I enjoy listening to music of all kinds, cooking and am hopelessly addicted to bad reality TV!

Tears are a universal symbol of grief. A Glass Tear represents a pledge from one person to another, to support them as they mourn the loss of a loved one. Glass Tears are not a casual gift that should be given without the deepest, sincere, heartfelt intent to offer support. A Glass Tear is intended to be a lasting gesture that survives the traditional flowers and cards of other well-wishers. Glass Tears are a monument to the love and support that you intend to offer.

Janet’s husband, Gary, participates in the making of their handcrafted Christmas ornaments. When MS forced him into an early retirement from dentistry, Gary set up his workshop with all his power tools and working surfaces at wheelchair height. Together, Gary and Janet turn a rectangle for wood into a lathe-turned, hand-carved and painted one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.

An avid photographer since she was introduced to her mother’s Brownie Hawkeye camera, Linda’s work in digital photography is supported by a love for travel, a passion for nature, and a love of the great outdoors.

Linda and Dave reside in lovely Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with their sons David and Joshua and the family Weimaraner, Mr. Deuce, a new and frequent photo subject. Linda is also a frequent contributor to The Bucks County Herald where she is known as River Voice.

After high school Kristine went to the Fashion Institute of Technology where she received a BFA in Interior Design. She eventually fell in love with the jewelry making process and went on to get an AAS in Jewelry Studio. She also completed several intensive classes with Cecelia Bauer, specializing in a technique called granulation and learning the art of hand-engraving while on the job. Kristine worked in the jewelry industry starting in 1994 and is still doing custom design work and hand-engraving today.

Now caring for her children at home, Kristine was reintroduced to knitting. At that time, felting wool and knitting handbags helped her satisfy her unyielding need to create. With the kids no longer toddlers, a business plan was developed that moved beyond hand-knits alone and into up-cycling sweaters and other natural fibers. Combining these with other eco-friendly fabric options, Kristine returned to her family roots and created the limited edition and one-of-a-kind handbags and accessories that you see today. Please Enjoy!

I enjoy working with my hands, and I find that the tactile experience of printmaking provides me with as much enjoyment as the final piece.

My prints still find their inspiration in wildlife, but my subjects have also turned to historical buildings, landscapes, and the pets with whom I share my home. My nature drawings have illustrated The Lehigh Valley, a concise study of this Eastern Pennsylvania region’s natural history by Drs. Robert Halma & Carl S. Oplinger, and I contributed a set of historically-inspired prints to illustrate Dr. Mark Graham’s How Islam Created the Modern World.

I am currently working on a series of prints which focus on native song birds and flowers, the brilliant colors and refined beauty of which are representative of the themes my art seeks to capture, for the benefit of others to enjoy. I hope that you find as much pleasure in viewing your print as I had in making it.

Ms. Buesgen’s passion for ceramics ranges from hand-built pots to finely crafted jewelry, with the jewelry being a relatively new venture. “I have recently started to work on the smaller scale of ceramics,” says Buesgen, “I enjoy making delicate things.” Also, she is well-known for her dynamic glazes and organic, nature-inspired motifs. “I’m always…experimenting with glazes, textures and styles,” she says.

Now, residing in the Emmaus area, Shamira is excited to bring her art form and creativity to elevate your senses with a unique, invigorating and inviting fragrant experience.

She hopes you enjoy them as much as she enjoyed creating them.

Although I still enjoy bead stringing and wire work, I have fallen in love with bead weaving. The intricate stitches and rhythmic motion are reminiscent of embroidery, and the results are quite spectacular! I love learning new stitches, experimenting with new patterns, and I am in awe of all the beautiful seed bead colors.

My goal as a jewelry artist is to create jewelry that is beautiful, interesting, and well-made with fine attention to detail. I enjoy doing custom work and the challenge of creating special pieces that have meaning to the wearer, as well as an extension of the love felt by the giver.
