I am excited to offer some nice pieces of fused glass at a reasonable price! If you prefer a different color, design, style....just connect with me directly. I am happy to make something that will give you joy!

(Want a Preview? Scroll down to see more of my images or see my previous posts!)


This large serving platter doubles as a beautiful show piece. It's 11x11" cobalt blue iridescent glass with glass pebbles. You can read about my inspiration on the sales page!  



This is one of my most favorite pieces. Black glass shows off the copper embedded Hebrew letter Lamed. Sprouting from the letter is a heart.  The shape of this plate is also unusual...it has 
asymmetrical fold lines making it an origami dish. I am happy to make it in other colors if black isn't your thing!

Seder Plates for Chanukah?

By the Sea Seder Plate


NO! There aren't any new Chanukah rituals or customs involving a seder in December....at least none I am aware of!

I did read an article in Alma (https://www.heyalma.com/the-hilarious-reason-why-this-writer-hosted-a-hanukkah-seder/) that described a Chanukah seder inspired by Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  

BUT ... Seder plates can be a lovely gift for someone...or yourself at Chanukah time! They also make great wedding gifts, birthday gifts....or a gift for ourself!

This seder plate will be available for purchase beginning November 25th at the ORA Virtual Market Place:       

https://northwestjewishartists.org

I rarely have many seder plates in stock. Most of my customers prefer commissioning a seder plate/ They want some choice in the design, color, wording...and whether or not they want little insert dishes. I love working with my clients to help them imagine what their seder plate might look like and what symbolism they would like it to carry. You can reach me at sparksofspirit@gmail.com

A Fairy Tale on Glass

                           AVAILABLE November 25th @ https://northwestjewishartists.org...click on the shop button.



 Tillandsia, commonly known as an air plant come in many shapes and sizes. I love them! They don't require soil, but they do thrive with a little indirect sunlight and a weekly bath! They originate in Central and South America but thrive as houseplants. They make me feel like I am hosting a small fairy land forest.

I will have a couple pieces of glass available with these tropical plants on the ORA Market Place site.



           

I do have a variety of Tillandsia  and additional glass displays available in my studio. If you are looking for a different color or style of glass, just ask! Send me an email and tell me what you are looking for. I am happy to help you! Direct orders for commissions or items not posted on the ORA site are welcome beginning November 16th! 

Tillandsia and glass are only available locally. To preserve the health of the plants, I won't be shipping them but I will do what I can to either deliver your purchase or arrange for a pick up from Portland, Oregon and the the near by areas.

FUSED GLASS JUDAICA: A Great Chanukkah or Bar/Bat Mitzvah Gift!


 These tallit clips look a bit like granite but are made of glass!
The actual clips are fabric friendly and will safely attach to your tallit.

If this pair appeals to you, I'm afraid you will have to wait until our Virtual Market Place opens November 25th. It's open 24/7 through December 17th. To shop the virtual marketplace just go to northwestjewishartists.org then click on shop.


If you can't wait, I have other clips ( a variety of colors and designs ) that are available now and you can also propose a design. I am happy to work with you on a commissioned piece. I will begin accepting commissions as soon as November 16th. Just write to me at sparksofspirit@gmail.com

Stay tuned! I will be posting new items every few days...
