Finally, a necklace of disc beads in opaque teal with marbled blue overlay. #lascruces #newmexico #newmexicoartist #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #handmade

I mentioned in a post last week that I had some big news to share. Here it is: I'm moving to Las Cruces, New Mexico, and will permanently reside there. Las Cruces has a thriving arts scene and art markets, and will allow me to earn good income from my work while in retirement. There may be a pause for a while as I get settled. Until then, enjoy the end of Spring!
