Welcome to my website. I am PJ Sweeney, a glass artist in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. My passion is glass, specifically warm glass, which is heated to a temperature of about 1600F. (Unless I am working on my ever expanding hockey puck collection.) I enjoy combining different types of glass, using different shapes, firing times and temperatures. I am particularly interested in dichroic glass. This glass is manufactured by depositing microscopically thin layers of metal oxides on extremely clean glass and processing it in a vacuum chamber. The reduction in the vacuum chamber causes light to change colors as it is reflected and/or transmitted.

My range of products include bookmarks, bracelets, (nugget , dangle and cuff), brooches, business card cases, business card holders, compacts, crosses, dishes, dragonfly pin/pendants, earrings, key rings, labyrinth jewelry, letter openers, magnifier paperweights, money clips, necklaces, pendants, pill boxes, vases, watches and some "over the top" sequin-embellished felt Christmas Stockings and Tree Skirts -- so far. I am always working on new things. Speaking of new things, I just added my own patterns in dichroic glass!, and a partz page for fellow artists, whether glass oriented or not. I also have a Gallery page. Another artist, Myra Nicholas, and I partner on several types of products which can be found at Confabulations., and NotJustPartz. All my work is proudly made in the USA.

My product line covers a broad area all within the medium of glass. I do stretch the definition sometimes and push the envelope most of the time. Because my work is limited production and/or one of a kind, I do not sell retail from this site. The retail prices are for reference for my wholesale accounts. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm I have received about my work, but it is not practical for me to do this. If you are in the Las Vegas area, I list the retail shows I participate in, contact me for a retailer in your area, or refer one to me.

Fresh inventory: These artists are part of my Gallery Line. JML Creations, Moods in Wire, Infinity Shines, Rose West (formerly Aquarius Beads), and Shell Bell Designs (we are calling our creations "PJBells". Click on each artist's name to go directely to the new good stuff.

By the way, if you are an information junkie, I have prepared a white paper explaining the process, giving color references, etc. Just click here. There is a caution, however. It is a LOT of information but I'm happy to share. You can't say I didn't warn you! It is a lot of information! I really mean it!

Click here for interesting links: of other artists, good places for supplies, and other just fun and interesting sites.

OK, I need closer supervision: I have added a "yardsale" page. Every now and then I get stuff that didn't work for me, or I bought too much, or whatever. This will be stuff you'll see when I do bead shows. Truly an assortment of very odds and ends. Click here. I also have a special "partz" page featuring spool kits, among other things. Click here. I'll also list patterned dichroic glass and decals for my fellow warm glass fans.

Sign my guest book if you are interested in new items I am working on (such as tiles and fountains), or if you would like additional information, or just to say "hi!"
