Beautiful stuff from an artist in my PJewel+ line is included. Click here. Diana Hecht of Diana's Designs in St. John is a wire wrapper who has a different style than Ed Sinclair, but equally beautiful. Her website is being redone.

This is the teaser page for my new ideas.

"Happy Holidays" by Bucilla 2004. 16" tab to toe measurement. All hand sewn sequins and glass beads. As you can see, I used EXTRA sequins and beads to jazz it up. I've gotten hooked on doing these and put them up on Ebay (my ebay name is "Peejer2") in the fall. If you are interested before they go up, email me and you can choose from my inventory. This one is $100.00 plus $4.50 US Priority Shipping.

Dichro Donut
This is #4. $40.00 retail with satin cord; $50.00 with Sterling Silver Chain. Click here for others that are available:

"Mi Casa" Pin
Retail $35.00
Each one of these house pins are different and I only do a very few at a time. Some are tall and thin, some short and not thin. All are carefully cut, arranged and fired.

Oven Fresh 1
Retail $38.00.
28mm x 53mm (at the widest and longest points) 12mm thick at the thickest.
Hop on over to the Oven Fresh Page for the full selection!"Fresh from the Oven"
A "non glass" artist friend refers to my kiln work as "roasting and toasting", so here is a selection fresh from the oven. Each piece is hand manipulated and I doubt if any two can ever be alike. I am working on different sizes and when I have enough for a whole page, I'll add that. Please bear in mind that everyone's computer shows colors differently, and dichroic glass is one of the most difficult to reproduce. These pieces are designed for metalworkers, wire wrappers who are looking for small artworks to enhance their craft and definitely make a statement.

Dragonfly Pin/Pendant
Retail $25.00
Obviously, I need closer supervision. After the Glass Expo in Las Vegas 2002, I have started doing some of these small pin/pendants. Ask about colors available. Limited quantities. (Click here for selection #2 choices that have flown thru.) (Click here for peek #3.) (Click here for peek #4.)

"Dichro Space Pearl" necklace.
I was left unsupervised at the Las Vegas Bead Show in June 2000, found these dichro beads (from Paula Radke), took my trusty spool knitting paraphernalia, and voila! This one is a choker measuring 14". Retail $30.00. Bracelets with sterling silver and 14K gold filled wire and plated magnetic clasps are $25.00.

"Fairy Cross"
Retail $49.50
These unique pieces seem to glow. The size is about 1" by 3/4". Can be made with gold tone or silver tone bail. Email me if you want to know what colors/styles are available.

Sequined Christmas (or Holiday) Felt Stockings and Tree Skirts (or Table Toppers) I've developed a passion for working these lovelies from kits -- mostly Bucilla, which I think has the best quality. In the fall I put them on ebay to keep the circulating and to give me more $$ to buy more kits. This is very "zen" for me -- I also call it "S&M" (sequins and meditation) I also do custom stockings from kits you might want to purchase and send to me to work. If you want to take your chances on a bargain price on Ebay, my Ebay name is "Peejer2". I HAVE STARTED LISTING THEM!

4Square Pin Not exactly what you think of when someone says, "4 Squares", is it? These are hand cut dichroic glass squares arranges and toasted just enough to stick together and make some interesting shapes. The standard 4Square Pins retail for $40.00; the 4Square Minus 2 Pins retail for $20.00. All have a gold tone pin/pendant finding. (click on each thumbnail for a closer look.)

OK, I'll be the first to admit I need closer supervision. I just created these beauties. These are golden business card cases with kiln formed dichroic glass enhancing the top. Each one comes with a "velvet" bag. 3 5/8" x 2 3/8" Retail $50.00.

Perrie Platter
Retail $18.50
For my "tee totaling" friends. Perrier Bottles are slumped (so you can read the word "Perrier" on the bottle) filled with candies, wrapped in gossamer wrap, carded and tied with a bow. "Pellegrino Platters" also available. Very limited quantities -- I can only drink so much water, you know. The small inset image shows the platter without the gossamer wrap.

PenPod2
This is a beautiful Pod Pendant made with fine silver clay and dichroic glass. 2 1/4" by 1 " Retail $190 + s/h. Silk cord included; sterling chain is available. Click here for the rest of the PJewel+Brauchi line.

Hot Glass Horizons 2000 in Corning, NY was great! Here is one of the pieces I made in Vicky Day's "Going Deep" class. 7 layers of glass, each with a component of the design are fired separately, then assembled and fired as a unit. The tile is about 3 1/2" square and about 3/4" thick. I am going to make a lighted wall piece out of it. Cool, huh? The image on the left is with transmitted light; the right is reflected light.

Fowl Play
These beautiful pins use natural feathers and my dichroic glass. Come to Sharon Pierce's Wearable Art Show in Northern Virginia in September to buy them from the artist at the Fowl Play booth. They retail for $40 and up.

Check the Gallery for stuff from other artists. (I might sneak in something of mine, too.)

These are the Dichro Donuts I have in stock. $35.00 Each one measures about 1 5/8" across and all are made with dichroic art glasses. They come with a satin cord at no extra cost; Sterling Silver Chain is $10.00 extra; Shipping via Priority Mail is $4.00.
