Diane Shimmons

Designer of many of my focal beads using fused glass, various clays (metal, porclean, etc) and wire wrappying.   Embellished with semi-precious gems, gall and metal beads.    Years ago I did shows with stained glass for many years and then I suffered a heart attack, so it was time to take off for a while.  My father asked me to help out with the family business, so I spent a number of years working there.   I missed working with glass and took some classed using fusing glass and  wire wrapped most of the glass and then added metal clays, and the rest just fell into place.
