Lucky Stones
A customer once asked me if I would drill holes in a large collection of striped stones from the beach. She wanted to make pendants for her female relations who were all lucky stone collectors. Now I don’t drill holes in my beads, they are made with molten glass around a steel rod with a clay slip on it. So they have holes right from the very start. I told her I would be happy to make glass lucky stones and a very popular item came into being.

A bit about my self. I live on the coast of Maine. I moved here from Alaska were I grew up. Most people consider were I live now rural, but I lived in Prince William Sound before this. It was just my family on an island growing oysters and we might not go to town for six to eight months at a time. I loved it, and so the quite life of solitary work in my studio suites me just fine. I am an avid reader of audio books. Five hours a day I can be found on the torch at my workbench, my exhaust fan running with my ears protected by giant headphones, taking in about a book and a half a week. The Blue Hill Peninsula where I live now is a beautiful area and I indulge my love of nature daily. I have recently made a big change, closing the fine craft gallery I have owned for eleven years. I am endeavoring to transition to a mostly wholesale Studio. My customers will be able to follow my work on the studio’s Facebook page, shop locally at Handworks Gallery in Blue Hill, Magenta Magpie in Ellsworth and Island Artisans in Bar Harbor. As I build my whole sale accounts I’ll be listing Galleries carrying my work on my website. I hope you’ll enjoy this catalog of much of my line. Please share it with friends and let me know of any stores you think might be a good fit.
Thank you, Sihaya
