I am originally from Los Alamos, born and raised. I have been crocheting for 20 years or better. I am New Mexico True Certified. I crochet animals and animated characters. I love making these because I enjoy seeing the beautiful smiles on children's faces, and if I can be that one person that can make that special person happy, it makes me happy. I do not use patterns. I create my work by looking at pictures, which makes my work very unique. They all have their own personality. I love what I do, and you can follow me on Instagram @ladyofcrafts, or on FB http://www.facebook.com/nancycritters/ Learn More

I have worked with stained glass for 42 years, but since my retirement in 2014 I have done fused glass exclusively. I find I can do more elaborate designs with fused glass.

From the time I was a small child I would pick up bits of colored glass or gather bottles that had a shine or special shape. Now, in fusing glass I can express that delight I had as a young child creating fun and exciting art from everyday images. Now as a long time resident of NM, I love its shapes, textures, colors and ever-changing patterns in nature. I have learned to enjoy the nuances of place, people, relationship and interaction with self and other. As a glass artist, I am learning to enjoy the same energies that exist within myself and bring them into playful expression. This is a magical journey into the unkknown territory that I find thrilling. Learn More

I have been a rock hound since childhood and have collected many beautiful rocks and minerals over my lifetime. When I retired I took classes on how to cut and polish rocks and silversmithing and it has become a passion. I find it very exciting to see raw materials transform into a final product that can be worn as jewelry. Learn More

I grew up on the Maine coast and have always had a child's fascination for things that sparkled and glistened. The simple puddling of gasoline on the water after a lobster boat had gassed up, or a tidal pool at low tide always fascinated me. To recreate those colors I design cabochon jewels. Alcohol ink is added in layers to the backside of a flat glass marble. Each one is unique and is approximately 1 1//4in in diameter. I never know what the front will look like until the ink has dried and I can turn it over. Sealant is then applied to the bottom side, making these water-resistant. A fun addition to a garden, plant pot, window sill or even a piece of rotted wood. Learn More
