Sharon Peters Lampworked Glass Beads and my favorite instructor ever! Funny, wacky, inspirational and she makes HUGE beads! Check it out, it's guaranteed fun!

Andrea Guarino is a COOL person! Warm, friendlly, helpful....and talk about amazing beads! I love her work and I love her! I have taken her class, taken a class with her and got to know her a little better at the 2008 Gathering. I am hoping to take her master class one of these days. Check out her work and enjoy!

M & D Designs Vickie Branch and Marion Ogle (mom and daughter team) have a wonderful glass and bead shop in the quaint town of Chinook WA. And although tucked away in this little coastal town, they offer a HUGE selection of glass, tools, beads, classes, you name it! And if they don't have it, they know where to get it. Check out their website...better yet, stop by if you're in the neighborhood.

Deb Crowley's Fish Deb Crowley was (and still is!) an inspiration for me with her ability to create realistic looking fish from glass. I have been fortunate enough to have been part of her workshops as well as Glass Stock 2004!

Kate Fowle Melaney is an amazing bead artist as well as an amazing instructor. Her class was so full of info, I am thinking of taking it again next year! Electro-forming, painting, enamels, metals, reduction glass...you name it, we played with it. Kate was more than happy to demo anything we wanted to see and really is a bounty of bead knowledge! Oh did I mention her beads are GORGEOUS too!

Frantz Glass has a great selection of glass and tools, good prices and very friendly service!

Arrow Springs is another frequently visited glass stop for me!

Diving Turtle I have had the pleasure of being on the same dive trip with Judith on several occasions. She is a wonderful person who loves the ocean with the same passion I feel. She has even written a book about her experiences underwater called The Universe Next Door: A Personal Odyssey. Be sure to checkout Judy's, and her husband John's, underwater photos from around the world.

Jim's Website Jim Lyle, a good friend and dive buddy, has been all around the world (literally!) diving with his lovely wife Deborah. He has taken some amazing photos and writes very entertaining and thorough trip reports. If you have thought about taking a trip and it's near an ocean, have a look...he has probably been there!
