Currently working in fused glass, trying to integrate my love for color and glass with my metal work

My work is influenced by a career as a laboratory technician and a wastewater treatment plant operator.

Inspired by beauty and humor found in unexpected places, I share my enthusiastic view of the organisms that live in and around waste.

Food, water and waste are recurring topics in my work.

Food is a topic I often explore. Food is more than fuel. It forms memories and reinforces relationships. It is culture and ritual. At times, it is obsession. Food is a common thread that weaves us together.

Hello Cami,

Welcome to crafthaus, the network for fine craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through January 15, 2013.

Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!

Please note that ALL images sent to the website editor are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect!

If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime, I will do my best to be of help.

I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.

Again: Welcome !

Yup. The truth is, the more one gets out and about here the more fun it really is. Everyone likes to share, this is a hand-selected group. It just "works" :-)
