About this Product
This handmade, one-of-a-kind picture is totally made from broken glass. It reminds me of looking at life under water in the clear blue seas because it features a variety of sea blues along with greens, pinks and black. The background canvas was hand-painted using teal/turquoise acrylic paint. The pieces of glass were then laid on top to form the picture. Then the entire picture was coated in art resin. This picture is approximately 8 x 10".
The glass reflects varying shades depending on the light. It is ready for hanging.
This is a one-one-a-kind piece of art. It is the piece you will receive.
Broken & Renewed Glass Art
Meet the Maker
Broken & Renewed Glass Art is the embodiment of my journey into mixed media jewelry which began over 25 years ago when I started working with stained glass in Tucson, AZ.
After moving to St. Charles, MO, I was introduced to glass fusing. I love the dynamic way that color can change when heated in a kiln. The variety of color possibilities is amazing...talk about rainbows. Learning to wire wrap became my way to turn the cabochons (focal pieces) into pendants, bracelets, earrings, and other accessories. I enjoy working with hand-painted porcelain cabochons…which are both colorful and lightweight…along with fused glass, Silver Silk knitted cord, satin cord, along with a variety of beads, wire and findings.
Throughout the years, I have taken classes to learn different techniques including Kumihimo cord and bead work, a unique addition to my portfolio, together with a variety of new wire wrapping techniques. I continue to learn through classes and online sources drawing inspiration and encouragement from them and allowing me to continue my passion for creating unique pieces of wearable art.
I am affiliated with several art organizations who have helped me to stay grounded and broaden my relationships within the artist community.

Shop Policies
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Because our jewelry is individually handcrafted, it is important to answer any of your questions/concerns up front. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly before you make your purchase. Thank you.
The pictures that you see in the shop are taken using a photo booth. The lighting is as natural as it can be. Many of the porcelain pieces are coated in mother of pearl and because of that they reflect varying colors. Please be aware that this can affect what you see. Also be aware that your screen will see things differently than mine. We work with a base color pallet but when mixing colors together new colors evolve. If you are concerned about coloring, please let us know before you purchase the piece and we will take several additional pictures and forward them to you. NO ITEM CAN BE RETURNED JUST BECAUSE THE COLOR ISN’T EXACTLY WHAT YOU EXPECTED. Thank you for understanding.
CUSTOM ORDERS
We do take custom orders. Time involved in processing evolves around several things.
- If ordering a piece with a porcelain focal, do we have that cab in our inventory or do we have to create it. If it is in our inventory, the next question is whether I have it in stock here or does it have to be shipped by my coworker. The time involved varies. We can discuss all of this prior to placing your order.
- A wire-wrapped piece takes approximately two business days to complete and ship if I have the wire in stock. If it has to be ordered, it can take up to two weeks based on wire delivery.
- Wire-wrapped cuff bracelets take two business days to complete and ship if I have the wire in stock. If it has to be ordered, it can take up to two weeks based on wire delivery.
