About The Artist Welcome To Jettonne's World
Lampworking has been my passion and part of my daily life since 1976; Working solely with clear borosilicate hard glass for 28 years, I have begun working with, and incorporating colored borosilicate and soda lime glasses into my own personal designs since 2006. I couldn't imagine life without glass. I count my many blessings everyday and look forward to what my future will bring.
All of my handmade glass art starts from long glass rods of Italian Moretti/Effetre, Murano, Lausha, Reichenbach, Ask, CIM, Double Helix Glassworks, Bullseye, (soda lime glass)...OR Northstar, Glass Alchemy, Schott, Pyrex, (borosilicate hard glass) melted in my propane gas and oxygen torch flame using my "Nortel Minor Burner" OR my "Carlisle WildCat", shaped and formed freehand, using no molds, and are properly kiln annealed overnight for lasting durability. Great care is taken when cleaning each individual bead, inspected fully for quality assurance, securely packaged, and rushed to you upon cleared payment...Your satisfaction is always guaranteed!
Along life's journey I have met the most wonderful people and am sincerely grateful for all the joy I have received through this artform. I currently sell my artwork through Etsy and eBay as well, along with my mother's Madame Alexander Dolls , hand crafted knit/crochet accessories, and my Auntie Mary's Avon. We three, share this eBay site, and we welcome your visit. All comments are much appreciated. We will look forward to hearing from you! Love, peace and hope to all, Jettonne
