Hobbies
Horses
My dad had me riding horses with him literally before I could walk. He actually created a horse crazy little girl. I currently have three horses (1 Arabian and 2 Quarter Horses), I ride and show. My son and I also Barrell Race. I am also a certified equine massage therapist Here is me on a Mustang I use to own and my son running barrels.
Fused Glass
Glass fusing requires combining pieces of glass with into the shapes and designs you want and then fusing them together inside of a kiln. It requires the ability to cut and assemble glass, knowledge of what happens to the glass at it heats in the kiln, and a little bit of math to know the coefficient of expansion for different types of glass. Here are a couple of my pieces.
Metal Work
I really enjoy taking a torch to some metal and then pounding away at it. I work in copper, sterling silver, and bronze. Here are some examples.
Crochet
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was a little girl. I have continued that tradition on. Sometimes I will throw in a little knitting project as well. I've also bought myself a loom and hope to have the time to teach myself to weave. Here are some of my creations.
