Well let's see if  I can blog. Lol this should be fun....
  Okay, lets get this started, I moved to Oahu Hawaii on Dec 7th 2009 from a small town in South-Western Pennsylvania named Waynesburg. Waynesburg's claim to fame is a yearly festival where people bet there hats on whether or not it's going to rain on one particular day....(farmers, go figure)
  Over the past 25 years I have traveled around the U.S. learning different artistic techniques and have now come to a point where I feel comfortable selling my creations. Not to mention that I finally found something that gives back to the earth as well.
 That would be recycled beer bottle glasses I also sell them at Etsy. These bottle glasses at present take me about 30 - 45 minutes each, from cutting them to smoothing the edges. They are a lot of fun to make. Here are some pics of them:

 These are just a few of the ones I make. I am always experimenting though and have found even more ways to re-use them. such as:

 The brown bottle is engraved by hand with a wonderfully in expensive tool called a Turbo Carver. and the necklace is a pendant made from the mouth of a Heineken(tm) bottle.
