Welcome New Visitors!

Hello and thanks for stopping by! This weekend is the first virtual Gathering of the Guilds in Portland. This is a show that I have vended at and attended for many years…so many talented artists coming together in one place for a weekend. If you have arrived here from the Gathering link, welcome! My website is under a massive re-branding thanks to a great marketing class I recently participated in with Dr. Julie Denton of the Zurich Glass School. Now I just need to make the time to overhaul it! I spend my time here in SW Portland creating glass beads in my Big Betty Camper Studio, gardening like mad, caring for our 2 dogs, 3 cats and 4 humans, playing tennis whenever I can, and I don’t know what happens to the rest of the time!

The Covid pandemic has taught us all many lessons this past 14 months. For me, it’s been an eye opener for my creative process and increased the time I’ve spent at my torch making glass creations. It has also forced me to overhaul my in-person sales platform and shift to online sales. I’ve found great success in utilizing Facebook selling groups for online glass bead sales and am in the process of shifting my jewelry and glass beadable items over to that platform as well. This website has a lot of pictures….A LOT…and not great pictures either - taking great product pics is also a skill I have refined greatly. Have a look, but visit my newest work on https://www.facebook.com/debcoxdesigns

Stay well, vaccinate and enjoy life!
