This Week's Funky Find! Artist Melanie Cansler

I have a new found passion in hand blown glass and while browsing the net today looking at some "Women in Glass" I found some amazing pieces by artist Melanie Cansler in New York.
Melanie began her work as a glass artist back in 1995 and became a full time studio artist. She speaks with the passion that only an artist possesses. Her love of her work and her skill is evident in the stunning pieces that she creates.
Below are just a few of her pieces that I immediately fell in love with.
To view more of Melanie's range please visit her web site at

Nautilus Pendant - This is the first in a series of nautilus pendants and with my passion for ocean inspired jewellery I adore this piece.
The range continues with a series of similar pendants in various colours including, red, blue and orange.
Misc. Schtuff - some of Melanie's older work which is just as beautiful as her new creations.

Dancing Figurines
How can you not love this little guy just hanging around and holding your heart. This is adorable.

Inside Out Beads -
just look at the detail in this bead - it is truly inspirational!

Thankyou Melanie for inspiring me on my journey to the torch!
