Look what my sister-in-law, Barb, gave me for my birthday! 4 necklaces, and 2 sets of earrings, all made by her! I was secretly hoping for one, but four!!!! It's going to take me a long time each morning trying to figure out which one to wear that day. And look how beautiful each of these turned out. She combines glass and metal, melting them in a kiln, to create these wearable works of art. Each one turns out different, and all are dramatically beautiful!
This is the same sister-in-law who had the heart valve surgery in June. She is doing extremely well now. I've put a link to her (Barb & Bob) blog in my blogroll on the right. It's so much fun watching someone come back to life right before your very eyes; Barb has energy again to do things that she loves and are of interest to her.
TFL!

Does she have an etsy site? If not...she totally should. That is some wonderful craftmanship.
Oh yes, I'm jealous! Those are wonderful; she is really talented. I'd buy from her in a heartbeat.
You are right I'm jealous. Happy Birthday! My birthday was yesterday.
Very beautiful!
OH GORGEOUS! I love the third and fourth ones!
What an awesome gift! They're beautiful.
OOOO....those are so amazing. I love all of the colors. I am SO jealous. I am glad she is doing better! What a talent to have.
I'm so happy to hear (and see) how well Barb is doing! Those are some fantastic pieces. She's got talent for sure.
Lucky you to be the recipient of such beautiful craftsmanship!
WOW WOW WOW! These are AMAZINGLY gorgeous! I have to ditto Heather's thoughts on an etsy shoppe if she doesn't have one already- I would LOVE to have a set (or two or three!) of these!
Happy birthday! :)
Those are gorgeous! I am not a jewelry person, really, but I would totally wear something like that. I especially love the bottom one! You are one lucky girl!
How great to hear she's doing so well and back to doing what she loves. These are beautiful. I was at a big craft fair yesterday and was admiring pieces like this. I hope she makes a ton of money!
I forgot to say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Those are all such beautiful, crafty pieces! My favorite is the last one. Happy, Happy Birthday!!!
