Lilliana Glenn works out of a home studio in Massachusetts creating flameworked glass beads, vessels and jewelry.

When I look at Kate Fowle Meleney’s beads I feel as though I am looking through a window pane into a world of riotous color and pattern – makes me want to open the window, lean out, look around and say “Good Morning World!”
