Meet Michelle Strader from Shoozles url- http://shoozles.etsy.com
Michelle told me, "Shoozles is a nick name I got from my cousin when I was 10 and I was wrestling my brother in the front yard so it is now my Business name- Thought it made a much better jewelry business name then a wrestling name LOL".
Michele likes nature and color that is what influences her style more than any thing. But she also said, " I love response, I am a response junkie- What does that mean? It means I listen to people talk about what they like and it means anything that makes me feel an emotion gets me motivated to make glass."
Shoozles would like you to notice that her work is artistic. It isn't just layers of stacked glass. My opinion is that I love it. It has style and is so different that lots of the fused glass that is out there. Personally, I have bought from her and love my pieces.
I have a few items from her shop along with Michele's descriptions.

This is a scenic focal pendant with a little lovely leafy twig. A Silver plated bail is securely attached. All my pendants are annealed (cooled slowly) for durability.
