The Beginning

Today I am beginning a new adventure... blogging. I've never done one, never read one (until very recently), and I'm still learning about them so please bare with me.

Let me introduce my blog:

Navarro Creations
Handmade gifts of distinction.
American Woman-Made

This blog is to help introduce a new audience to all of my creations and well as to introduce you to other artists, crafters and local businesses I meet along my way through festivals, boutiques and of course the internet highway.

I work with all types of mediums from pencils...paints...glass. Currently my work is mainly with glass. I've been working with glass for 5 years now. From stained glass, lampworking, and fusing. Only dabbling in glass blowing.

My glass fusing:
Each piece has been handcrafted by myself, in my home studio in Southern California. I handle every piece from the sheets of glass through a multitude of stages including multiple firings, grinding and shaping, fire polishing and strengthening, to create a beautiful American Woman-made piece of work. Every piece is a true labor of love and due to the handcrafted nature every piece is unique, no two pieces are exactly alike and nothing is mass produced!

I hope you enjoy being introduced to my work and tell a friend!

I know you can be on the internet for hours at a time given all the wealth of information you can find so I want to thank you for spending time with me!
