Featured Etsian Artist~shepherdcreations















We are a husband-and-wife team that are passionate about glass art from the flame. Nature is our best inspiration...
Glasswork became our passion, then we branched into sculptures.

We love nature, so stop by often for different glass animals.

We started out making our own beaded jewelry, but we always had a hard time finding the right colors of beads.

"I'm Patrice, the primary artisan, and my husband Paul built and maintains our studio and also enjoys working with glass. I began my journey into glass via beadwork, starting in seed beads. It is easy to spend hours in a bead store browsing and choosing your favorites, but it is often difficult to find just the right colors or patterns that suit your individuality. This is why I began melting glass: I wanted truly unique beads to use in my own handcrafted jewelry. However, once I began making my own beads, I realized how exciting sculpture and pendants are to make, so our studio was born of a realized passion for hard glass. "

I was just randomly browsing through the great 'world' of Etsy and found these sweet store... The bootie and rattle sets melted my heart! So of course, I had to show them off and melt your heart as well!
My daughter's little piggies just keep growing so darned fast, I wonder if these can be made in her size.. hmm... (Can be made up to 12 months, I'm in luck!)
They're just too cute to pass up! I am a huge sucker for baby booties..
Which set is your favorite?


"The love of crafting was inspired within me through my mother's example. I would sit next to her for hours while she knit or crochet and soon I learned to hold a crochet hook before I learned to hold a pencil. By the age of five, I had mastered the art of crochet well enough to create my own designs, soon I learned to knit. I hope that by my example my now young children are inspired with the love of creating as I was at their age. "

"Welcome!
