Eileen's environments are the natural evolution of her eggs. Continuing with her millefiori technique she creates situations of whimsy that walk a fine line between nature and make believe.
Eileen started collecting eggs as a young lady. Her collection eventually inspired her to start making eggs of her own. Using polymer clay and a blown out egg shells she started developing her colorful eggs. Eventually Eileen started using the millefiori technique for her flights of fancy.
Not many people request a drill press for their birthday but for Eileen it was a dream come true. We have always enjoyed combing beaches but after finding a couple of beaches with extraordinary stones and a drill press Lake Michigan Stone necklaces were born. Many of her pieces are beach specific.
