Here's an example of Don's ornaments. He has been making them for over twenty years. It started out as just a Christmas item for the AAUW Bazaar - a big shopping event here in Kodiak. Now they are offered year round - I'm on my way to deliver some to The Next Page, Kodiak's independent bookstore. About 6" - 8" in length, each one is individually made of boro glass, annealed for strength and durability.

We have customers who buy one every year!

Don the Fyrsmith and our daughter, the apprentice, are getting ready to head off to Philadelphia for a Female Flame-off at the Philly Glassworks. They have been working on techniques, picking out finished pieces for trading or selling to other participants, and packing tools and equipment to take with them. Zora, the apprentice, has a bunch of hearts for sale on eBay to help finance her trip. You can look at them by searching for seller ID fireworksglass or doing a search for "Fyrsmith" at
