We
invented this art form in 1979 just by chance. It
was one of those great
accidental discoveries that's still as popular and maybe more
refined and
collectible with age.,...( like us! ) after this many years we think
everyone has
to have seen it before...but every year there are new admirers of
our product.
I am the creator and designer of the individual pieces and I do all the
engraving.
Our boxes are ever-changing,...one thing leads to another and it goes like
that
year after year. We always wonder why we didn't think of that
idea before.
Most
recent are the depression glass toothpick holders,...they
make
a great little box,...and twice the collectible appeal.
( I didn't know such a thing existed!)
We have been cutting back on the number of shows we do each year
and
2003 will
be the lowest total of shows in 20
years.
My husband Bob
can always be seen selling at the shows these days.
He helps with parts of the business as well but as we slow down on
the
shows,.. he has some golf games to catch up on and a Lionel
Train set to build.
We are pretty busy selling on the internet and that's the direction things
will
go in 2003. It's a new world with the internet,...I used to
hire sales reps
just to cover some of the US... and now every place is as close as the
keyboard!
We
live in the beautiful wine country in Northern California.
Sorry,..
but we don't have a showroom at this time,... maybe in the future.
Thanks for looking!

ABOUT FOGGWORKS
We started
this business with a bang in 1979 and after many years we
realized we didn't want to work day and night so we chose to
do a few
select Art Festivals
every year.
We travel all over California and sometimes Reno and Las Vegas.
Check our 2002 Show Schedule.
Once in
awhile we run into a customer that bought from us
in the early
years and they still love the box they have.
Sometimes people have been looking for us to show up at a festival
for years,.... hopefully this site will make our LENS
BOXES
more available to them and those that are out of state.
Since we
started this business we've had almost every one of
mine and Bobs children and grandchildren work with us.
The young ones especially like to help do the festivals.
They're really lots of fun for them and yes,...there's an abundance
of true junk food, lots of activities,
music,
and magic!
