While hiking one day, Ronda found some pretty glass in a 1940’s landfill and realized that the glass would take hundreds of years to disintegrate.  This gave her a way to contribute to recycling efforts in her community.

Ronda has had a ceramic kiln for years, so she started experimenting with melting glass and began collecting wine bottles and other interesting looking bottles and started make wine bottle cheese plates. When Ronda removes her plate from the kiln and starts designing, she might add a bead to the plate and attaches a cheese knife with a ribbon. She has deigned her own mold for the handle. There are also molds that she uses to melt the bottles over and imprints butterflies or grapes and leaves and says “Bon Appétit.”

All of Whispering Elk Creations are unique; there are never two alike.   Ronda also creates custom pieces for weddings or anniversaries or other notable events.  One such piece she melted a couple’s special bottle into a plate.

Whispering Elk Creations can be found in Ronda’s boutique in Meeteetse and on her business page on Facebook, www.facebook/WhisperingElkCreations.MeeteetseWyo
