For those who follow my newsletters know I’m teaching fused glass classes in my home. I have taught several classes now and I really enjoy teaching. To show my appreciation for people who support me and attend my classes, I want to create a rewards program (i.e., a bonus class) […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving because it’s focused on family. We always go visit Dan’s family in Delta Colorado. Even though Sky wasn’t with us we did have an addition to the family, Ryan. Isn’t she adorable? We had a fabulous time, I love spending […]
I participated in the Rampart High School Arts and Craft Show this month. I always love talking about my glass. I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner is Margaret. She can choose her $25 worth of free fused glass at my Doherty […]
Last month I had a commercial order for a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for this hotel for several years. She’s always been understanding when I run out of the normal glass I use for her so we’ve changed the colors a few times. This time […]

Normally my fused glass class minimum is 3 students. However, I have made exceptions for example, the class with Merle and Kathy (she wanted to make several things which is difficult with a lot of students) and when Merle wanted 8 different standing trees. So, when my friend Cheryl said […]
You know one of my favorite things about Art, including fused glass, is it can represent a cause that you believe in. I created a sconce for my mom, I created a gift for my nephew’s retirement, and I made the pendants and magnets for “I Believe in You”, etc. […]
My nephew, Rocky, just retired from the Air Force. He served 22 years just as I did. I’m so proud of him and I wanted to create something to commemorate his retirement. I created custom screen prints and then created this beautiful iridized white sconce. It’s kind of perfect timing […]
First, I want to let y’all know I will NOT be at Liberty’s craft show. For that show I have to set up, hold the show, and tear down in 1 day and that’s just too much for me and my old body. Second, I will not have a home […]
