Just keeping you up today with my foray into cooking. I took my first class alone this month, crepes. I met a wonderful lady and we had a good time. We made both sweet and savory crepes the French way and it’s not as easy as you’d think. Hers were perfect, mine not so much. But we did have a …Read more. |

I blogged about a Fused Glass class that I took with Laurie Spray in Sept last month. After reading my blog one of my customers told me I should make some more to actually sell, so I made 3. I think they are fantastic!! The cool thing about the flowers, is they are created in pieces. I can also put …Read more. |
In my last blog I wrote about my good friend Iris leaving Colorado Springs. Well we spent the day together in Manitou Springs last week. What a blast we had.

Did you know ...This section is used to answer any questions you may have or to pass on tidbits of information that add value and enhance knowledge regarding fused glass, metals, or jewelry in general. Let me know if you have anything you'd like me to include. As I mentioned in above, on March 7th, I'm going have a home show. I haven't had a home show in a long time. Below are some pictures of my studio. I also made a quick video about it. |
Here is one of the tables. As you can see I have some new fused glass artwork. I have large bowls, small dishes, bookend, art, votives, lantern, wine stoppers, mushroom lights, and so much more. |
Here is another one of the tables with my glass. It's a small table but some nice fused glass art. I have poker guards, belt buckles, spa bars, votives, drawer pulls, Ikebana vases, lanterns, and so much more. |
The third table, has jewelry, including snap jewelry (tiny, medium, and large), pendants, and earrings. BTW earrings are by two get one free. |
Beyond the three tables above I'm going to show you those who come my glass studio. This room is my "finished" room. I use this room to store my finished fused glass. I also use this room to take pictures of my glass. |
This is my "finished room" which means once I finish my glass work I bring them to this room, take pictures of them and then get them ready for my shows. Notice I have some flowers displayed and some other fused glass pieces displayed but the majority my artwork is packed. |
Here is where I take my pictures and underneath the table I have my fused glass pendants, rings, eyeglass holder, and so much more. |
This room is my "finishing" room. This is a new room for me and I use it to finish my fused glass art. I also put up some of my fused glass artwork that I've made in classes. I have my supplies, books, and artwork that inspires me and memorabilia from my Air Force Career. |
This is my overall studio. It's so usable for me now. I can't wait to work on projects I haven't been able to. It's so great and I'm so happy. |
If you get a chance to come and visit me during my home show please do between 0900-1600 on 7 Mar 2020. Please email me with any questions you may have (http://www.elegantfusedglassbykaren.com) |
