August 2024 NewsletterI'm sorry for the delay of this newsletter, I was running behind on finishing up my posts.

As I posted in my last newsletter, I've been out of the country. If you would like to schedule a class in September, please let me know. All you need is 3 or more people, and we can provide a private class with lots of options. |
My intent is to have home shows starting in October. As always there will be a free gift just for attending. I'll also have other fun surprises. I hope you will be able to attend. |
I've been to Korea a few times now, I I always walk by this wood store but it's never been open. On this trip I walked by again and it was open.

A few months ago, my friend Cathy showed me how to make micro mosaics. As a reminder, here are the ones I made with Cathy. Since I'm in Korea I thought I'd do some glass work and the only real way to do that is a mix media format. I got grey mosaic sculpt which is softer to black, in …Read more. |
I love writing my posts and newsletter. I have a section for sells, but I don't update the sales section very often. The other day I actually made a sale, and it really shocked me. I sold the poker guard below. I included a black velvet bag with the poker guard. As always, I gave her a free gift. This …Read more. |
I love fused glass eye glass holders. My favorite is the one with my children, but I also like my snap eyeglass holders, because I can change it out anytime I like. Making fused glass eye glass holders is a bit of a pain because the glass has to fit perfectly in the holder. So, when I find a piece …Read more. |
I was going through some of my older pieces and decided to change them up a bit. First, I found some poker guards that didn't really fit as poker guards. So I changed the 3 of them to large snaps. I love the tree of life. I made it into a pendant and a broach. You can wear it as …Read more. |
I love making casted fused glass pieces. I recently purchased a casting mold for doggy paws. So, I started making fused glass dog paws and here are some one the ones I've made so far.

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 discuss. This "Did You Know" is finishing some of my projects. As I mentioned in my July newsletter, I was on a business trip to Korea in August. In fact, I left the 2nd of August and am not leaving until 30 August. It's difficult to write about glass when I'm not at home with my kilns. However, I make glass every day, so I have lots of photos of glass and thought I'd put them in this month's DYK. Some of them may have been in past posts and some of them may not have been see before. Either way I love showing off my glass. *Remember, if you see something you want to purchase - please let me know! |
I'm sure you have figured out that I make more pendants than anything else. I just love making pendants. |
This is kind of a mix, a few pinch bails, a few tiny pendants, some with decals, some with millefiori. The tiny ones can be zipper pulls, medium can be key chains, and so much more. |
This is a great group of pendants, some with decals, some screen printed, some dichroic, some millefiori. |
Here are some more pinch bail pendants, which means they are pretty on both sides. |
I just love these pieces, they are murine and millefiori. They are so beautiful!! |
Again, you have to see these pendants they are lovely and have so much depth. |
Here are some earrings and 2 sets meaning earrings and pendants that match! |
Here are some fused glass snaps, pendants, magnets, etc. I just love them so very much. |
Fused glass pocket crosses. One of the things you may not know pocket crosses is you can also make them into magnets, pendants, or leave them as pocket crosses. |
Y'all know I love little dishes, here are some pictures of some of my little dishes. |
I love photo stands, I make them all the time. Here are just a few pictures I found. |
One of my very favorite things to make is plant stakes, here are just a few of my fused glass plant stakes. |
Yep another one of my favorite things to make is my fused glass stirrers. |
I also recently made some Christmas trees. So many ways to make fused glass Christmas trees. |
