I love boxes. I have boxes of every shape and material from all over the world. Most of which I got when I was stationed overseas years ago from Germany, Poland, Czech, etc. In fact, the round one I got from Greece when I was in my 20’s. BTW these […]
I like to do posts anytime I change the kiln’s relay. First because it helps me track how often I do change them. Second reason is because it shows you that it’s not all fun and games. I have 5 kilns, but I use my baby kiln the most, so […]
Waterjet glass cut-outs are awesome, and I’ve used them in several fused glass projects. Here are just a few projects with waterjet cut-outs that I got from my good friend Tracy. Aren’t they fabulous, BTW I love my bears. When Tracy makes the cut-outs, she has lots of outlines leftover, […]
In case you didn’t know this month was sunflower season in Colorado and they were everywhere, they are on the side of the road, in the medium and in the fields, fields and fields of sunflowers. Here are just a few, yep you guessed it, in Westcliffe. I can’t see […]
One of my goals this year is to use some of my pretty glass and molds that I’ve never used before. So, this post is about 4 fused glass pieces I just finished. This first one is a special mold, it’s called hi / low, it’s low on one side […]
Recently I was able to go to the Farmer’s Market in Westcliffe. I like buying from local people. I love going and meeting the wonderful participants at the little market. Last time I met the owners of a Lavendar farm. This visit was very special, I met Ginny from Sak […]
I love making fused glass for commercial companies. One of my most loyal customers is a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for them for quite some time. I just finished another order for her. Here they are start to finish; in the kiln for a full […]
Recently I visited the Sangre De Cristo 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe. My good Friend Gina had two paintings in the show (top row). Gina and I have been friends since around 2006. She gave me one of her paintings a while back (bottom row). She’s also one of the […]
I have my first Art show of the year on 12th -13th August in Woodland Park. However, as I mentioned in my newsletter it may or may not be me. I hope I do get to participate. I’m excited, I love seeing my friends and longtime customers. As any of […]
A dear friend of mine and fellow artist asked me to make some little dishes for a tea shop. We haven’t had a chance to go yet, albeit I do want to show you the pieces I made and see what you think. Here are some of the fused glass […]
First, I have to show you a few pictures of some visitors we had at our Westcliffe property. Several of our wonderful Westcliffe neighbors told us about bears in the neighborhood. So, we went for a visit and guess what our trail camera caught. Luckily, we don’t have any food […]
Earlier this month I did a post about the glass pieces that I made and gave to Mission Wolf. As you can see by the below it is a wonderful organization. I encourage you to visit the sanctuary (Saturday or Tuesdays). My husband, my best friend, her husband, and I […]
I love the look of fused glass with mirrors. Here are a few of the home decor mirrors I’ve made. Some are glass and mirror alone, some are a mix of mirror, glass, and wood (including mosaic pieces). I’ve also made a few fused glass handheld mirrors. Here are the […]
Last month I made a sign for my good friend (pictured below) and I liked it so much I thought I’d make a new sign with glass and wood. I made these Kanji (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) fused glass pieces a while back, but I decided they’d look better […]
