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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. I put flowers on one side of the paw. I like that they are 2 […]
I’ve spoken about my fabulous commercial businesses that support my small, fused glass business. One of my favorite small businesses that supports my glass business is here in Colorado. Below are just a few of the custom pieces I’ve made for them. Quite the variety! On our way back from […]
Back in March one of my customers asked me if I could teach her how to pull vitrigraph. I love making vitrigraph so I had no problem teaching a basic vitrigraph class. The main reason is people are a bit scared to touch molten glass – I don’t understand why […]
During my visit with my sister earlier this year, she talked about her little house on a Florida river. Laurie has always liked fishing, so we talked about making her a fish related gift. Here are the pieces I made for my beautiful sister. I made enough fused glass fish […]
I held another fused glass class in July, this time it was for plant stakes and magnets. Julie and her family have taken several classes with me, they are all so creative. Here are the liability forms and their fused glass stirrers (their free gift). I also gave them an […]
I scheduled a Fused Glass Ornament Class this month and 3 of my students came for the class. The question is did they make ornaments? Yes and no – 1 person made ornaments the other two students chose another project. It didn’t really bother me because they have all taken […]
One of my favorite things to say about fused glass is “everything looks better with glass”. I’ve added fused glass dots to spoons, boxes, knives, and so much more. Here are just a few examples. This time I added fused glass to tiny bottles. Aren’t they so cute. They can […]
I love creating fused glass. I also enjoy donating my fused glass to worthy causes. My friend Cathy told me about Inside Out Youth Services for LGBTQ+ youth 13-24. I have many gay and lesbian friends and you may not know it, my daughter is part of the LGBTQ+ community. […]
Last month I had an order for 80 fused glass black dishes for a hotel/restaurant. You won’t believe it but I received another order for 50 fused glass black dishes, but from another hotel in a different state. Here they are in the kiln for a full fuse, fused, washed, […]
I’ve mentioned Gary from the www.bigredbarnoriginal.com, a few times. He is a wonderful artist. I’ve bought numerous pieces from him. I commissioned him to create a picture of my view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. I’ve showed you the painting Gary created for me, it is a mixed media […]
