I enjoy making fused glass stirrers and flower stakes. A friend of mine asked me to make her a few so I made her the five below and then made several. It’s funny how some of the bulbs on the bottom round out nice and others stay square. It doesn’t […]
I created something new this month and I think they are fun and beautiful. A friend of mine wanted a fused glass sign, but since it was only for a temporary purpose, I decided not to do a screen print but to make it erasable. I created two lovely, fused […]
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so I’ve been making a lot of Fused Glass Hearts, this month. I’ve used different techniques to create my heart, this first group are quite large and are casted. They are a bit big for pendants but make great pocket hearts. The next technique is a […]
I love creating fused glass, but as I’ve mention I don’t always finish my pieces. I love creating little panels for night lights. It took me a while, but I finally finished the ones below. I think they turned out great with all the vitrigraph, millefiori, and murrine. I also […]
Anytime I have space in my kiln I fire fused glass stirrers or flower stakes. I think they are fun to make and pretty easy as well. First you may ask, they look so similar what’s the difference. The main difference is with stirrers you don’t want the top decoration […]
Recently one of my customers asked me if I could make fused glass stars. Normally when I make fused glass stars, I make them this way. However, for Sharon, she wanted them a little different. I made a few variations. She picked two different sizes – 12 all together. I’m […]
I made some more fused glass flower magnets. I find these flower magnets beautiful and special. I like giving them as gifts to people who are sick, or if they’ve lost someone. They bring light and beauty anywhere you put them. I’ve added various murrine and millefiori. I hope you […]
My good friend Tracy owner of Little Llama Studios will be adding findings to her site soon. While I was at her shop the other day she showed me so many wonderful findings; some were for fusers and others more for beaders. I helped her organize some of her chains. […]
I’ve written several posts about my custom decals and how I love making ones of my beautiful granddaughter. I typically put magnets on the back of the glass and then put them on my refrigerator or anywhere that’s metal. I made a clock when she was born and change out […]
Since Father’s day is only a month a way I thought I’d do post on a possible gift for a dad or husband. A co-worker asked me if I could make a custom fused glass tie tack and cuff links for a friend of his. He asked for blue with […]
I love making fused glass pocket hearts and crosses. Since it’s Mother’s day next month I thought I’d make some more crosses and hearts. I love giving them away as gifts (see my mother’s day post). Here are a few of the hearts I made. All of the hearts below […]
In February’s Newsletter’s DYK I showed 2 new Fused Glass Letter Openers. I liked them so much I decided to make a few more. Below is a picture of the fused glass letter openers I made in February. Here are the new fused glass letter openers I finished this month. […]
While I was making the scenic pendants I fell in love with the “part sheets” I decided to use some of them as bases for fused glass flower pendants, magnets, etc. I’ve made them before and I love them so much it’s difficult not to make more of them. Here […]
This year I made some fused glass Christmas cards. The first one was a gift for a girlfriends mom, it’s a magnet. The middle one is for my mom, it’s an ornament. I also made 1 more magnet card for my good friend Lela. This isn’t the first time I […]
