I pull vitrigraph and cane pretty regularly, but I’m not an expert at creating fancy cane / murrine. So, when one of my good friends was selling cane, I decided to buy some of her COE 96 cane. They remind me of the old fashion stick candy, so colorful. It’s […]
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 […]
One of my favorite things to create is fused glass jewelry. I finished quite a few pieces recently and wanted to show them off. The pieces below are all pressed glass. Glass wants to be 6mm thick, but when you press it, it’s very thin yet durable. In the picture […]

I have had many fused glass instructors over the years and Tanya Veit from AAE Glass is one of my favorites. The first class I took from her when she was still doing traveling classes, It was mind blowing! I’ve taken numerous classes in her studio in Florida and watched […]
I’ve wanted to write this post for a long time. The frit is from a fellow artist named Val Cox. It’s extremely bright and colorful and so fun to use. The first thing I like to do is to make test sheets. Here are two of my test examples. It […]
I’ve written several posts on pressing glass, it’s such a fun technique. I’ve also written about silk screening. Well for this post I combined silk screening with pressed pendants. They are so thin, aren’t they awesome. I have some more pressed pieces that I need to decide what to do […]
