I’ve shared several posts about donating my fused glass pieces to a truly special organization in Westcliffe called Mission: Wolf. They’re dedicated to rescuing and caring for wolves and wolf-dogs, and it’s an honor to support their mission in any way I can. Here are some of the fused glass and screen-printed ornaments I’ve recently donated for them to sell—each one made with love to help further their incredible work.
I know I’ve shared these pictures before, but they’re worth showing again. Last July, we had the chance to visit Mission: Wolf in person to deliver the donations. It was an experience I’ll never forget—especially meeting Rosie, the beautiful white wolf, and Zeab, the striking grey one. Being so close to these majestic animals was truly humbling. They are absolutely stunning, and the connection you feel in their presence is something words can hardly capture.
Recently, Mission: Wolf asked if I could make a few more fused glass pieces for their gift shop—and of course, I didn’t hesitate. I created a new batch of magnets and pendants, each featuring beautiful wolf decals. Here are some of the pendants I made for them. A few even include moons made from mica and glow-in-the-dark paint, which add such a magical touch! I’m really proud of how these turned out. Some are drilled for a sleek, minimalist finish, while others have bails attached for a classic pendant look. Each one is a little tribute to the incredible creatures that call Mission: Wolf home.
In addition to the wolf designs, I also created a few pieces featuring other beautiful wildlife. These include deer, elk, and bear pendants, each one inspired by the spirit of the wilderness that Mission: Wolf helps protect. I love how the silhouettes stand out against the colorful backgrounds—every piece feels like a tiny tribute to the natural world and the animals that call it home.
I also made a few fused glass magnets to round out the collection—including a large wolf, an elk, and an American eagle. Each one was created with the same care and intention as the pendants. Hopefully, they’ll enjoy these pieces just as much and find them helpful in supporting their incredible mission.
Lastly, I made a few more fun pieces—magnets with bear paws and pendants featuring wolf paw prints. They’re a playful addition to the collection, and I think they turned out great. Hopefully, they’ll bring a smile to visitors and help spark even more support for the incredible work Mission: Wolf does every day.
If you ever get the chance to visit Mission: Wolf, I hope you’ll look for my fused glass pieces in their gift shop. Each one is handmade with love—both to help you remember your visit and to support the incredible work this sanctuary does. Here are a couple of photos from my most recent drop-off—it’s such a beautiful and peaceful place. As I mentioned in a previous post, Mission: Wolf is run entirely by volunteers and funded through donations. I truly encourage you to support them in any way you can. I know I’ll continue to do so, one glass piece at a time.
It brings me so much joy to use my art in a way that gives back. Whether it’s a wolf howling at the moon or a tiny paw print pendant, each piece is created with heart and purpose. Mission: Wolf is more than just a sanctuary—it’s a place of healing, connection, and respect for these magnificent animals. I’m honored to support their mission and grateful for the opportunity to contribute. If you’re ever in Westcliffe, I hope you’ll stop by, say hello to the wolves, and maybe take home a little fused glass piece as a reminder of your visit and the lives you’re helping to protect.
