Would you like to make a Fused Glass Forever Flower for the special woman in your life for Mother’s Day? On April 22nd 12:00 – 14:00 p.m. I’m teaching a Fused Glass Class to create a gift for Mother’s Day – Fused Glass Forever Flower magnets. The class is 2 […]
*I screwed up – sometimes when I have a similar post I duplicate it and use it as a base. I wrote a post about the beauty of Westcliffe but instead of duplicating it I “updated it”. Which means this post overwrote by beauty of Westcliffe from April. So, it […]
I received another order for fused glass caviar dishes for a small restaurant in Colorado. I’ve made these before and they are a bit complicated. I used a grinder and saw in addition to hand cutting the pieces. I also hand cut the mold to slump the glass into. It […]
With Mother’s Day coming up I thought I’d make some Fused Glass Flowers for Mother’s Day. There are so many options for these flowers. First are small pieces that can be magnets or pendants. I also made some bigger ones the first row has a clear base. The second row […]
I love creating fused glass dishes, whether for art or as functional pieces. I just finished slumping several new dishes. Here are just a few of them. There are myriad of techniques and they are in various sizes. This first set is pieces of clear and blue fused together then […]
I’ve been making a lot of fused glass stirrers and flower stakes lately. I normally keep them in a bottle vase, but I’ve made so many I’ve ran out of bottle vases, so I’ve decided to make some bottle glass vases more. These first two bottles have texture so I […]
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 […]
A couple of months ago I finished up some of my fused glass drop vases. Here are the pictures of them and the majority of them turned out beautifully. However, there were a couple that didn’t turn out well. The first picture shows how I separated it, the how uneven […]
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 […]
Last month I wrote about some of the fused glass pieces (below are just some of the dishes) I made with Wissmach Prisma Glass, Reactive Blue Oster Pearl and Oster Pearl Reactive Blue. Such a beautiful glass. I loved this glass so much I decided to make pebbles and squares […]
I’ve written about my fused glass drop vases a few times. This post is about the part of the vase I cut off, I call them the Fused Glass “holes”. Most fused glass artists make the rims out of clear and just toss them but I make the entire piece […]
A few months ago I made some coasters and trivets. I decided to make a few more coasters. I hand screen printed them. Which is your favorite coaster? I also made a few rectangle trivets. I like the round ones but two of these protect the table better. I also […]
I love making fused glass dishes. I finished some small, fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dish below is made with a pattern bar. It’s perfect for rings or a small candle or just as a pretty little dish. This tiny 3-inch dish is a mix of iridized glass […]
In December I made fused glass pot-melts with my good friend Tracy. I enjoyed making them so much I made some more. Here they are in the kiln, I used a similar setup that Tracy and I used. Here they are, after fusing. I like seeing the pots with the […]
