We love going to see Dan’s family in Delta Colorado. Now that we have Westcliffe we stayed the night in Westcliffe then drove over the mountains through Gunnison. Here are a couple pictures of Westcliffe and the reservoir near Gunnison. Sadly Ryan and Jaymie wasn’t there, but we had a […]
This month I had a Fused Glass Ornament Class. As always I have my liability forms out as well as free gifts for the students. They had the choice of Fused Glass Ghost plant stakes or Halloween Pendants. As as always I have supplies out for the students including dots, […]
I love creating fused glass hearts, whether they are hand cut or casted. I saw a post on one of my fused glass Facebook groups where a Fused Glass Artist in North Carolina was asking for fused glass heart donations. I was stationed in South Carolina and loved going to […]
I love using Murrini in my fused glass art work. Most is 96 COE or 90 COE. Here are just a couple of recent examples. Murrini doesn’t just come in 90 & 96 COE, it also comes in 104 COE. In case you didn’t know the higher the COE the […]
There is a saying in fused glass “never refuse to refuse”, I’m a firm believer in that concept. When I first started fusing I got to the point where my pendants were 2 – 3 inches, which is a bit too large for some people. So I looked through some […]
One of my favorite Jewelry items to create is my fused glass snaps. Here are some of my medium snaps I’ve made recently. I also made some fused glass small snaps. Making the small fused glass snaps is very difficult. They have to fit into the bezel and that’s a […]
I’ve always struggled with making fused glass earrings because it’s difficult to get fused glass pieces similar enough in size and appearance to be earrings. I just finished a few posts, dangles, and even a few sets. Here are some of the handmade fused glass dangle earrings I made. If […]

So I spent the entire month of August in Korea, I worked a lot so I didn’t do much. I do love my hotel though. I also went to the chiropractor, pedicure, and massage. Self care is so very important. I must tell you the chiropractor did a fabulous job. […]
I love Murrine and Millefiori. In fact I buy it all the time from several different artists. Murrine is little pieces of glass that are cross-sections of cane that reveal images. According to Wikipedia, murrine “first appeared in the Middle East more than 4,000 years ago and was revived by Venetian […]
I love these little fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dishes are perfect for rings, tea bags, spoons, a small candle, or just as a pretty little dish. I went a bit crazy and made several, whether they are 3 pieces put together like the first picture or 2 […]
Several months ago, I made a few fused glass dishes for the house in Westcliffe. I made beautiful amber, blue, and green rectangular dishes perfect for dinner and breakfast. The key is not to put them in the microwave. I love my fused glass dishes, however I didn’t make enough. […]
One of my goals this year is to use some of my glass and murine. So this post is about 6 fused glass small decorative bowls I just finished. These are not food safe, they are home decor. The first two fused glass bowls are made with pinks and purple […]
