Last week I was able to travel to Washington DC for work. I love to travel whether for personal reasons or for work. I didn’t have a lot of free time, but I did take the time to see Mount Vernon and of course some of the monuments. I’ve been […]
I love flowers. In fact, last year when we drove over Grand Mesa, I must have made my husband stop 1000 times so I could take pictures of the flowers. When we went to Westcliffe last spring, I literally must have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers. And of course, […]
One of the most difficult things for me is deciding how to display my fused glass artwork. A few months ago, I had Tracy laser jet cut a hummingbird for me, but the wing broke off. The problem was it was so pretty I didn’t want to throw it away, […]
I love unicorns and I’ve had these molds for quite a while. The unicorn is casted, then I slumped it on a mold that allows it to stand. Then I added gold. There are several steps to create this piece, but I think it’s pretty cute. I made the deer […]
One of my friends and customers asked me to make her a fused glass snowflake on iridized. I think it’s beautiful and she seems happy with it. We kept it flat and put it in a stand. However, if she changes her mind, we can slump it into a bowl […]
During one of my craft shows I met this amazing artist named Merle, she created the most amazing gourds. I wrote about her and the gourd I traded for in November. During the visit she asked me if I could give her some glass cabochons so she could include them […]
We went to Westcliffe in January and February. We had such a wonderful time on both trips. In January we went looking for Elk along the Sangre de Cristo mountains and up in the wet mountains. We spent all day driving around looking at the beauty that is the Wet […]

I love making fused glass magnets. I’ve made them in various shapes and sizes. Here are some of my new ones. I like the little fish and of course the flowers are fun. I like the pressed magnets; I use them in so many ways. I also like to add […]
I have 4 kilns, 3 of them have relays that have to be changed out regularly. My little kiln needs it the most often – lucky for us it’s the easiest and only takes one. I make these posts for two reasons, 1st as a reminder fusing glass isn’t all […]
I have made many friends in the glass community. Most of my friends are outside Colorado. But here in Colorado Springs, I have fused glass, mosaic and stained glass friends. Of course I talk about Tracy all the time she is a fuser, stained glass artist and she makes amazing […]
One of my favorite fused glass products to make is small dishes. I like to make them because they are fun, easy, and so very versatile. They can be used as trinket dishes, soap dishes, tea caddies, spoon rests, candle holders, and so much more. These four are beautiful I […]
This month I finished a beautiful custom commercial order of 25 big fused glass blue bowls. It’s a wonderful restaurant in Aspen Colorado. It’s quite large an a wonderful organic shape. I truly appreciate their support. I stopped by the restaurant and hotel on my way back from Delta Colorado. […]
I have several friends that are LGBTQ and I’ve been wanting to show my support by making Fused Glasse rainbows for quite some time. I’ve made various different rainbows, the first set is fused glass pendants. As you can see there are several types. I like them all for different […]
