As my followers know I’m retired Air Force and left my home town in my early twenties. I went home once around 20 years ago, albeit I haven’t been home since. *BTW this is a little glass related, I gave all of them some glass pieces and if you look […]
I’ve mentioned my good friend Tracy several times, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Tracy made a beautiful fused glass charcuterie board and I asked her to cut me a couple out with her water-jet cutter. Normally I don’t post process pictures, but since it’s just […]
As I mentioned Sky just graduated UCCS, Magna Cum Laude in English and Philosophy. We are so very proud of her! She didn’t have an actual graduation because of COVID, but we did take a few pictures with her diploma! This month Sky went off to Law School. She has […]
I love making fused glass and I make various pieces when there is room in my kilns. I thought I’d show you some of the pieces I’ve made recently but don’t really fit in with other of my posts. Here are two photo stands that I made custom. Below are […]
We went to Breckenridge again recently. We’ve been going there for over 10 years, however it’s getting so busy it’s not as fun for us as it used to be. That being said we had a good time. We went in the hot tub every night. One day we went […]
I’ve mentioned Tracy before and I asked her to cut me out some Colorado symbols. I makes it so much easier having her cut them than me with a tile saw. Anyway, here are a couple of them that I made into ornaments. One has a blue background, one has […]
I had a fun order recently for fused glass textured dishes. I love adding texture to dishes it makes clear much more interesting and fun. They wanted 4 rectangle and 4 round clear dishes with a spiral texture. Aren’t they awesome? I love the champagne bubbles. I also 4 blue […]
Recently I saw an article about uranium glass that glows under florescent light. I found it fascinating and I read up on it; here is some of the info I learned. Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix before […]
I’ve mentioned several times about commercial or production fused glass orders that I make for either hotels or restaurants. Over the last few months I’ve had several repeat orders. Here are a few. This one was for a hotel in California – soap dishes. Her free gift was also a […]
One of my customers asked me if I could make a custom fused glass feather pendant to match a jacket (left picture), I said yes of course. I use a casting mold to make my feather pendants (right picture). I used COE 90 glass for one and COE 96 glass […]
I’ve written about Tulip’s in Denver several times. I’m very lucky that they have some of my fused glass in their shop. It’s changed hands a few times and the new owners came by to checkout my studio and to drop off some pieces and to pick up new pieces. […]
We went to Westcliffe again this month. I love summer in Westcliffe. The pictures below are all from the Bluff. Such pretty flowers. I may need to try to make the red and blue ones in glass. When we’re in Westcliffe we do a lot of driving, as we drive […]
Sky and I made candles recently so we decided to make some bath bombs as well. Here are some of the supplies and some of our finished pieces. It was fun but it’s also pretty messy! I just wish I had more citric acid so we could make more. Of […]
I’ve always loved honey bees, so I made some fused glass honey bees. They are perfect for so many things. Here are some of my fused glass bees. Some bees are on stems and two are on magnets. Now how to display them. Well they are small and can go […]
