I love molds. There are different types of molds including casting molds. A casting mold used to make dimensional pieces in various shapes. This month I thought I’d show off some of my new molds. There is a variety but mainly artwork, some small and some large. Here are some […]
Last month I wrote about my amazing fused glass butterflies. Laurie Spray created the butterfly tutorial but also the a dragonfly tutorial. In preparation for this post I read a little about dragonflies. Did you know (according to Wikipedia) dragonflies are insects and have two pairs of strong, transparent wings, […]
I had new commercial order this month. The clear and white soap dishes are a bit of a challenge to make because I had to cut six pieces for each dish. I so appreciate my commercial orders. It’s always a challenge to make multiples of fused glass artwork. The reason […]
I love learning. Recently my friend Lela and I took a wood and macrame class at AR workshop. It was my first time at one of these shops. We really had a great time. Lots of options. Of course the only thing I didn’t care for was Lela and I […]
This month I took a Mandala Glass Dotting class. I’ve seen dotting on rocks and wanted to see how dotting would work on Glass. Painting with dots (I just call it dotting) it’s also known as pointillism and is basically making dots of different sizes with paint. Recently the types […]

Recently my husband and I have been trying to take trips more often. Mainly our trips are in Colorado, (other than Westcliffe). We’ve driven by Glenwood Springs a dozen times over the years but never really stopped, so this month we stayed there. There are a couple of ways to […]
Recently I received an email from Laura regarding making a fused glass pendant with her dad’s ashes inside. It’s always such an honor to make custom memory pieces. I always take care and show reverence for each piece I make. Laura and I have collaborated every step of the way. […]
On the 4th of July, my husband and I drove down to Westcliffe, CO. We just really love Westcliffe. When I go there I don’t worry, I’m really just in the moment. It’s funny because we don’t do anything big, but being in Westcliffe brings us joy. The drive is […]
I’m not sure what to call this new fused glass technique. I learned it from an e-book, her focus was on making hearts which is the first pieces I made. Aren’t they interesting? I really love the process, it’s pretty time consuming but I love the different techniques that go […]
I don’t know about you but I love frosted glass like sea glass. After watching a class with Jodi a year or two ago I bought a rock tumbler. I never used it until the past couple of months then I went nuts! Jodi was right a tumbler is amazing!! […]
