I love adding glass to various things, essential oil holders, nail files, spoons, and anything else I can think of. I had two ceramic rice bowls I got while I was in Japan and thought they’d look even better with glass on top. What do you think? I also got […]
I love creating glass artwork that other artists can use in their art. I received an email a while back from Rebecca. She asked me for a fused glass donut. I made her two. I think they turned out great because I created the mold to meet her needs. Below […]
Just keeping you up today with my foray into cooking. I took my first class alone this month, crepes. I met a wonderful lady and we had a good time. We made both sweet and savory crepes the French way and it’s not as easy as you’d think. Hers were […]

I just finished 3 fused glass flowers. These are not my fancy flowers, like I learned from Laurie Spray but more simple flowers. This is me and my fancy flower. Here are my new fused glass flowers. I’ve put hangers on the back so they are perfect wall art. Here […]
During one of my shows a great customer of mine bought one of my favorite bowls. It was a red screen melt bowl. It was hug, thick, and beautiful. Here is a picture of me and Carla with it. Literally the next day she told me it broke. We didn’t […]
My good friend Lela asked me if she could put my some of my fused glass in her Bed and Breakfast. What an honor, her bed and breakfast is beautiful and I love seeing my fused glass in such a beautiful place. Here are a few of the rooms with […]
I blogged about a Fused Glass class that I took with Laurie Spray in Sept last month. After reading my blog one of my customers told me I should make some more to actually sell, so I made 3. I think they are fantastic!! The cool thing about the flowers, […]
In my last blog I wrote about my good friend Iris leaving Colorado Springs. Well we spent the day together in Manitou Springs last week. What a blast we had. It was a beautiful day (close to 70 degrees – yes in February) in Colorado! Manitou Springs is a small […]

This month my new mold is my oval dam mold and then an oval shelf ring mold. As I was going through my glass I found some blue glass and I thought it would be perfect for this mold. I think they turned out really well, I love the transparent. […]
I had another business trip to Rhode Island this January. I really enjoy Newport and the Naval War College is so fascinating. Of course I worked 10-12 hr shifts so I didn’t have anytime to write my newsletter or anything glass related. In fact I took these 2 pictures on […]
I mentioned in an earlier blog that I am cleaning up my studio. One of the things I had a lot of was glass that I never finished including frit. So I made a several fused glass pendants. These are casted pieces. I had an entire jar of blues and […]
