I just finished another production order for a fabulous Aspen Restaurant. Normally when I do an order for him he gives me the approximate size and I do a few tests. He wanted blue so I did a transparent and a opal. This piece is an amazing mold but it’s […]
First I want to thank my fantastic friends, I just don’t know what I would have done without you. Thank you Lela and Iris, you are the best friends I could ever ask for. Second, to all my amazing customers who came out to my booth at Rockledge Ranch I […]
As you know I wasn’t able to go to my Rockledge Ranch show this month because I was on a business trip. So where was I? That’s right I was in Alabama again. I was working 10-13 hr days and didn’t get much time off but I did go to […]
As you know, I do a drawing for those who sign up for my Fused Glass newsletter during each of my shows, including the Rockledge Ranch. Even though I wasn’t at Rockledge Ranch Friday and Saturday I still had my drawing. The winner of the fused glass drawing at Rockledge […]

As I mentioned in my DYK below I recently went to Prague in the Czech Republic. I also wrote about my trip to Ruckl Glass Factory in Nizbor (close to Prague). Anyway I wanted to share with you some of the things I bought while I was in Prague. Below […]
The day before I left Prague I went to heaven or Ruckl glass factory (same thing for a glass artist). Now I’ve seen blown glass all over the world including Murano, Corning in New York, the Black Forest in Germany, and even in Finland in my 20’s. I even blew […]
My fourth and final Woodland Park Blog. I know I’ve been talking a lot about my Woodland Park show and it’s because it was a wonderful show. First, I want to thank my customers. Thank you for your support and for loving my glass like I do. I must have […]
I’ve written blogs about my “Buddhas” a couple of times: March 2019 and Nov 2017. I love them but they do take a bit of work. I made a few new ones for my 2019 season. I make 3 versions, the full version on the left, the partial in the […]
When I am at a craft fair I always walk around and buy something from a fellow artist. I do this for a couple of reasons; 1st I love all kinds of art, 2nd I like to practice what I preach – buy art from real artist not mass produced, […]

When I got home from Breckenridge I decided I’d make some flower Lanterns. I actually made 4 but I messed up on the size of glass for 2 of them so I’ll have to finish them some other time. Meanwhile the first one is a small black lantern with 6 […]
On our way home from Breckenridge, we stopped by the “Ghost town” of St Elmo. It was a very cool place, but I’m not sure if I would call it a ghost town. Plus the disappointing thing is they there were cars parked downtown, there wasn’t other places to park […]
While I was in Breckenridge I discovered they have what’s called Breck create. It’s right on Main Street and as we were walking around town I saw they had classes including a flameworking class. It was called pendants inspired by nature. I signed up (very reasonably priced). When I showed […]
