While I was in Murano looking at all the glass it reminded me of all the glass I’ve bought from all the other places I’ve been. One of the first places I’ve ever seen glass blowing was in Sweden the first time I was stationed in Germany back in 1990. […]
While I was on Murano (See the DYK) I decided to go to the island of Burano. It’s a small island only about 30 minutes away from Murano with very colorful houses. It started as a fishing village and has a museum of lace! Even though Burano is known for […]
As I talked about in my DYK, I took a trip to Murano Italy. I loved it. Even though I make fused glass I still bought quite a bit of glass while I was in Murano. First I bought some things for Madi, of course she’s not into jewelry so […]
For those who follow me know I travel a lot with my job. This month I went to Germany. It was a busy trip, but I did get to have a little bit of fun so I thought I’d write a blog about it. When I’m on my trips […]
Before I left for my business trip I had a special custom order a pair of fused glass earrings. I’ve used the fused glass bubble technique before but I had never made a pair of earrings with the technique. I did finish them before I sent them, I just didn’t […]
When I go on a trip I always try to do something glass related. If there isn’t any glass related activity close by typically bring things with me to finish. Did I mention I have a bad habit of starting fused glass projects and not finishing them? One of the […]
I promised to keep ya’ll informed regarding my progress on my big order for the hotel in Florida. As I’ll discuss later in June’s newsletter I had a business trip to Germany which would have put me severely behind in my progress. So I decided to teach my husband […]
I love essential oils so I thought I’d make a few more fused glass essential oil pieces. For anyone who follows me you know, my believe is everything looks better with glass. So I added glass to essential oil pieces. I made a couple of essential oil pendants with fused […]
In addition to the Alcohol Ink class with Cathy I also got to take Hidden Images 3-D with Cathy Claycomb. Like the first class this class wasn’t a fused glass class either. Again we used Kokomo glass, it’s so pretty, I wish it could be fused without losing it’s beauty. […]
This month I got to take a great class with Cathy Claycomb. It wasn’t a fused glass class. It was completely different. Plus the glass we used was beautiful. I’ve never really used it before, Kokomo glass and it’s not meant to be fused, but it’s so pretty it doesn’t […]
As I mentioned in my April Newsletter, I’ve been working on a 400 plate order for a fabulous hotel and Restaurant in Florida. Well I shipped my first portion of the order. I can not tell you how nervous I was. This is one of the toughest custom orders I’ve […]
Normally I sell my fused glass arts and craft shows during the year. About 7 total through out the year however, I also have different sites including Etsy , Artfire and of course my website. I must admit I’m horrible about updating my websites because when I’m home I want […]
For those who follow my Fused Glass newsletter know I have an amazing family and on this Mother’s day I’m even more thankful for my amazing family. Obviously my son, David who works for Pixar and has won several awards. David did these back when he was 16 years old. […]
I love glass and I love figuring out different ways to use my fused glass. I’ve been learning a bit about resin and I wanted to see how it works with fused glass. Plus, since my kilns are full with my new fused glass production order I thought it would […]
