For those of you who follow my newsletter you know I’ve taken a couple mosaic classes from a local mosaic glass instructor (below). I just finished another mosaic class and this time the glass is on a rock. Which I think is awesome. I think […]
It’s interesting I normally do 3 or 4 commercial orders a year, but this year I’ve had 4 within the first 6 months. I have a new fused glass commercial order for 200 soap dishes. I’ve made these before and I like them, They are perfect, plus soap dishes are […]
Guess what happens when you get cocky with creating fused glass? That’s right it breaks. I’ve made over 100 of my big production plates. But in my last few slump firings 2 of my plates broke. The first one actually took a small bowl with it. If you know about […]
The Mountain Arts Festival is coming up, August 4-5 and I will be having a booth to show off my beautiful Fused Glass Artwork. I thought I’d show some of my fused glass. Fused glass Essential Oil pendants and car fresheners. Fused Glass bookmarks and […]
Over the last few months I’ve made a myriad of sets (over 50) of Fused Glass Earrings, so for my first show 4-5 August (Mountain Arts Festival, in Woodland Park), when you buy two sets of earrings you get 1 set free (of equal or lesser value). My fused glass […]
In my last blog I talked about all the glass I purchased over the years. As I was walking around my house I also other glass I bought made. I have quite a bit so I may have to break it down into different categories. First, functional pieces. First in […]
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 […]
