I love taking fused glass classes from amazing teachers like Bob Leatherbarrow, Tanya Viet, Amanda Taylor, etc. I love learning their techniques and meeting other glass artists that love fused glass as much as I do. Another thing I like doing is buying their fused glass artwork. This piece is […]
I just made some pretty cool fused glass bowls. Most of the time I make bowls full of color, but these fused glass bowls are clear. I also fused them over a spiral textured mold so they have beautiful bottoms. This fused glass dish is only 5″ across and a […]
Last month I showed two different types of lanterns with my fused glass. Here is another type of lanterns with 4 panels of glass. This one I put 1 powder print (flames, 2 clear textured, and a orange / red. Obviously I can make panels with decals, custom, colored art […]
I have some amazing customers that like to present me with challenges. At first both Ann and Melanie would ask me to change one of my normal pendants into a snap. Which was fun because it makes me look at my fused glass pendants in a new way. But recently […]

I did it, I screen printed the serenity prayer on fused glass. It took me forever but Isn’t she beautiful. The first one didn’t turn out because white isn’t strong enough to stand up to the background. I wish it was because the white against the aventurine blue was beautiful. With this […]
Last week I showed you a lantern with several tiny fused glass panels. This week I thought I’d show you a bigger lantern with larger fused glass panels. This one I put some dolphin fused glass pieces and then I put some confetti glass in. Glass likes to shrink when […]

In October I took a pretty cool class at D&L called Glaskolbens. A Glaskolben is a tube of glass that you put frit in and then heat it and then blow into Christmas ornaments – basically round shapes! We used a tank and it’s a little like flameworking just less […]
I just took a great class with Shelley Long. This was my 2nd painting on glass class with Shelley. She is a fabulous teacher. I also really enjoyed the other ladies in my class. Wonderful and talented women. The technique that Shelley taught us this time was several layers of […]
My fused glass mantle sconces are very popular so I thought I’d make some that are a little simpler and smaller. They are both made with special textured glass. I also sandblasted the back of each candle shield. They come with a small candle and light up any space! The […]
This weekend I had a show at the Ft Carson Army Base. Yes I’m Air Force but all of the military is kind of family. It was a small event, albeit I had some great customers come by. I love meeting new customers but I really love it when my […]
