I’ve posted about my fused glass textured pieces before. I just love textured glass. These are my Suns’ The first one is the sun and the moon in iridized amber. It’s huge. Matter of fact, I didn’t think I had a stand that would hold it, but this stand is […]
I thought I’d post some pictures from my latest business trip to Rhode Island. I’m sure you will wonder why what does it have to do with glass? Well I’ll tell you, we stayed at the Marriott in Newport, Rhode Island and as soon as I walked in there was […]

As I was preparing for my DYK in my December’s Newsletter, I came across a few other fused glass pieces that I just wasn’t completely happy with and decided I’d re-slump them. I made this beautiful leaf a few months ago, but when I slumped it I didn’t care for […]
