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 […]
So this weekend was my last show of the season. I enjoy seeing my old friends and making new ones. I want to congratulate M. Ward she won our drawing for $25 free fused glass. You can look through my sites www.elegantfusedglass.com, my Etsy store, or my artfire store. If […]
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 […]
I have been working on something I think is really really cool. I am taking lanterns and changing out the old boring glass for Beautiful Art Glass! I have 3 types of lanterns. The first one that I have been working on is a 6 sided lantern. To see if […]
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 […]
I’m getting ready for my 4 up coming art shows and for my store in Denver. One of the fused glass Items I’m working on is my night lights. You can see I have a whole little forest of fused glass night lights. Every color and combination of trees. […]
Last year I took a class in New York and blogged about it. I didn’t finish one of my fused glass bowls. I finally finished it and thought I’d post the final picture. When I left class I left it as a shallow dish. But the next step would make […]
I love making fused glass jewelry, night lights, and other functional fused glass pieces. However, I also love making fused glass art pieces as well. Art is basically something that is beautiful but doesn’t necessarily have a functional use other than esthetics. Sometimes when I create a fused glass piece […]
I love fused glass one of the fun ways to actually create unique glass is to create confetti glass. I put clear and colored glass, along with stringer, frit, etc. in a shape and fire it until it’s fully fused. I love confetti glass because it’s truly one of a […]
There are so many ways to create fused glass bowls. A new way I recently learned is called slurry’s because you create it using wet glass powder. I also added frit and vitrigraph. It’s great because you can add various colors and make various designs. These are 4 that I […]
