Instead of calling them resolutions, I’m calling them goals. I look forward to reaching my 2016 goals for my fused glass. 2015 was a wonderful year for me professionally. I started a new job that I enjoy and I work with great people. I also was able to create […]
During my last Craft show after seeing my aspen night lights, I was asked by one of my customers if I could make a sunflower night light. So for December’s fresh from the kiln I thought I’d make a couple. I’ve always […]
I just finished reading Bob Leatherbarrow’s fused glass e-book Introduction to kilnformed glass powders. First if you follow my blogs and newsletters, you know I took a class from Bob in May 2015 regarding this very topic. Second, I’ve […]
Want to know why I didn’t blog on Wednesday. It’s because I just finished working between 12-14 hour days for the last 12 days. It was a crazy and a lot of hard work but I love my day job. Even with those crazy hours I was able to finish […]
Wow I’m so crazy busy, I didn’t even do a fused glass blog on Wed. I’m doing a myriad of fused glass custom orders: 4 night lights, a poker guard, cuff links, a pendant. I also just finished 100 fused glass soap dishes for a commercial order. I’m also sending […]
I just complete Doherty HS Craft Bazaar. It’s my last show of the season so it’s kind of bitter sweet. I always love seeing my old friends/customers and love meeting new ones. I’m not sure when my next show will be so it’s kind of sad. I can’t tell ya’ll […]
I’m not sure if I mentioned it already, but a couple of months ago I had a customer asked me if I could turn my fused glass green-man into a mantel sconce like my Aspens. Then at my last show I had another customer ask me if I could turn […]
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sure did. It’s always good to see family. So I always tell my fused glass customers if you break a piece of art glass don’t just throw it a way I can always make something with it for you, i.e., refuse […]
Just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. We as Americans have so many things to be grateful. During this time of turmoil it’s even more important to remember all of the things and people we are thankful for. God has truly blessed us with this wonderful country. […]
Wow 3rd show in three weeks and Rampart was one of the best. I love showing off my fused glass. I sold several special pieces to special people who know amazing fused glass artwork when they see it. It’s funny even though I make a myriad of fused glass artwork, […]
As I’ve mentioned numerous time, I love to learn different techniques for fused glass. Glass is the best medium in the world because you can do so much with it. One of the most inventive fused glass teachers I’ve ever met is Tanya Veit. I’ve mentioned her before and eventually, […]
This past weekend I had a booth at the Liberty HS craft fair and as always my fabulous fused glass newsletter friends showed up to support me. I also met a more kindred glass spirits. People that see my glass for what it is, beautiful artwork. It felt so great […]
As I’ve mentioned several times I love learning new techniques in fused glass. One fused glass instructor that has been on my list since I began fusing, is Patty Gray. I was lucky enough to attend her 3 day workshop in Denver and what made it even better is one […]
This past weekend I had a booth at the Smoky Hills HS in Aurora. I had a good time talking to my fellow vendor (who makes amazing fudge) and made some new friends as well. I had several people sign up for my newsletter / enter my $25 Fused Glass […]
