Y’all know I love fused glass flowers. This month I took a class with one of my favorite people – Laurie Spray in Bonny Doon California. Here is a picture of of Laurie and me. I just love her. This is my third class with Laurie. I also took a […]
In my DYK I’m going to talk about my family reunion. I’m going to give them is various types of Fused Glass artwork. One of the things I’m giving my brothers and sisters is fused glass ornaments. I love my ornaments with fused glass decals. Which decal is your favorite? […]
I made myself a present last year, a fused glass clock. What made it extremely special is the interchangeable pictures of my granddaughter. She has grown so much, so I decided I’d update my clock with new pictures. I love this clock it’s so beautiful. I just love being able […]
I’ve blogged about Tulip (Denver) and Sharron several times. Tulip is a fabulous store in Denver that supports me and other local artists. I’m so grateful to her. The last time I visited Sharron she asked me to give her my artist statement. I love talking about glass but I […]
Recently I made some fused glass Rainbow trees. I just love them, they are so colorful and just make me smile. But I need your help. 1st question – is which shape do you like best the curve or the wave? I like them both for different reasons. I like […]
As you know, I do a drawing for those who sign up for my Fused Glass newsletter during each of my shows, including the Rockledge Ranch. Even though I wasn’t at Rockledge Ranch Friday and Saturday I still had my drawing. The winner of the fused glass drawing at Rockledge […]
The day before I left Prague I went to heaven or Ruckl glass factory (same thing for a glass artist). Now I’ve seen blown glass all over the world including Murano, Corning in New York, the Black Forest in Germany, and even in Finland in my 20’s. I even blew […]
I’ve written blogs about my “Buddhas” a couple of times: March 2019 and Nov 2017. I love them but they do take a bit of work. I made a few new ones for my 2019 season. I make 3 versions, the full version on the left, the partial in the […]
When I am at a craft fair I always walk around and buy something from a fellow artist. I do this for a couple of reasons; 1st I love all kinds of art, 2nd I like to practice what I preach – buy art from real artist not mass produced, […]
When I got home from Breckenridge I decided I’d make some flower Lanterns. I actually made 4 but I messed up on the size of glass for 2 of them so I’ll have to finish them some other time. Meanwhile the first one is a small black lantern with 6 […]
While I was in Breckenridge I discovered they have what’s called Breck create. It’s right on Main Street and as we were walking around town I saw they had classes including a flameworking class. It was called pendants inspired by nature. I signed up (very reasonably priced). When I showed […]
One of my goals this year is to use products that I have on hand. The one I decided to use this month is my wood bookends. So I decided to use my luminescent glass and textured molds. The first one is a beautiful glass and I used my butterfly […]
Last month I made a fused glass amber flower with luminescent glass. I liked it so much I thought I’d make another one well I ended up making three. I liked it so much I made a set of blues and green fused glass flower wall sculptures. The first fused […]
In my DYK (below) I wrote about my trip to Ottawa Canada this month. When I travel (for work or pleasure) I try to see something that’s glass related. When I asked my fused glass Facebook group they told me to visit Glass eMotions studio outside of Ottawa. The picture […]
