I’ve been wanting to take Craig’s poppy class so much that I thought I’d try it on my own. It’s not a poppy but I think it looks pretty nice. I used Honey Luminescent glass. It’s such beautiful glass. I used a cabochon for the center of my flower. I […]
In February, I made a fused glass Ikebana vase in the shape of a lily pad. As I mentioned in my previous post Ikebana is a Japanese flower arranging art. It involves 3 flowers at 3 different levels; heaven, man, and earth. It was so beautiful, a good customer told […]
In my last blog I wrote about my trip to London and all the amazing glass I was able to see while I was in there. In addition to working and seeing glass I also got to do a bit of sightseeing. First me and my co-worker took a boat […]
This month I was able to go to London for work. Yes I am very lucky to have a job that allows me to travel. Anytime I travel if I have the opportunity I always try to look at glass. One of my friends suggested I go to the Vessel […]
I took another mosaic class from Cathy. I so enjoy Cathy’s classes. She’s such a nice person and I find Mosaics very relaxing. I still have a bit of cleaning up to do but I really think it’s cool. Below is Cathy’s post from the class. As you can see […]
I wanted to show off some more of my new fused glass Buddha’s. I find them so beautiful and can get enough of them. The one below is the full Buddha and is iridized glass, it’s stunning. It comes with the display as well. This one is a beautiful green […]
I love this textured mold. First I am a Florida girl so I grew up around water. We had a canal right by my house and lakes all around and of course the ocean not far away. Anyway I’ve had this mold for a couple of months. I hand laid […]
Hello my name is Karen and I’m addicted to glass and I believe it’s the best medium to work with. I’m sure that most of you know how I feel about glass already. Glass is amazing, it’s so versatile and beautiful and I just truly love it. I never get […]
I watched a video a few weeks ago and the lady put her fused glass pieces on to cards. I loved the idea and thought I’d play around with it. Below are some of my ideas. The fused glass piece below can be a sun catcher or the card can […]
A good friend of mine sent me a picture of three of the fused glass art sculptures she bought from me last year. I love seeing how people display my fused glass artwork. In the picture below you can see my friend has two fused glass mushroom lights, my sun […]
One of my goals for this year is to use one of my molds a month. I’ve had this wonderful mold that I’ve never used. I had this great piece of organic clear glass and decided the two were made for each other. In addition to making this fused glass […]
First as I mentioned in my Resolution / Goals blog I want to try to use not only my glass but my findings I’ve been hoarding (I mean saving). I always say everything looks better with glass. These little cases are actually mirrors. I always have little fused glass dots […]
As those who follow me know my son had a daughter last January and this January my daughter and I went to see my son, daughter-in-law, and of course my granddaughter. She is so beautiful and so smart, I can’t tell you how special it was for me to see […]
I was asked to make a custom kokopelli in glass a few months ago. It turned out to be my biggest piece I’ve ever made 16×24 inches. It was also pretty challenging and tough piece to make. I wanted to do it as a screen print but the only resist […]
