During my shows, I always do a drawing for anyone who signs up for my newsletter. At the Woodland Park Art Show in August, Erin was the lucky winner of the $25 prize! When I asked what she’d like, she decided on a fused glass night light. I showed her […]
This blog should come as no surprise to anyone — hi, my name is Karen, and I’m completely addicted to glass, especially fused glass! I love everything about it — creating new pieces, experimenting with colors and textures, and teaching others how to fuse their own glass art. Whether it’s […]
I absolutely love creating fused glass pocket hearts—each one is a tiny symbol of love, hope, and kindness. Over the years, I’ve written numerous blog posts about the hearts I’ve created, gifted, and donated. Recently, I decided to donate a large batch of hearts to a truly deserving group of […]
Back in June, I shared a blog post all about my fascination with glow glass—glass that stores light and glows in the dark, adding a magical touch to any fused glass piece. I featured some of my favorite fused glass creations in that post, and today I’m excited to expand […]
I truly enjoy going through my fused glass pieces and giving them a little extra charm by adding decals. It’s such a fun and creative way to elevate a piece and make it even more meaningful. Here’s one of my recent favorites—it’s both beautiful and uplifting. I started with a […]
This blog post is a two-for-one treat: first, I’m diving back into one of my all-time favorite vintage curiosities—uranium glass (also known as Vaseline glass), I’ll show you the glowing creations I made from a rather dull-looking uranium plate I picked up not too long ago. If you’ve read my […]
I absolutely love creating fused glass pocket hearts. There’s something magical about taking pieces of glass and transforming them into something so deeply meaningful. These fused glass hearts are more than just pretty—they represent kindness, connection, and care. Every time I sit down in my studio to make them, I […]
At work, we have an AI expert who not only uses artificial intelligence daily but also teaches others how to make the most of it. When I asked him about it, he said, “If you’re not using AI, you’re behind the power curve.” That got me thinking. I started experimenting […]
I was going through some of my older pieces and decided to change them up a bit. First, I found some poker guards that didn’t really fit as poker guards. So I changed the 3 of them to large snaps. I love the tree of life. I made it into […]
This is an extremely personal post. A few months ago, my nephew passed away. My sister asked me if I could make some cremation crosses for her and his family. I first made her some pocket crosses with the ashes on the back. Pocket crosses are kept in your pocket […]
I made a Fused Glass Table for myself for Westcliffe and I’m so excited about it. This is my first time I made a fused glass table. I used my favorite glass, the colors are so beautiful and reminds me of Westcliffe. Isn’t it fabulous? I love it!! I also […]
My good friend Marilyn asked me if I could make her a fused glass sign for her office. She wanted it to say, “The Ovary Office”! I think it looks fabulous! I added lots of vitrigraph, millefiori, and murine. I love it, I hope she likes it too. I love […]
Anyone who knows me, knows I love glass. In fact, that’s why I started making glass, for me. It’s kind of funny, half the time when I make something I want to keep it. Anyway, here are a few more things I’ve made either straight up for me or I […]
Last month I made a sign for my good friend (pictured below) and I liked it so much I thought I’d make a new sign with glass and wood. I made these Kanji (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) fused glass pieces a while back, but I decided they’d look better […]
