I love pictures of my granddaughter. I love taking the pictures and putting them on glass. One of the fused glass pieces I’ve made is a stand with pictures of Mzia. The flat ones are baked right on the glass and the others are on magnets so I can change […]
Recently I received an email from Laura regarding making a fused glass pendant with her dad’s ashes inside. It’s always such an honor to make custom memory pieces. I always take care and show reverence for each piece I make. Laura and I have collaborated every step of the way. […]

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 […]
