In December a lovely lady asked me to make a fused glass butter dish for her Amish Country Butter. If you’ve never seen this butter it’s huge. She wanted a lid with a handle. I like challenges so told her I’d do my best. The first one I made took […]
Normally I don’t teach (my studio is always messy) but occasionally I will have a friend over and we will make a fused glass piece together. Lela – One of my good friends came over the other day to make a gift for someone very special to her. We made […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
