For those who follow me know I travel a bit with my job. I’ve been to Rhode Island, Germany, London, and Alabama numerous times. Sadly there isn’t a lot of glass opportunities when I visit Alabama, but there is so much history near Montgomery; Rosa Parks, civil rights movement, etc. […]
In my last couple of blogs I have been talking about Tonya’s channel class. Well there is something else I want to talk about regarding this class. Tonya gave away 3 pieces of her fused glass artwork. I’ve never seen that before and I think it’s so very cool. I […]
Earlier this week I blogged about my channel class with Tonya Nelson. I really enjoyed this class. First as I mentioned I love this technique, second Tonya is a great instructor, and I made some new glass friends. Here is a funny picture of Tonya and me. As I mentioned […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve been busy making some new fused glass jewelry. The cross is beautiful and is made from the millefiori and murrini I bought while I was in Murano, Italy. I also made some fused glass rings. The pieces on the left are mosaic held in place with resin. The two […]
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 […]
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 […]
