In my glass last few blogs I talked about my class with Craig Mitchell Smith. I thought I’d show you just how talented he is. First if you want to really check out his amazing talent, click here to see his website. Craig has done several famous shows like Disney’s […]
As I mentioned in my recent blog my friends; Julie, Melinda, and Pam took the Craig’s kiln formed Iris class together. I’ve talked about them in other blogs. Our last group class together was in New York. But I’ve also taken two Bob Leatherbarrow classes with […]
Just finished up a custom order for fused glass flower sculptures. I’ve made several fused glass flowers before but what makes these different is they are meant to hang them on the wall. I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to hang them and even got advise […]
For those of you who follow my newsletter you know I’ve taken a couple mosaic classes from a local mosaic glass instructor (below). I just finished another mosaic class and this time the glass is on a rock. Which I think is awesome. I think […]
Over the last few months I’ve made a myriad of sets (over 50) of Fused Glass Earrings, so for my first show 4-5 August (Mountain Arts Festival, in Woodland Park), when you buy two sets of earrings you get 1 set free (of equal or lesser value). My fused glass […]
Before I left for my business trip I had a special custom order a pair of fused glass earrings. I’ve used the fused glass bubble technique before but I had never made a pair of earrings with the technique. I did finish them before I sent them, I just didn’t […]
This month I got to take a great class with Cathy Claycomb. It wasn’t a fused glass class. It was completely different. Plus the glass we used was beautiful. I’ve never really used it before, Kokomo glass and it’s not meant to be fused, but it’s so pretty it doesn’t […]
I love glass and I love figuring out different ways to use my fused glass. I’ve been learning a bit about resin and I wanted to see how it works with fused glass. Plus, since my kilns are full with my new fused glass production order I thought it would […]
I mentioned in an earlier blog this month I went back to Rhode Island. I’ve been to Newport twice before an I wanted to go to Thames glass and do a quick glass blowing intro. The last time I did glass blowing it was in Oregon. I enjoyed it very […]
I’ve blogged about my fused glass flower pockets before. This time I thought I’d make some fused glass flower hangers, which instead of sitting they hang. The first fused glass hanging pocket, is a triangle. I fused some vitrigraph on top and used stainless steel […]
In April of 2017 I did an entire newsletter on Creative Paradise’s molds. I love their creative paradise’s texture molds. I used some different colors in my fused glass mantle sconces. This first one is iridized white, lady in the woods. She’s beautiful and she looks amazing with the light […]
It’s spring time so I made some pretty fused glass wind chimes. I made them with brass chain, stainless steel chain and copper wire. I think they are all pretty cool I even took some to my store in Denver. This fused […]
In my DYK for March’s Fused Glass Newsletter I focused on my class with Laurie Spray. My second fused glass project was a present for my daughter. It was supposed to be for her 19th birthday; but I couldn’t help giving it to her as soon as I got home. […]
February’s Fresh From the Kiln I made a fused glass Spirit Tablet with a feather. I liked it so much that I made another one. The problem is I can’t decide which fused glass piece to put in the middle. They are all made of glass and added gold. The […]
