I love glass — all glass. And if you’re a glass artist, you know exactly what that means… sometimes beautiful sheets of glass follow me home even when they aren’t labeled for fusing. I do my best to keep my fusible glass organized by COE, but once in a while […]
Recently I made some fused glass Rainbow trees. I just love them, they are so colorful and just make me smile. But I need your help. 1st question – is which shape do you like best the curve or the wave? I like them both for different reasons. I like […]
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 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 […]
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. […]
A while back I got a great mold from Bonny Doon (Laurie Spray). I took a fabulous class from her (vitrigraph) and bought several molds from her. I got a Buddha mold but the first 2 times I used it, my pieces didn’t turn out so well. But my next […]
There were other fused glass techniques I learned from Tanya that I won’t be doing blogs about this month. The first time I did fused glass tapestry was with Tanya, as art. The one on the left is the one I learned at Tanya’s and the second one I learn […]
Another fused glass technique I first learned from Tanya is pattern bars. Actually she taught several types of pattern bars.

In the first big fused glass boot camp I took with Tanya she taught us sandblasting. The owl is still one of my favorite pieces that I made. She made us do it as homework and it took us all week, but I love it!! I keep it in my […]
I have been busy this month revisiting old fused glass techniques. However, I had some fused glass bowls I didn’t like all that much. For anyone who comes to my shows or reads my blogs know that if I don’t like a fused glass piece that I made then I […]
I have two new fused glass dishes. I made these the same way but I used light colored pebbles in the green one and dark based ones on the red one. I also added some powder printing two the dark one. The green one is pretty shallow and the edges […]
I did it, I screen printed the serenity prayer on fused glass. It took me forever but Isn’t she beautiful. The first one didn’t turn out because white isn’t strong enough to stand up to the background. I wish it was because the white against the aventurine blue was beautiful. With this […]
Last week I showed you a lantern with several tiny fused glass panels. This week I thought I’d show you a bigger lantern with larger fused glass panels. This one I put some dolphin fused glass pieces and then I put some confetti glass in. Glass likes to shrink when […]
