This past weekend I had a booth at the Smoky Hills HS in Aurora. I had a good time talking to my fellow vendor (who makes amazing fudge) and made some new friends as well. I had several people sign up for my newsletter / enter my $25 Fused Glass […]
One thing about me is I like to check a place out before I truly commit. I did that with Leslie (of course it only took me minutes to decide she was amazing), I did that with Aquila, and I did that with Live, Love, […]
While in Portland I also visited Aquila Art Glass studio. I met Don, one of the owners. He was very gracious and showed me his working studio. Not only do they teach fused glass they also teach flameworking. More than teaching […]
I received a request for another commercial fused glass order and they wanted industrial looking these are a couple examples that I chose. I like it when I’m asked to create different types of fused glass for commercial orders. It makes it a little […]
On Monday I started blogging about my bullseye trip, so today’s blog is going to talk about the techniques we used in the workshop. Our class was a special class created for bullseye glass distributors students “Explore Bullseye Workshop”. Our class was with Tanya Viet because we are all students […]
What a fabulous 9 days I had in Oregon!! I did so much there is no way I can only write 1 blog, not even 3 blogs will be enough, but I’ll try to keep it to 7 blogs but they may be […]
Over the Labor Day I spent the weekend in Denver with my daughter. She went to desu kan anime conference. While she was at the conference I had planned on going to some of the glass shops in Denver, albeit they were closed due to the holiday. Since I had […]
August’s Fresh From the Kiln and mold of the month are small triangle dishes. They are perfect for potpourri, candles, or my favorite for rings. But they can be used for anything you want or just for decoration. The mold was had made by my good friend, Paul, whom I’ve […]
Exciting news on Wednesday, I got a new Fused Glass kiln! It’s the Evenheat pro 41. It’s a beautiful kiln, but it took quite a while to it hook up. The pictures for installation were so small, we had to ask our daughter to tell us what they were […]
Great news. At the Woodland Park Art Festival, I had someone approach me to sell my fused glass artwork in a Denver shop. She came over last night and picked out some pieces to see if they will work in her shop. I’d love to have my fused glass in […]
On Aug 1st & 2nd (Sat 10-5 and Sun 10-4) I will have a booth at 30th Annual Mountain Arts Festival in Woodland Park (at the UTE Pass Cultural Center. I’m really excited about it and am working hard to get […]
My Fresh From the Kiln for July is based on the review I wrote regarding Bullseye’s “Kilnforming With Rods” video. I’m not one to just like strips so I used a combination of some of the variations the video showed. I also […]
OK, I must be losing my mind! In January I wrote a New Year’s fused glass resolution blog, or so I thought. Since it’s July ( I hope everyone has a great 4th of July), and the year is 1/2 over, I thought I’d review […]
Earlier this month I wrote a review on two eBooks by Paul Tarlow “Waste Not! Fused Glass Projects Using Scrap Glass 1 & 2”. As I mentioned in that review when fused glass artists create glass pieces whether it’s jewelry or art pieces we have a lot of what we […]
