A few years ago a good friend of mine asked me if I could fused someone’s ashes in glass. A childhood friend of hers had died and she wanted to create a memorial piece to keep him close. It was my first time creating such a special piece of glass. […]
Last week I did a blog about my fused glass garden Mushrooms. I love them they are so great. In fact here are a few more fused glass garden mushrooms. (the bottoms aren’t on because it’s difficult to take a picture unless they are in the ground. […]
Yep you read that right this blog is about my brand new fused glass garden mushrooms. I watched this video on how to make fused glass mushrooms. Luckily for me I had several molds that would work. The artist gave really great directions and so I used a similar process […]
So it’s the first week in April so guess what I’ve been up to? That’s right taxes. It took a while but I got it done. Matter of fact I even decided not do glass until I got my taxes done. I’m glad it’s done, I’m very happy with myself. […]
Since last month’s DYK is about how I start a fused glass I thought I’d show you a fused glass piece that had so much potential I changed my mind 3 different times! As I create pieces whether it’s a dish or pendant there are left over pieces so I […]
I’ve had a fun fusing month, not only am I doing another commercial order, I’ve also been busy making some fused glass functional art. I like to create fused glass pieces that are both beautiful and functional. This first fused glass platter is quite large 13″ x 6″. I really […]
I love creating fused glass, but I also love any type of glass. So I have taken a couple of flameworking classes (see my past blogs). However the borosilicate class I took wasn’t too in-depth so I thought I’d take another one. Leslie recommended I take one with Glasscraft. So […]
Easter is just around the corner so I thought I’d show some options for Easter Fused Glass Pendants. I like these because some are little Easter angels, some are bunnies. I also have some beautiful Fused Glass Religious pendants. […]
Wow I’ve been busy. I just got back from an amazing fused glass class with Bob Leatherbarrow. I had so much fun that I didn’t do any blogs while I was there. So I’ll do several back to back documenting my journey while at Salt Springs Island, British Columbia. For […]
In January and February. I blogged about one of my fabulous customers who bought one of my handcrafted fused glass aspens and broke it. I’ve always told my customers if they break a fused glass piece that they buy from me to bring me the pieces and I’ll make them […]
A famous fused glass Artist Boyce Lundstrom coined the phrase never refuse to refuse and I’m a firm believer in that. Earlier this month and last month I wrote blogs about refusing broken glass pieces. This one is about a fused glass piece that […]
As I mentioned in my fused glass votives blog, Tulip – Exquisite gifts / fantastic finds (the store that show cases my fused glass in Denver) also asked me to make some fused glass candle shields. I like fused candle shields because I can […]
Each month I tried to do a review of some kind of the myriad of Fused Glass DVDs, E-books, Magazines, tutorials, etc. that I watch or read. I watch several of the Glass Pattern Quarterly (GPQ) webinars. Some I watch during the first run, so to speak, so I can […]
The majority of last month I was busy with commercial fused glass orders so those processes and fused glass pieces monopolized the majority of my newsletter blogs. I got a short break from commercial orders and I’ve actually been enjoying my big kiln for over a week. Wow have I had […]
