Last month I wrote a blog about a fused glass bowl I made out of the remains of once was a beautiful fused glass Aspen sconce. As I mentioned in that blog that the Aspen was so large (with a little extra glass), I was able to make two bowls. […]
I don’t think I’ve ever taken a picture inside my big kiln, this blog will change that. I have so many awesome pieces in the kiln I thought I’d show a quick snapshot before shutting the lid. This is whats called a slump fest I 13 different pieces […]
During a recent show one of my great customers who had bought one of my beautiful fused glass aspens came back with a bag. Inside the bag was the broken aspen. She told me that the aspen was on a shelf and got knocked to the floor. Anytime someone buys […]
This month I’ve been blogging a lot about my commercial / production fused glass orders. I mentioned that I have representatives helping me get commercial fused glass orders. Sometimes they email or call me and ask for something specific. Sometimes they […]
One of the myriad of reasons I love fused glass is how other art-forms can be incorporated into fused glass. I’ve mentioned art clay, stamping, flowers, and so many other arts. In several of my Facebook groups I follow I came across a post about Rangoli, according to Wikipedia “the […]

Instead of calling them resolutions, I’m calling them goals. I look forward to reaching my 2016 goals for my fused glass. 2015 was a wonderful year for me professionally. I started a new job that I enjoy and I work with great people. I also was able to create […]
During my last Craft show after seeing my aspen night lights, I was asked by one of my customers if I could make a sunflower night light. So for December’s fresh from the kiln I thought I’d make a couple. I’ve always […]
I just finished reading Bob Leatherbarrow’s fused glass e-book Introduction to kilnformed glass powders. First if you follow my blogs and newsletters, you know I took a class from Bob in May 2015 regarding this very topic. Second, I’ve […]
I hope Everyone had a fabulous Christmas. I had a wonderful Christmas. I spent time with my Husband and Daughter and got to spend time in my studio. It is difficult being away from my Son & Daughter-in-law but it’s still a […]
Want to know why I didn’t blog on Wednesday. It’s because I just finished working between 12-14 hour days for the last 12 days. It was a crazy and a lot of hard work but I love my day job. Even with those crazy hours I was able to finish […]
