Earlier this week I blogged about my channel class with Tonya Nelson. I really enjoyed this class. First as I mentioned I love this technique, second Tonya is a great instructor, and I made some new glass friends. Here is a funny picture of Tonya and me. As I mentioned […]
I hope every mom had a great mother’s day this year. I sure did. My amazing husband made two of my favorite dishes lamb and baked tomatoes (with pesto and provolone). In addition, he made me my favorite pie! Normally I’m not a card person, but my husband chose the […]
As most of you know I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Last month I wrote a blog about the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in Divide Colorado, well this month I want to write about the Wild Animal Sanctuary near Denver. Wow what a place! They had so many beautiful […]
In December a lovely lady asked me to make a fused glass butter dish for her Amish Country Butter. If you’ve never seen this butter it’s huge. She wanted a lid with a handle. I like challenges so told her I’d do my best. The first one I made took […]
I love animals and I’ve always been amazed by wolves, foxes, and coyotes. It saddens me to say there aren’t wild wolves in Colorado but there are two sanctuaries for wolves relatively close to me. This month my husband and I went to the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in […]
I love learning, all kinds of learning. After watching Craig make stands for our fused glass Irises I decided to take a class in welding. So this month, I took an Artisan welding class, with my good friend Lela from General Air here in Colorado Springs. First I want to […]
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’ve been wanting to take Craig’s poppy class so much that I thought I’d try it on my own. It’s not a poppy but I think it looks pretty nice. I used Honey Luminescent glass. It’s such beautiful glass. I used a cabochon for the center of my flower. I […]
In February, I made a fused glass Ikebana vase in the shape of a lily pad. As I mentioned in my previous post Ikebana is a Japanese flower arranging art. It involves 3 flowers at 3 different levels; heaven, man, and earth. It was so beautiful, a good customer told […]
In my last blog I wrote about my trip to London and all the amazing glass I was able to see while I was in there. In addition to working and seeing glass I also got to do a bit of sightseeing. First me and my co-worker took a boat […]
This month I was able to go to London for work. Yes I am very lucky to have a job that allows me to travel. Anytime I travel if I have the opportunity I always try to look at glass. One of my friends suggested I go to the Vessel […]
This blog won’t have anything to do with fused glass but it shows a different side of me. This month my husband and I went to Breckenridge Colorado. We love Breckenridge it’s a great town and it’s so beautiful. This was our first time going in the wintertime. It’s also […]
A few months back I made some fused glass pocket crosses. I really like them so I made some more aren’t they beautiful? I thought a wonderful way to present the pocket cross is as a card. This way they make an even better gift. If you prefer a fused […]
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 […]
