I had another commercial fused glass order this month; this time was for a large hotel in Arizona. I’m so glad hotels, both small like last month and large support fused glass artist. Here they are in the kiln for a slump as well as them ready to go. It […]
I sent out an email giving 3 options for a fused glass class on 14 Nov and two students who have taken several classes wanted to take a private fused glass dish class with me. Normally the minimum is 3 students but Glenda and Brenda wanted to make several dishes […]
I love flowers. That being said, I am not much of a gardener, albeit I do love to make fused glass for the garden (lawn or yard) and for house plants. I’ve made several plant stakes, garden art, etc. Since I’ve tried other types of fused glass garden art, I […]
A couple months ago I wrote a post about my friend Jax, she mentioned me making some little fused glass dishes for a local tea shop. Here are some of the fused glass dishes I made for the tea shop. I created the screens and then fused each dish, printed […]
A few years ago, we had a family reunion, and I was able to meet my cousins that I’ve either never met or haven’t seen in 50 years. Over the last few years, we’ve gotten to know each other even more, and it’s been a wonderful experience. Recently one of […]
Anyone who knows me, knows I love glass. In fact, that’s why I started making glass, for me. It’s kind of funny, half the time when I make something I want to keep it. Anyway, here are a few more things I’ve made either straight up for me or I […]

I like to do posts anytime I change the kiln’s relay. First because it helps me track how often I do change them. Second reason is because it shows you that it’s not all fun and games. I have 5 kilns, but I use my baby kiln the most, so […]
Waterjet glass cut-outs are awesome, and I’ve used them in several fused glass projects. Here are just a few projects with waterjet cut-outs that I got from my good friend Tracy. Aren’t they fabulous, BTW I love my bears. When Tracy makes the cut-outs, she has lots of outlines leftover, […]

One of my goals this year is to use some of my pretty glass and molds that I’ve never used before. So, this post is about 4 fused glass pieces I just finished. This first one is a special mold, it’s called hi / low, it’s low on one side […]
Recently I was able to go to the Farmer’s Market in Westcliffe. I like buying from local people. I love going and meeting the wonderful participants at the little market. Last time I met the owners of a Lavendar farm. This visit was very special, I met Ginny from Sak […]
I love making fused glass for commercial companies. One of my most loyal customers is a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for them for quite some time. I just finished another order for her. Here they are start to finish; in the kiln for a full […]
