I love glass. I love getting it for myself and I love giving it as gifts. This year I gave small glass dishes and magnets to my co-workers. I put a lot of thought into each one, thinking about what each person likes. Here are the magnets. I made each […]
I had my last craft show of the year 4-5 December. It was a great show. I got to see some old friends and meet new ones. Thank you for everyone who came by. I really like Doherty because it’s 2 days and much easier on my body with set […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had a great time with family on the western slope (Delta) of Colorado. Here are just a few pictures of family. It was the first time Sky wasn’t with us. In fact it was the only time we weren’t all together since […]
In October I wrote a post about my new faux stained glass ornaments. I took them to my shows at Liberty and Rampart. Obviously I sold some as ornaments but I also had a customer ask me if I could change the one below into a nightlight. Because it had […]
I love flowers and I love making fused glass flowers. Obviously I’ve shown my big flowers – that I just love! But I haven’t shown many of my tiny fused glass flowers. I think they are beautiful and so very versatile. First they can be left flat, or slumped, and […]
Yesterday I had another Arts and Craft Show at Rampart High School. I like Rampart’s show because I don’t have to set up and tear-down the same day. It’s so much work and hard on our bodies. Here are some photos from my Rampart booth. Just like Liberty show I […]
One of my customers asked me if I could make her a fused glass star tree topper. It was a bit of a challenge, but I love it when my customers ask me to do something I’ve never done before. Here are some pictures of my fused glass star, you […]
In 2020 I made special ornaments to represent Covid. So this year I decided to make a special Christmas ornament for 2021. It’s a syringe to represent the vaccination. I think they turned out pretty cool. I didn’t make many of them and I took one into work. I’m curious […]
Last weekend I had my first art show in over a year. It was great seeing my customers again and sharing my love of glass. Here are a few pictures from my show. As always I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner […]
I love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. Additionally I like making stand alone (no pun intended). These little fused glass Christmas tree stands are wonderful. I haven’t glued the trees onto the stands yet so they can easily be changed out. I’m sure this design will also work for other […]
I love fused glass jewelry. There are so many techniques and they are all beautiful. I’ve mentioned Tanya Veit many times, she’s an immensely talented fused glass instructor. She did a video a couple months ago on what I’ll call dot jewelry. I thought I’d do a quick post about […]
I love hummingbirds, I find them beautiful and fascinating. So many memories of hummingbirds. The first year I was in Colorado Springs I went to a hummingbird festival and learned so much about them (like their tongue splits and wraps around it’s brain). I also remember the first time I […]
Last month I wrote a blog about selling some of my glass scrap. Well one of the people who bought some glass from me sent me a beautiful gift, actually she sent me 5. She sent me fused glass hearts that she makes. They are very beautiful and very large. […]
One of the aspects of fused glass that I love is it’s versatility. I make fused glass with various symbols including ribbons and puzzles in addition to the zodiac and Chinese symbols. But one that you may not know about is the semicolon – ; normally they are tattoos but […]
