After taking the cookie class (see previous blog) Lela and I took another cooking class (BTW I don’t enjoy cooking). The class was at the French Kitchen in Colorado Springs. They gave me a nice bag because I signed up for another class. I made chicken and dumplings. I so […]
So I really love learning new things so recently I took 2 classes… Cooking classes!! The first class was a French Macarons class. This was more of a demonstration but I still enjoyed it. The class was in a local shop. Nice shop and instructor. What I learned from this […]
My baby brother recently came to Colorado to hunt for elk (yes he eats it, he is not a sport hunter). Anyway he stopped by to see me, I haven’t seen my brother in 4 years so it was a wonderful visit. He also came back after the hunting trip. […]
The last time I visited Sharon at Tulips in Denver. She asked me to make her some soap dishes. So I bought one of her beautiful soaps she sells in the shop. I made a couple fused glass soap dishes, here are two that I thought matched the soap really […]
A while back I made some custom fused glass pocket crosses for Diane. When she told me why she wanted them it brought tears to my eyes and I decided to make some for my family. We had a family reunion this month so I thought it was the perfect […]
One of my amazing customers asked me for a custom fused glass poker guard. This is actually her second fused glass poker guard. Below is a picture of her first one. I love aventurine green glass. This one was a bit different. She wanted to have two dogs on it. […]
In my DYK I’m going to talk about my family reunion. I’m going to give them is various types of Fused Glass artwork. One of the things I’m giving my brothers and sisters is fused glass ornaments. I love my ornaments with fused glass decals. Which decal is your favorite? […]
I made myself a present last year, a fused glass clock. What made it extremely special is the interchangeable pictures of my granddaughter. She has grown so much, so I decided I’d update my clock with new pictures. I love this clock it’s so beautiful. I just love being able […]
I’ve blogged about Tulip (Denver) and Sharron several times. Tulip is a fabulous store in Denver that supports me and other local artists. I’m so grateful to her. The last time I visited Sharron she asked me to give her my artist statement. I love talking about glass but I […]
Recently I made some fused glass Rainbow trees. I just love them, they are so colorful and just make me smile. But I need your help. 1st question – is which shape do you like best the curve or the wave? I like them both for different reasons. I like […]
I buy glass from various places but my “local” glass shop is D&L glass in Denver. It’s a bit of a drive but they have a good selection and I like handpicking my glass. I also like the fact that they have classes and show examples from the classes. If […]
I stopped by Tulips in Denver today. I just love this store and not because she sells my fused glass. But because there are so many amazing artists (30 local artists) showcased in her store. I love how she intermixes my fused glass with her other art (ceramics, cards, soap, […]
These little fused glass dishes are made with petrified wood glass. It’s a special type of glass that reacts with some blue glass. I did some tests and I think it’s amazing. This is petrified wood glass before it’s fired. So it looks brown before it’s fired but when you […]
I just finished another production order for a fabulous Aspen Restaurant. Normally when I do an order for him he gives me the approximate size and I do a few tests. He wanted blue so I did a transparent and a opal. This piece is an amazing mold but it’s […]
