Recently I’ve been blogging about my fused glass at the flipping peddler here in Colorado Springs. So I thought I should give a shout out to Tulip’s in Denver. I’ve had my fused glass there for several years and it’s a wonderful shop. Recently when I was dropping off some […]
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 […]
Last month I put some of my fused glass artwork in a local shop – The Flipping Peddler. Here is my first piece I sold at the flipping peddler. I also replaced it with another night light. (sorry the picture is so blurry). I went to The Flipping Peddler recently, […]
I made some beautiful fused glass succulents this month. I’m really happy with them. This is the first time I used all of my succulent molds, so this blog also counts as my new molds for the month. I love this type. The one on the left is a periwinkle. […]
For Easter I thought I’d make couple of fused glass Easter treats. Here is my little fused glass chick. It’s made from frit in a fiber mold. Here is my little fused glass rabbit. I’m not 100% sure what I’m going to do with them but I think they are […]
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 make fused glass wine holders for quite sometime. Last time I tried it, it didn’t work. Recently one of my favorite instructors put out a video on how to make fused glass wine holders and so here are my first few. The first wine bottle holder […]
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 […]
I love making fused glass mirrors. Normally I use a mirror and small fused glass cabochons. Here are two mirrors I made recently, the first one can be either vertical or horizontal and has the glass on the inside of the bevel. The second one is round and the glass […]
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 […]
This nano bead mold is kind of cool. It makes14 beads at once – 6 round beads, 6 square beads and 2 small beads. I made 2 sets. I need to remember to add a bit more glass. Here are the glass beads I made with the mold I stacked […]
