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 […]
I’ve been making fused glass poker guards for a very long time. My husband is a big poker player and wanted me to make one for him (now he has several). Anyway I had some big pieces so I thought they’d make great poker guards. Aren’t they pretty. If you […]
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 […]

I took another mosaic class from Cathy. I so enjoy Cathy’s classes. She’s such a nice person and I find Mosaics very relaxing. I still have a bit of cleaning up to do but I really think it’s cool. Below is Cathy’s post from the class. As you can see […]
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 […]
