I have been working on something I think is really really cool. I am taking lanterns and changing out the old boring glass for Beautiful Art Glass! I have 3 types of lanterns. The first one that I have been working on is a 6 sided lantern. To see if […]
In October I took a pretty cool class at D&L called Glaskolbens. A Glaskolben is a tube of glass that you put frit in and then heat it and then blow into Christmas ornaments – basically round shapes! We used a tank and it’s a little like flameworking just less […]
I just took a great class with Shelley Long. This was my 2nd painting on glass class with Shelley. She is a fabulous teacher. I also really enjoyed the other ladies in my class. Wonderful and talented women. The technique that Shelley taught us this time was several layers of […]
My fused glass mantle sconces are very popular so I thought I’d make some that are a little simpler and smaller. They are both made with special textured glass. I also sandblasted the back of each candle shield. They come with a small candle and light up any space! The […]
This weekend I had a show at the Ft Carson Army Base. Yes I’m Air Force but all of the military is kind of family. It was a small event, albeit I had some great customers come by. I love meeting new customers but I really love it when my […]
I’m getting ready for my 4 up coming art shows and for my store in Denver. One of the fused glass Items I’m working on is my night lights. You can see I have a whole little forest of fused glass night lights. Every color and combination of trees. […]
I’ve always like bees and recently I learned how they’re population is being decimated across the world. It’s horrible, most people see them as a pain (no pun intended) but we need Bees. Bee’s do so much for our ecosystem, including helping feed the human race. Anyway, as a reminder […]
These are some really cool sugar skulls. They are relatively large in size around 2 1/2 inches each. They can be made into poker guards, magnet, brooch, key chain, etc. I wish you all a very Happy Halloween! If you would like to see more of […]
Last year I took a class in New York and blogged about it. I didn’t finish one of my fused glass bowls. I finally finished it and thought I’d post the final picture. When I left class I left it as a shallow dish. But the next step would make […]
With Christmas right a round the corner I thought I’d make some custom fused glass ornaments. One is for me of course, one is for a good friend and one is for my mom. The Pictures are of my beautiful daughter. It’s sepia and is fused into the glass so […]
I love making fused glass jewelry, night lights, and other functional fused glass pieces. However, I also love making fused glass art pieces as well. Art is basically something that is beautiful but doesn’t necessarily have a functional use other than esthetics. Sometimes when I create a fused glass piece […]
I love fused glass one of the fun ways to actually create unique glass is to create confetti glass. I put clear and colored glass, along with stringer, frit, etc. in a shape and fire it until it’s fully fused. I love confetti glass because it’s truly one of a […]
There are so many ways to create fused glass bowls. A new way I recently learned is called slurry’s because you create it using wet glass powder. I also added frit and vitrigraph. It’s great because you can add various colors and make various designs. These are 4 that I […]
Those who know me know that my eyesight for reading is pretty much non existent. So I am constantly looking for my glasses, once I was searching for my glasses and found 3 – on my head! So I made fused glass eyeglass holders. I wrote a blog about them […]
