A good friend of mine recently asked me to make her a fused glass pyramid. You may not know this but fused glass likes to be 6 mm or 1/4 inch thick. What I mean by that is when you put glass in the kiln at full temperatures (1450-1480) and […]
Do you remember that line from You’ve Got Mail, “I was decorating my Christmas tree and unwrapping funky ornaments…” well I feel that way every Christmas. I have ornaments that my kids made when they were little and a couple of my polymer clay ornaments. I have ornaments from where […]
I love fused glass lanterns. I went a little nuts recently and made several different fused glass lanterns. I know I’ve written about them before but these are just so beautiful. I have __ different type of lanterns. The first one is very unique it’s in the shape of house. […]
I’ve written about my fused glass flowers a few times, but I’m so happy I finished a couple more of my fused glass flowers. The stamen are epoxied in and the center’s can change out. My flowers can hang or they can sit on as a center piece. Not only […]
I’ve mentioned my good friend Lela in several posts. We’ve taken several classes together including cooking, macramé, welding, lead stained glass, and this last month we took a foil stained glass class. Here are some pictures of Lela making her butterfly. I just made a little bird but I enjoyed […]

I just made something so cute. I’ve always loved aquariums, In fact I remember the first time I went snorkeling (in Panama) and the first time I went scuba diving (Okinawa). When we were in Guam we (my daughter and me) got to go into a place (fisheye) where we […]
I made a fused glass Christmas wreath a while back, I liked it so much that wanted to make a few more. This picture doesn’t do it justice because the clear is actually iridized. This time instead of Christmas wreath I made a spring wreaths. I was inspired by a […]
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I have been making several silk screened fused glass pieces. For this post I want to make some gifts for some doctors and nurses I know as a thank you gift. I focused on red and white, but can make them in any color […]
If you follow my newsletters, you know I love taking various classes and spending time with my friends. When I can combine the two I’m in heaven. This month my good friend Lela and I took a leaded stained glass class. Our instructor, Jordan, was wonderful and is very talented. […]
