A glass stringer is a straight tiny (1mm or 2mm) rods. I’ve never really used them before, because I prefer organic shapes and sizes of vitrigraph. However, I just watched a class (curious mondo) on how to use stringers and I must say I was inspired. I pulled out some […]
I love making fused glass candle shields and night lights. Here are four of my recent candle shields. They are fun because they are small and can be made from every technique. The three on the left are made with cut glass, casts, confetti, and frit. I make my candle […]

I’ve had a fun month trying out old fused glass techniques. Freeze and fuse glass is a cool technique. Basically you take powder add water put it in a mold and here is the surprise you freeze it. Once it’s frozen you fuse it. Here are some of the pieces […]
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I made 335 spirit soap dishes. When I make something there is always left over glass. I had quite a bit so I made a few great pieces. First I paired the beautiful glass with white. I made 2 rectangle platters. Then I […]

This month my new mold is my oval dam mold and then an oval shelf ring mold. As I was going through my glass I found some blue glass and I thought it would be perfect for this mold. I think they turned out really well, I love the transparent. […]
Last month I mentioned that Sharon from Tulip asked me to make some fused glass soap dishes. We’ll I went a bit crazy and made quite a few more. Remember these are not just soap dishes they can be used as spoon-rests and trinket dishes to name a few uses. […]

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, […]
