I just finished another production order for a fabulous Aspen Restaurant. Normally when I do an order for him he gives me the approximate size and I do a few tests. He wanted blue so I did a transparent and a opal. This piece is an amazing mold but it’s […]
A little information for: Woodland Park’s Mountain Artists on 3-4 Aug. Woodland Park’s Mountain Artist’s is my first show of the season. For those who come to my shows know that typically I like to give away fused glass prizes for those of my newsletter readers who come to visit […]
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 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 […]
I’m so ready for spring. We just had a crazy blizzard. So much snow. Here are a few fused glass pieces, showing I’m so ready for spring. These four fused glass spring tiles can be either night lights, sun-catchers, or candle shields (picture on the right) This is another fused […]
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 […]
When I was in Japan I took a flower arranging class called Ikebana. I was taught the flowers are at three levels, Heaven, mankind, and earth. I don’t have a lot of flowers but I thought I’d show off my new fused glass Ikebana Vase. The fused glass is a […]
In keeping with Valentine’s Day. I made some more fused glass hearts. These are all hand cut. I have multiple colors including dichroic. These two fused glass hearts are very large and could make great poker guards. I also made small fused glass dishes all with hearts. The first one […]
I love fused glass pebbles or dots whatever you want to call them. They are so pretty and relatively easy to make, I make them all the time. I use them on mirrors, frames, as embellishments, to name a few. Anyway when I was making my most recent pieces I […]

One of my goals for this year is to use one of my molds a month. I’ve had this wonderful mold that I’ve never used. I had this great piece of organic clear glass and decided the two were made for each other. In addition to making this fused glass […]
Happy New Year 2019! Every year I do a review of my glass activities I accomplished during the previous year. 2018 was a great year for me — family, professionally, and in glass. As far as my family life; my daughter is still doing great in college, my granddaughter […]
In preparation for my large Kokopelli I did some tests. This is the first piece I made in preparation. I used photo resist, sandblasted, then applied the enamel. It looked a bit light but I thought it was because it was on clear glass. I like to make little dishes […]
I’ve blogged about my beautiful granddaughter several times. She is about to turn 1 year old. To celebrate her birthday I made my son a fused glass clock with 4 pictures of Mzia. The cool thing is the pictures can be changed out. They are magnetic so when they want […]
