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, […]
These little fused glass dishes are made with petrified wood glass. It’s a special type of glass that reacts with some blue glass. I did some tests and I think it’s amazing. This is petrified wood glass before it’s fired. So it looks brown before it’s fired but when you […]
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 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 […]
This month I’ve made several new fused glass night lights and I thought I’d show them off. These first ones are made with iridized glass, ironically I made flowers. I also use both switch lights and sensor switch. I love my nightlights they are such pieces of art. These two […]
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 […]
