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 […]
During my Doherty Craft Show I was asked to make a red and white iridized bowl but for the life of me I can’t remember her name. If you wanted me to make you a red and white bowl please email me. I actually made two fused glass bowls for […]
I have 3 new fused glass pieces I want to show off. They are all made with clear glass and powder. I really like organic shapes, I think they are so interesting. They are more art pieces and so beautiful. I love the shape of this one and the colors, […]
Last month I wrote a couple of blogs about fused glass Halloween and Christmas artwork. I also made some night lights. These are a bit different, they can be interchangeable. The nightlight has a hook and can hold a fused glass art piece. Here are the 4 I made. I […]
While I was making the commercial order of recycled bottle cheese plates I decide to make some more recycled dishes / cheese plates. I made some green ones. The first one has a textured bottom and the last two have a bit of a curve to them. […]
Recently I had a commercial order for green glass bottle cheese plates. I love that a nice restaurant sees the value in recycle bottles and how great they are. I made 12 of them for the order, these are huge plates. Again I so appreciate […]
Since I made some Halloween fused glass pieces I thought I’d make some Christmas ones too. It takes a while to make Christmas projects. Then I made a couple more Snowmen spoons and a couple of little snowmen dishes. I also made some fused glass […]
With my Fall / Christmas shows coming up I thought I’d make some holiday fused glass pieces. Starting with Halloween. My little ghost was such a cutie. I need to make another one because he’s so sweet and now has a new home. I also […]
I just finished a class with one of the most amazing Kiln-formed Glass instructors, Craig Mitchell Smith. He is incredibly talented and the way his brain works just blew my mind over and over again! I’m sure I will write about how fabulous Craig’s class was several times in the […]
I’m asked occasionally do you hate selling your fused glass. The answer is yes sometimes I do. A few years ago I had a really difficult time selling my fused glass wolf sconce. I thought it was a beautiful, and it made me sad to sell it. […]
In the past I have made fused glass wine charms, albeit I haven’t brought them to a show in a while. I have holiday ones including Christmas, Halloween and New Years. However, during the woodland park show two lovely ladies walked into my […]
It’s interesting I normally do 3 or 4 commercial orders a year, but this year I’ve had 4 within the first 6 months. I have a new fused glass commercial order for 200 soap dishes. I’ve made these before and I like them, They are perfect, plus soap dishes are […]
Guess what happens when you get cocky with creating fused glass? That’s right it breaks. I’ve made over 100 of my big production plates. But in my last few slump firings 2 of my plates broke. The first one actually took a small bowl with it. If you know about […]
