Last month I posted the following new Fused Glass Plant Stakes, while I was making them I got excited about making some different plant stakes. So the tops of these plant stakes were previously casted pieces so I made the bottoms to fit and match the top. I also used […]
In my last post I wrote about my new fused glass night lights. Another of my favorite things to make is fused glass candle shields. I make them the same way, but instead of plugging them in as a night light, they can sit anywhere and light up. Again, they […]
