In the first big fused glass boot camp I took with Tanya she taught us sandblasting. The owl is still one of my favorite pieces that I made. She made us do it as homework and it took us all week, but I love it!! I keep it in my […]
Last month I focused on fused glass techniques I learned from a Patty Gray class I took. For this month I’m going to focus on some fused glass techniques I learned from Tanya Veit from AAE Glass. I’ve written about Tanya many many times. The first time I met Tanya […]
I’ve been revisiting fused glass techniques from my class with Patty Gray. First I want to tell you a kind of funny story. This was one of my favorite fused glass techniques Patty taught us so it was one of the first ones I redid. I made 2 soap dishes. […]
Last month I showed two different types of lanterns with my fused glass. Here is another type of lanterns with 4 panels of glass. This one I put 1 powder print (flames, 2 clear textured, and a orange / red. Obviously I can make panels with decals, custom, colored art […]
I have been working on something I think is really really cool. I am taking lanterns and changing out the old boring glass for Beautiful Art Glass! I have 3 types of lanterns. The first one that I have been working on is a 6 sided lantern. To see if […]
In October I took a pretty cool class at D&L called Glaskolbens. A Glaskolben is a tube of glass that you put frit in and then heat it and then blow into Christmas ornaments – basically round shapes! We used a tank and it’s a little like flameworking just less […]
My fused glass mantle sconces are very popular so I thought I’d make some that are a little simpler and smaller. They are both made with special textured glass. I also sandblasted the back of each candle shield. They come with a small candle and light up any space! The […]
I’m getting ready for my 4 up coming art shows and for my store in Denver. One of the fused glass Items I’m working on is my night lights. You can see I have a whole little forest of fused glass night lights. Every color and combination of trees. […]
I’ve always like bees and recently I learned how they’re population is being decimated across the world. It’s horrible, most people see them as a pain (no pun intended) but we need Bees. Bee’s do so much for our ecosystem, including helping feed the human race. Anyway, as a reminder […]
With Christmas right a round the corner I thought I’d make some custom fused glass ornaments. One is for me of course, one is for a good friend and one is for my mom. The Pictures are of my beautiful daughter. It’s sepia and is fused into the glass so […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about adding colored decals to fused glass. My friend also wanted some sepia choices. So I made her a sepia fused glass night light and magnet. The nice thing about custom sepia decals is that they are fused on so they can be […]
In my Fresh From the Kiln this month, I showed a few of the plates (for the wall) with hand printed decals. These decals are full color verses the sepia decals I can make. One draw back is that the hand-printed colored decals are baked onto the glass instead of […]
I love my fused glass night lights and one of my favorite of course is the tree of life. I have several types of the Tree of Life decal, some gold and black, gold and white, only white, only black. I put them on pendants and I also love putting […]
I know I’ve blogged about this before but, one of the the aspects of fused glass that I love is if you don’t like it you can refuse it. When I took the glass class with Amanda in New York I mentioned that I broke one of my fused glass […]
