My cousin is a talented quilter. Here are a few of her quilt blocks and the last one is an actual quilt. My aunts and grandmother use to make quilts. Quilting an amazing art form that I believe is special and beautiful and I wanted a one of her quilts […]
Recently I made several fused glass flower magnets and art pieces for Mother’s Day and for shops that showcase my fused glass art. They are beautiful the way they are, but they can be displayed in various ways. The fused glass vases can be added to frames with washi paper […]
Several months ago, I made a few fused glass dishes for the house in Westcliffe. I made these beautiful amber dishes. They are rectangular and perfect for dinner and breakfast. The key is not to put them in the microwave. I love my amber dishes, but I didn’t make enough. […]
Last time we went to Westcliffe we picked up some salt and pepper from the Amish Deli. The cool thing about the salt and pepper is it comes in plastic bowls. So, I decided to buy wooden salt and pepper bowls with lids and of course I decided to put […]
I’m not sure how your state is but in Colorado you either have two pay for bags (10 cents) or buy some reusable bags. BTW next year stores won’t have the plastic bags available – so we have a year to remember our bags because of course I forget the […]
I love pressed Fused Glass and I have pressed glass several times. I’ve also made small flowers with the pressed fused glass. They are versatile and fun. Here are a couple I’ve made previously; I slumped them and as you can see these are all magnets. I watched a video […]
With Mother’s Day coming up I thought I’d make some Fused Glass Flowers for Mother’s Day. There are so many options for these flowers. First are small pieces that can be magnets or pendants. I also made some bigger ones the first row has a clear base. The second row […]
I love creating fused glass dishes, whether for art or as functional pieces. I just finished slumping several new dishes. Here are just a few of them. There are myriad of techniques and they are in various sizes. This first set is pieces of clear and blue fused together then […]
I’ve been making a lot of fused glass stirrers and flower stakes lately. I normally keep them in a bottle vase, but I’ve made so many I’ve ran out of bottle vases, so I’ve decided to make some bottle glass vases more. These first two bottles have texture so I […]
A couple of months ago I finished up some of my fused glass drop vases. Here are the pictures of them and the majority of them turned out beautifully. However, there were a couple that didn’t turn out well. The first picture shows how I separated it, the how uneven […]
I pull vitrigraph and cane pretty regularly, but I’m not an expert at creating fancy cane / murrine. So, when one of my good friends was selling cane, I decided to buy some of her COE 96 cane. They remind me of the old fashion stick candy, so colorful. It’s […]
Last month I wrote about some of the fused glass pieces (below are just some of the dishes) I made with Wissmach Prisma Glass, Reactive Blue Oster Pearl and Oster Pearl Reactive Blue. Such a beautiful glass. I loved this glass so much I decided to make pebbles and squares […]
I’ve written about my fused glass drop vases a few times. This post is about the part of the vase I cut off, I call them the Fused Glass “holes”. Most fused glass artists make the rims out of clear and just toss them but I make the entire piece […]
A few months ago I made some coasters and trivets. I decided to make a few more coasters. I hand screen printed them. Which is your favorite coaster? I also made a few rectangle trivets. I like the round ones but two of these protect the table better. I also […]
