I absolutely love creating fused glass jewelry, and one of my favorite enhancements is incorporating silver into my designs. It adds elegance, brilliance, and a beautiful transformation when paired with Alchemy Glass—specifically, Silver to Bronze reactive sheet glass.

Back in February, I shared a post about a special project I created for my dear friend Marilyn, who had recently lost her beloved dog, Aspen. She asked if I could make fused glass paw prints incorporating Aspen’s ashes—a heartfelt way to keep his memory close. I was honored to […]
These fused glass poppy pendants are a series and started out as a mistake. They turned out beautifully. I added dichroic to the back, so they are nature and bling combined. Because they are transparent, and I was writing my DYK about drilling holes I thought I’d do the same […]

I’ve written numerous posts about fused glass hearts and hopefully you don’t mind. I love making casted fused glass because they are fun and relatively easy to make. I love giving them away and teaching people how to make them. For Christmas I gave these away to my friends. I’ve […]
