I finished several Fused glass pendants this month. There are a myriad of techniques including: stringer, tumbled, screen print, etched, and dichroic pendants. To check out the YouTube Video of me showing off my fused glass jewelry click on this link. The pendants below are a bit larger so for […]
Last month I wrote a post about some of the silk screened jewelry I created. I really enjoyed making them that not only did I make some more silk screened jewelry and I made etched jewelry. This first group of pictures are some new screen printed jewelry. The picture on […]
Last month I wrote about several fused glass techniques and projects and I thought I’d better follow-up on a few of them. First I want to thank you for all your kind comments and emails. They mean a lot to me. Also thank you for liking and enjoying my travel […]
In last month’s Newsletter I wrote about some of my silk screened fused glass artwork. This month I’d like to show you a few fused glass silk screen jewelry pieces. I’ve just got started on the silk screen fused glass jewelry but the possibilities are amazing. Thank you Tanya from […]
I’m not sure what to call this new fused glass technique. I learned it from an e-book, her focus was on making hearts which is the first pieces I made. Aren’t they interesting? I really love the process, it’s pretty time consuming but I love the different techniques that go […]
I don’t know about you but I love frosted glass like sea glass. After watching a class with Jodi a year or two ago I bought a rock tumbler. I never used it until the past couple of months then I went nuts! Jodi was right a tumbler is amazing!! […]
In March I wrote a post about making custom fused glass donuts I made for a customer. Below are pictures of what she made with the first fused glass donuts I made for her. Aren’t they beautiful! She’s so talented! Anyway She asked me to make her a couple of […]

In my last post I showed some of my fused glass pendants that I drilled holes into. I thought I’d show you some of the pinch bails I used, needless to say I’m pretty much out of bails now. I need to get better at wire wrapping. Anyway, here are […]
Do you want to know a little secret? I really don’t like drilling into pendants. Typically I glue on a bail but sometimes the piece is either transparent or they are so pretty on both sides that I just have to put a pinch bail on it. Sadly I can’t […]
I love adding fused glass decals to my fused glass cabochons. Typically when I make cabochons I have a box that I put cabochons in that I think would look great with a decal. I then will sit down and look through my decals that I think match the cabochon. […]
I have probably about 4 different types of enamels, that I’ve barely ever used. These fused glass pendants turned out great. I painted the backs of several cabochons to see how they’d turn out. Luckily I didn’t have to fire them too high. Here are the red cabochons. I love […]
I love talking about other artists especially when they incorporate my fused glass in their work. Jody of Grandview Creations creates amazing wood art, including jewelry. He made several wood findings for me to incorporate my glass. Here are two I used with my glass. They look great with my […]
This past weekend I met up with an old friend. I’ve known John since my second base in Germany over 30 years ago. John hasn’t changed at all, it’s crazy. Here is a picture of John and me this past weekend. This is a picture of my friends (Glenn, Diane, […]
