The day before I left Prague I went to heaven or Ruckl glass factory (same thing for a glass artist). Now I’ve seen blown glass all over the world including Murano, Corning in New York, the Black Forest in Germany, and even in Finland in my 20’s. I even blew […]
My fourth and final Woodland Park Blog. I know I’ve been talking a lot about my Woodland Park show and it’s because it was a wonderful show. First, I want to thank my customers. Thank you for your support and for loving my glass like I do. I must have […]
When I am at a craft fair I always walk around and buy something from a fellow artist. I do this for a couple of reasons; 1st I love all kinds of art, 2nd I like to practice what I preach – buy art from real artist not mass produced, […]
On our way home from Breckenridge, we stopped by the “Ghost town” of St Elmo. It was a very cool place, but I’m not sure if I would call it a ghost town. Plus the disappointing thing is they there were cars parked downtown, there wasn’t other places to park […]
While I was in Breckenridge I discovered they have what’s called Breck create. It’s right on Main Street and as we were walking around town I saw they had classes including a flameworking class. It was called pendants inspired by nature. I signed up (very reasonably priced). When I showed […]
In my last blog I wrote about my activities in Breckenridge. I also wanted to talk about some of our relaxing activities. First Breckenridge is a great little town. It has a beautiful river walk. We walked around the town an river a couple of times. So many beautiful flowers […]
Last week, my husband and I went on our first week long vacation in very long time, we went to Breckenridge Colorado. Breckenridge is such a beautiful place. The reason why we took the time to go on vacation alone is last Christmas, my husband and I agree is we […]
One of my goals this year is to use products that I have on hand. The one I decided to use this month is my wood bookends. So I decided to use my luminescent glass and textured molds. The first one is a beautiful glass and I used my butterfly […]
Last month I made a fused glass amber flower with luminescent glass. I liked it so much I thought I’d make another one well I ended up making three. I liked it so much I made a set of blues and green fused glass flower wall sculptures. The first fused […]
When I take a glass class in other locations I typically do some touristy things as well. For Instance: When I took a class with Amanda Taylor in NY with my friends I went to Niagra Falls and Corning. When I took my classes with Bob Leatherbarrow in Salt Springs […]

For those who follow me know I travel a bit with my job. I’ve been to Rhode Island, Germany, London, and Alabama numerous times. Sadly there isn’t a lot of glass opportunities when I visit Alabama, but there is so much history near Montgomery; Rosa Parks, civil rights movement, etc. […]
In my last couple of blogs I have been talking about Tonya’s channel class. Well there is something else I want to talk about regarding this class. Tonya gave away 3 pieces of her fused glass artwork. I’ve never seen that before and I think it’s so very cool. I […]
