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. […]
On April 22nd I held a Fused Glass Class to creating a Forever Flower magnets gift for Mother’s Day. There were 3 lovely ladies in the class. I showed the ladies some of the options including different sizes. BTW I held the class in another room because I was expecting […]
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 […]

*I screwed up – sometimes when I have a similar post I duplicate it and use it as a base. I wrote a post about the beauty of Westcliffe but instead of duplicating it I “updated it”. Which means this post overwrote by beauty of Westcliffe from April. So, it […]
I received another order for fused glass caviar dishes for a small restaurant in Colorado. I’ve made these before and they are a bit complicated. I used a grinder and saw in addition to hand cutting the pieces. I also hand cut the mold to slump the glass into. It […]
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 […]
I enjoy making fused glass stirrers and flower stakes. A friend of mine asked me to make her a few so I made her the five below and then made several. It’s funny how some of the bulbs on the bottom round out nice and others stay square. It doesn’t […]
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 […]
