Last month I visited the Sangre De Cristo 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe and told them about my art glass. I wasn’t able to make it in time for the September show, but they gave me the information to have my three of my glass art pieces for the October […]
I have to admit sometimes I have pieces that are in my inspiration room that I forget to finish. Ok that’s not 100% true, I have lots of pieces that I haven’t finished. Well, I finally finished a few pieces. This first piece is one of my buddha’s, I made […]
I had a Fused Glass Home Show this month. I really enjoyed having my home shows. I like showing my visitors how I make my glass and where I make it. I have more fused glass artwork available when I do home shows. Here are pictures of my glass set […]
I had another commercial fused glass order this month; this time was for a large hotel in Arizona. I’m so glad hotels, both small like last month and large support fused glass artist. Here they are in the kiln for a slump as well as them ready to go. It […]
I sent out an email giving 3 options for a fused glass class on 14 Nov and two students who have taken several classes wanted to take a private fused glass dish class with me. Normally the minimum is 3 students but Glenda and Brenda wanted to make several dishes […]
I love flowers. That being said, I am not much of a gardener, albeit I do love to make fused glass for the garden (lawn or yard) and for house plants. I’ve made several plant stakes, garden art, etc. Since I’ve tried other types of fused glass garden art, I […]
A couple months ago I wrote a post about my friend Jax, she mentioned me making some little fused glass dishes for a local tea shop. Here are some of the fused glass dishes I made for the tea shop. I created the screens and then fused each dish, printed […]
A few years ago, we had a family reunion, and I was able to meet my cousins that I’ve either never met or haven’t seen in 50 years. Over the last few years, we’ve gotten to know each other even more, and it’s been a wonderful experience. Recently one of […]
Anyone who knows me, knows I love glass. In fact, that’s why I started making glass, for me. It’s kind of funny, half the time when I make something I want to keep it. Anyway, here are a few more things I’ve made either straight up for me or I […]
I love boxes. I have boxes of every shape and material from all over the world. Most of which I got when I was stationed overseas years ago from Germany, Poland, Czech, etc. In fact, the round one I got from Greece when I was in my 20’s. BTW these […]
I like to do posts anytime I change the kiln’s relay. First because it helps me track how often I do change them. Second reason is because it shows you that it’s not all fun and games. I have 5 kilns, but I use my baby kiln the most, so […]
Waterjet glass cut-outs are awesome, and I’ve used them in several fused glass projects. Here are just a few projects with waterjet cut-outs that I got from my good friend Tracy. Aren’t they fabulous, BTW I love my bears. When Tracy makes the cut-outs, she has lots of outlines leftover, […]
In case you didn’t know this month was sunflower season in Colorado and they were everywhere, they are on the side of the road, in the medium and in the fields, fields and fields of sunflowers. Here are just a few, yep you guessed it, in Westcliffe. I can’t see […]
One of my goals this year is to use some of my pretty glass and molds that I’ve never used before. So, this post is about 4 fused glass pieces I just finished. This first one is a special mold, it’s called hi / low, it’s low on one side […]
