We took another trip to Westcliffe. Last year when we went there were tons of wildflowers this time of year. This year there wasn’t as many but they were still awesome. We also went to the property, mostly cactus but there were a few more flowers as well. Other beautiful […]
Wow, I had another fused glass class thanks to Merle. This class was just Merle and her long time friend Kathy. They’ve been friends for 60 years! Kathy made 3 techniques including 3 Christmas Trees. They turn out so great, I love them. She also made the biggest pendant I’ve […]
As those who follow me know, I am a retired Air Force Veteran. I love the our National Anthem, the American flag, and of course America. So I thought I’d make pieces of fused glass artwork with my own screens (more to come in the July’s DyK) a few to […]
I received a new order for custom soap dishes. She wanted clear and a starburst effect. The first picture is the full fuse on a texture mold. The second pictures is the full fused pieces and on the slumping molds. The last picture is after they are slumped. Aren’t these […]
I’ve been writing about my friend Merle who makes gourdes and has brought her friends over for classes. One of her friends (and now mine) is Susan, she is a fabulous weaver. She used some of my glass to make me an ornament and a basket. Here is my basket, […]
In April I gave a fused glass class to four lovely ladies and this month I gave another one to three ladies. Thank you Merle for setting this class up for me. In my first class we made small dishes. Here is the class set up. I gave each participant […]
Last month I wrote about some of screen printed dishes. Of course, if you follow me you know I am addicted to screen printing: jewelry, dishes, etc. There are several different versions of pocket vases. This first set of screen printed pocket vases hang. I used various shapes and ways […]
A month or so ago Sharon, from Tulip Gifts and Cards, asked me for some purple fused glass photo stands. You may not know this but purple glass is made with gold so it’s expensive glass. Anyway I made her several to chose from. I’m curious which one she chose. […]
I have a myriad of fused glass artwork in my house, however I don’t have fused glass dishes for food. I have wanted to make some for quite some time. Finally, I decided to make dishes for myself. The first type of dishes I made are dinner plates. I made […]
It’s been a few months since I visited Westcliffe so I really needed this trip. We did a bit of our normal routine including visiting the properties, going to the bakery, etc. This time we stayed at Dark Sky Suites. It’s ok, but for the price I expect a bit […]
Several years ago, a restaurant in Florida asked me to make some fused glass copper textured dishes. I’ve made them several times, and I just finished another order for them. I really like making these dishes, they are so much fun seeing the different pictures in the copper. They have […]
As I have mentioned before in my posts, I have a job that allows me to travel and when I travel for work I try to do something for me as well. Last month was a busy month for me not only did I go to Paris I also got […]
Back in 2019, I wrote a post about this great couple that told me my buddha’s aren’t buddha’s (male) but Kwan Yin / Quan Yin – Goddess of Compassion. I made a few more – I never get tired of these beautiful pieces. I’d love to know which is your […]
I love screen printing on fused glass. Recently I sold several screen-printed pieces, so I decided to make a few more. One of the pieces I sold was my octopus’ dish on white glass. So, I decided to make a large black dish with white enamel and a large white […]
