This past weekend I had my first official Art show of the season. It was in Woodland Park, Colorado. It was their 37th year; I love this show, so many great vendors and such a beautiful place. It was a Saturday and Sunday; the second picture is of Pikes Peak […]
It’s that time again, I so love the wildflowers of Colorado. The interesting thing about Westcliffe is that every time we go there are different flowers, and I love them all. I also have to take several pictures of each flower. This first group of flowers are from the side […]
I’ve made many fused glass photo stands. Normally it’s the ones below, simple but elegant. There’s nothing like real photos and these are great to go anywhere and make perfect gifts. This is a very different type of fused glass photo frame. I love them so much that I made […]
This month my husband and I went to a Josh Groban concert at Red Rocks. Josh Groban has the most amazing voice, and his songs are so uplifting. My husband and I have loved Josh since 2002. The first time we heard him was in Japan, we went to Tama […]
I have my first Art show of the year on 6th & 7th August in Woodland Park. I’m excited, I love seeing my friends and longtime customers. As any of you know who come to visit me, I always give away presents for those of you who get my newsletter. […]
Normally when I make fused glass plant stakes they are casted or cut design pieces. Here are some examples of some of my other fused glass plant stakes. They are all fun to make, I especially like using knives as the stake portion. But recently I saw a video on […]
I decided to create glass art based on one of my myriad of tutorials. The class I chose is from Sarinda Jones, her curious mondo & patron class – Fused Glass Sugar Casting. I’ve wanted to do this for a while. I love texture and sugar casting has a lot […]
Over the 4th of July we went to visit Dan’s Family in Delta Colorado. It was a long drive but they are very worth it. As we were driving to Delta through Montrose I saw a sign for the Black Canon and I told Dan I’ve never been there and […]
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 […]
