One of my goals this year is to use my glass and to use my glass part sheets I’ve created and not used. These are all made with 96 COE glass. This post is about some of the small dishes I’ve made. This first set of pictures is my small […]
Anytime I have space in my kiln I fire fused glass stirrers or flower stakes. I think they are fun to make and pretty easy as well. First you may ask, they look so similar what’s the difference. The main difference is with stirrers you don’t want the top decoration […]
I’ve updated my fused glass website – Elegant Fused Glass by Karen. I’m so excited and I hope you all like it, especially the classes. First, under “Locations & Shows” I’ve added 2022 Art and Craft Shows, Home Shows, and Tulip Gifts and Cards. I’ve also decided to hold Fused […]
When I go to an art or craft show I always try to buy a piece of Art from a fellow artist. The Woodland Park arts festival this year was no exception. However, what I bought is exceptional. It’s a knife, but not any knife it’s a glass knife. How […]
Recently, I wrote a post about my art show at Woodland Park Art Festival and the winner (Tammy). This post is a bit different. During my show I met some wonderful people. Two of the most memorable people I met was this amazing couple. She and I got to talking […]
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 […]
