One of favorite glasses is petrified wood. I did a post a while back and made some little dishes. It’s reactive glass and changes colors. The bottom four dishes are the ones I made back then. I had Tracy cut some bears out of the petrified wood. Aren’t they beautiful? […]
I love Colorado and I love making fused glass. I have made ornaments in the past and I made another one. Additionally, I made something new with my Colorado’s, a nightlight. I also made little fused glass Colorado magnets. Additionally my friend Tracy made some Colorado state dishes. They have […]
I love textured molds. I bought a new one recently, a fairy. I also have a Mermaid that I haven’t used. I made three fairies and one mermaid. I think they are beautiful. I’ve kept them as sculptures but can slump them into bowls as well but they can’t be […]
I make fused glass soap dishes for large hotels in Florida and Arizona but I also make soap dishes for small hotels. I’ve been making soap dishes for a small hotel in California for quite some time. I made another order recently. She is very understanding. When we first started […]

Lately I’ve been making a lot of fused glass soap dishes for various hotels. I thought I’d make some fun ones for my customers. Some with cutouts and some piecing together glass. Below are some of my cutout dishes. They can be used for so many things – first they […]
I’ve written about my good friend Marilyn several times. She has been a friend for over 15 years and has supported my fused glass business wholeheartedly. She’s bought fused glass from me numerous times over the years. In fact, it was her cabin we stayed in while we were in […]
For Christmas this year Dan and I decided to spend a whole week. A friend of mine owns a cabin and said we could use it. To put it mildly it was magnificent! We had the best time, we went on the 26th and came home on the 1st. Here […]

While I was at Doherty craft show I had a couple of questions about earrings. The first one was just simply changing out fish hooks for levers. It was an easy change and I did them right there within 5 mins. Additionally while I was at the craft show one […]
During the Doherty craft show one of my long time customers bought a nightlight and as I was about to ring it up I dropped and broke it. Ironically it was right after she said it’s amazing your pieces don’t break. I said oh they will if you drop them […]
I just completed a commercial order of 48 cheese plates. I can’t call them recycled because since it was a large order I bought the bottles. They are quite large and very cool. Thank you to the restaurant that ordered them. The restaurant consistently supports me and my business. Thank […]
I love a challenge and one of my customers and friends asked me to make a poinsettia. There are a couple of different texture molds that I showed her. She asked me if I minded making both and I told her absolutely not. I made some test sheets and we […]
