So May and June were very big months for my daughter and our family. First Sky finished her bachelor’s degree at UCCS here in Colorado Springs. It’s quite an accomplishment especially with the pandemic going on for the last year and a half. Sadly she didn’t get a real graduation, […]
This month I received commercial production order. It was a fun one but lots of work. First I cut out squares and then I cut circles. I cut over 200 circles and only broke 2, that’s crazy good!! Then I washed them then, painted them, full fused them, then slumped […]
In March or April I made a lot of glass bottles vases, I made so many that I decided to make some into candles. Today my daughter Sky and I made some candles. Here are some of the glass bottle candles I made. I made the candles a little dark […]

In March and April I wrote two DyK’s about recycled bottles. I thought I’d show you what I made with some of the tops of bottles. I love recycled bottles. Here are some using different colored bottoms. I like the different shapes of bottoms and tops. I can include a […]
After taking my glass with Craig Mitchell Smith last month I went crazy making some fused glass vases. It’s not the same technique but I am very happy with them. The first two are a beautiful amber. I really like the bases. The bottom two are really fantastic. The red […]
Recently I met an amazing woman, her name is Tracy; she is a police officer and a glass artist. This police-woman is one of the most compassionate, caring, and dedicated people I’ve ever met. We spoke about the current state of affairs and of the myriad of things she said […]

Earlier this month I wrote a post about the fused glass hearts I gave to my mom and mother-in-law for mother’s day. Today is Mother’s Day and I thought I’d focus on a couple of the mother’s in my life, as a tribute to all mother’s. First obviously My mom, […]

I received another commercial order for fused glass soap dishes. I know I’ve posted these before but I never get tired of making them. This glass is fantastic. As you can see each piece is completely different. They are so elegant and beautiful. Besides being so different in color and […]
