This year I made some fused glass Christmas cards. The first one was a gift for a girlfriends mom, it’s a magnet. The middle one is for my mom, it’s an ornament. I also made 1 more magnet card for my good friend Lela. This isn’t the first time I […]
I wrote a couple of posts a while back about two stained glass classes I took with my good friend Lela. One was Lead and the other was Foil. Lela was so good at stained glass she made one for her mom. When she came over to my home show […]
Earlier this month I wrote about my friend Ramona and the fused glass pyramid I made for her. I also made a custom red fused glass spoon rest for Ramona. Ramona and I worked together on the size and shape of the spoon rest. The first two I made were […]
If you follow my newsletters you know I create custom commercial fused glass pieces for various hotels and restaurants. This month I received a very unique order. A restaurant wanted me to create fused glass amber leaf bowls. I drew a design and then hand cut the leaf from two […]
A good friend of mine recently asked me to make her a fused glass pyramid. You may not know this but fused glass likes to be 6 mm or 1/4 inch thick. What I mean by that is when you put glass in the kiln at full temperatures (1450-1480) and […]
This is a bit of an odd post because it’s 2 parts. Custom Fused Glass Christmas ornaments and gifts. I put them together because even though they are all different, they are all gifts. First the ornaments. For 2020 I created four 2020 custom mask ornaments. I kept one, gave […]
Do you remember that line from You’ve Got Mail, “I was decorating my Christmas tree and unwrapping funky ornaments…” well I feel that way every Christmas. I have ornaments that my kids made when they were little and a couple of my polymer clay ornaments. I have ornaments from where […]
This is a difficult post to write, which is why it has taken several months to write it. For those who follow my newsletter and live in Colorado, you may remember I have some of my fused glass at Tulips in Denver. In August Sharon, the owner and my […]
I love fused glass lanterns. I went a little nuts recently and made several different fused glass lanterns. I know I’ve written about them before but these are just so beautiful. I have __ different type of lanterns. The first one is very unique it’s in the shape of house. […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My father in law has had some health issues so it was very important that we see him this year. We were cautious but we enjoyed our time together. We never went past 7 people. I love dad and it’s so difficult to […]
We went to visit Dan’s family on the Western Slope for Thanksgiving. It’s such a wonderful visit. The drive over and back were so beautiful. The fire by grizzly trail was horrible, it went for miles. Thank God the fire stopped before hitting Glenwood springs and the damage was horrendous. […]
I’ve written about my fused glass flowers a few times, but I’m so happy I finished a couple more of my fused glass flowers. The stamen are epoxied in and the center’s can change out. My flowers can hang or they can sit on as a center piece. Not only […]
I’ve written several posts on pressing glass, it’s such a fun technique. I’ve also written about silk screening. Well for this post I combined silk screening with pressed pendants. They are so thin, aren’t they awesome. I have some more pressed pieces that I need to decide what to do […]
I’ve mentioned my good friend Lela in several posts. We’ve taken several classes together including cooking, macramé, welding, lead stained glass, and this last month we took a foil stained glass class. Here are some pictures of Lela making her butterfly. I just made a little bird but I enjoyed […]
