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 […]

I wanted to do a quick updates on some of the fused glass pieces I did in the last few months. First I finished some of the pendants from my fused glass show. The first two are the decal pendants. The two on the left are snaps and the two […]
Recently, I’ve been making a lot of silk screen fused glass pieces. Since I have Jewish friends I wanted to make a few for them. In case you were curious Hanukkah is 10-18 December this year. I have two Star of David’s. One is larger and I made it into […]
I just made something so cute. I’ve always loved aquariums, In fact I remember the first time I went snorkeling (in Panama) and the first time I went scuba diving (Okinawa). When we were in Guam we (my daughter and me) got to go into a place (fisheye) where we […]
I’ve posted about my custom production or commercial fused glass orders several times. I’ve been working on a very large order this month, 200 small coupe dishes. They are a lot of work. I had to cut a blue and clear circle for each dish, then break them out, sand […]
