I made a fused glass Christmas wreath a while back, I liked it so much that wanted to make a few more. This picture doesn’t do it justice because the clear is actually iridized. This time instead of Christmas wreath I made a spring wreaths. I was inspired by a […]
October is Breast cancer awareness month. I thought I’d make some pocket fused glass Breast cancer pieces. I made 9 fused glass breast cancer pieces. Right now they don’t have bails but I can add bails and make them into pendants, key chains, or etc. I also have awareness ribbons […]
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I have been making several silk screened fused glass pieces. For this post I want to make some gifts for some doctors and nurses I know as a thank you gift. I focused on red and white, but can make them in any color […]
If you follow my newsletters, you know I love taking various classes and spending time with my friends. When I can combine the two I’m in heaven. This month my good friend Lela and I took a leaded stained glass class. Our instructor, Jordan, was wonderful and is very talented. […]
This month we went to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) to see the fall colors. RMNP is adjacent to Estes Park. We haven’t been to RMNP because Estes Park is pretty crowded. But I just love the colors of Fall we visited this year for a couple of days. The […]
I’ve taken several Glass Mosaic classes with Cathy. This one was interesting because it was a zoom class. I’ve taken a few fused glass zoom classes. I just love the interaction with other glass artists. Here are my mosaic aspen leaves. I really like them. In addition to doing the […]

A few months ago I made some beautiful fused glass flower scenes. I made some into magnets. I put two of them onto cards and gave them to my mom and mother-in-law for mother’s day. Recently I gave three away as gifts for three special ladies who weren’t feeling well. […]
One of my New Years resolutions was to use more of the glass I have on hand. So in this post I want to show you one of my favorite ways to use small pieces of glass. I made mini fused glass bowls. First I prepare my casting mold and […]
It’s that time again. I never get tired of visiting Westcliffe and I love writing about it and showing off our activities. As I’ve mentioned we always try to do something new. This month’s is no different. First we did our normal i.e., the best bakery in the world and […]
Recently I had a sale on my Artfire account, a fused glass Lady in the Woods sculpture. Normally on my sculpture pieces whether it’s the Tree of Life, Green Man or Lady in the woods, I make them to order. Ironically the examples are all shades of green but they […]
