Since next month is Halloween, I thought I’d do a post about some fun fused glass for Halloween. Here are two of my fused glass night lights. The one of the left is a decal and frit and the one on the right is murrine (I love the Halloween themed […]
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 […]

Last month I wrote about my amazing fused glass butterflies. Laurie Spray created the butterfly tutorial but also the a dragonfly tutorial. In preparation for this post I read a little about dragonflies. Did you know (according to Wikipedia) dragonflies are insects and have two pairs of strong, transparent wings, […]
I had new commercial order this month. The clear and white soap dishes are a bit of a challenge to make because I had to cut six pieces for each dish. I so appreciate my commercial orders. It’s always a challenge to make multiples of fused glass artwork. The reason […]
I love learning. Recently my friend Lela and I took a wood and macrame class at AR workshop. It was my first time at one of these shops. We really had a great time. Lots of options. Of course the only thing I didn’t care for was Lela and I […]
