I’m not sure what to call this new fused glass technique. I learned it from an e-book, her focus was on making hearts which is the first pieces I made. Aren’t they interesting? I really love the process, it’s pretty time consuming but I love the different techniques that go […]
I don’t know about you but I love frosted glass like sea glass. After watching a class with Jodi a year or two ago I bought a rock tumbler. I never used it until the past couple of months then I went nuts! Jodi was right a tumbler is amazing!! […]

So I’ve been playing with a new fused glass technique, called pressed glass. I tried it years ago from an e-book but I didn’t care for it. Then one of my favorite glass instructors (Tanya Veit) did a video on pressing big pieces and then I watched another video on […]
In my last post about my family trip to Breckenridge I talked about the places we went to. In this post I thought I’d talk about our activities. My daughter and I went horseback riding in White River National forest. It was fun and so beautiful. We normally try to go […]
I enjoy traveling so much and I like to share my adventures. We try to take at least one big trip a year and since we love the mountains we go to Breckenridge Colorado the majority of the time. Mainly because we own a timeshare up there. The first picture […]

I think I’ve made it pretty clear I love Westcliffe. In fact, we try to go once a month. The last time we went it was pretty closed up because of the COVID. But when it opened up we decided it was time to take our daughter, Sky, for a […]

Yes, I know it’s May but this post is to show how long it takes me to finish some of my fused glass pieces. I’ll make a piece but I won’t finish it. Here are some ornaments. I love making stars and tree ornaments. As you can see I have […]
A glass stringer is a straight tiny (1mm or 2mm) rods. I’ve never really used them before, because I prefer organic shapes and sizes of vitrigraph. However, I just watched a class (curious mondo) on how to use stringers and I must say I was inspired. I pulled out some […]
So we closed on our land in Westcliffe. It was amazing. We went to Westcliffe and set in lawn chairs and just listened to the wind and looked at the mountains. It was so serine, I’ve never felt such peace. We walked the land and found the boundaries. I even […]
