When I got home from Breckenridge I decided I’d make some flower Lanterns. I actually made 4 but I messed up on the size of glass for 2 of them so I’ll have to finish them some other time. Meanwhile the first one is a small black lantern with 6 […]
On our way home from Breckenridge, we stopped by the “Ghost town” of St Elmo. It was a very cool place, but I’m not sure if I would call it a ghost town. Plus the disappointing thing is they there were cars parked downtown, there wasn’t other places to park […]
While I was in Breckenridge I discovered they have what’s called Breck create. It’s right on Main Street and as we were walking around town I saw they had classes including a flameworking class. It was called pendants inspired by nature. I signed up (very reasonably priced). When I showed […]

In my DYK (below) I wrote about my trip to Ottawa Canada this month. When I travel (for work or pleasure) I try to see something that’s glass related. When I asked my fused glass Facebook group they told me to visit Glass eMotions studio outside of Ottawa. The picture […]
I’ve been blogging about my fused class with Miriam in my last few blogs and before that I blogged about my class with Tonya. The 1 similarity with both classes is where I took the classes. It’s at D & L in Denver Colorado. I allow myself up to 3 […]
When I take a glass class in other locations I typically do some touristy things as well. For Instance: When I took a class with Amanda Taylor in NY with my friends I went to Niagra Falls and Corning. When I took my classes with Bob Leatherbarrow in Salt Springs […]
