When I am at a craft fair I always walk around and buy something from a fellow artist. I do this for a couple of reasons; 1st I love all kinds of art, 2nd I like to practice what I preach – buy art from real artist not mass produced, […]
As you know, I do a drawing for those who sign up for my newsletter during each of my shows, including this weekend’s Mountain Arts Festival in Woodland Park. The winner of the $25 of free fused glass for the Mountain Arts Festival drawing is Vick. I have emailed them […]
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 last blog I wrote about my activities in Breckenridge. I also wanted to talk about some of our relaxing activities. First Breckenridge is a great little town. It has a beautiful river walk. We walked around the town an river a couple of times. So many beautiful flowers […]
Last week, my husband and I went on our first week long vacation in very long time, we went to Breckenridge Colorado. Breckenridge is such a beautiful place. The reason why we took the time to go on vacation alone is last Christmas, my husband and I agree is we […]
Recently I had a request to carve a name into the back of glass. I tried a couple times but it kept being backwards. so I did some tests. Now if I need it to be on the front I know how to put it and if it’s on the […]
One of my goals this year is to use products that I have on hand. The one I decided to use this month is my wood bookends. So I decided to use my luminescent glass and textured molds. The first one is a beautiful glass and I used my butterfly […]
Last month I made a fused glass amber flower with luminescent glass. I liked it so much I thought I’d make another one well I ended up making three. I liked it so much I made a set of blues and green fused glass flower wall sculptures. The first fused […]
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 […]
