I love this textured mold. First I am a Florida girl so I grew up around water. We had a canal right by my house and lakes all around and of course the ocean not far away. Anyway I’ve had this mold for a couple of months. I hand laid […]
Hello my name is Karen and I’m addicted to glass and I believe it’s the best medium to work with. I’m sure that most of you know how I feel about glass already. Glass is amazing, it’s so versatile and beautiful and I just truly love it. I never get […]
I just made several new fused glass nail files. I love these nail files, they are from the Czech Republic and they don’t wear down like the ones made in China. The nail files below are 5 3/8″ x 1/2″. I made each of the fused glass small stones. The […]
I watched a video a few weeks ago and the lady put her fused glass pieces on to cards. I loved the idea and thought I’d play around with it. Below are some of my ideas. The fused glass piece below can be a sun catcher or the card can […]
I’ve been busy making some new fused glass jewelry. The cross is beautiful and is made from the millefiori and murrini I bought while I was in Murano, Italy. I also made some fused glass rings. The pieces on the left are mosaic held in place with resin. The two […]
When I was in Japan I took a flower arranging class called Ikebana. I was taught the flowers are at three levels, Heaven, mankind, and earth. I don’t have a lot of flowers but I thought I’d show off my new fused glass Ikebana Vase. The fused glass is a […]
In keeping with my 2019 goals for my fused glass I decided to uses some of my dichroic glass. I have on hand. I learned to etch dichroic glass years ago from Tanya Veit. Back then it was huge, albeit now it’s pretty common but it’s still beautiful and fun. […]
In keeping with Valentine’s Day. I made some more fused glass hearts. These are all hand cut. I have multiple colors including dichroic. These two fused glass hearts are very large and could make great poker guards. I also made small fused glass dishes all with hearts. The first one […]
I love creating fused glass artwork. One of the things I focused on this month was fused glass snaps. I have three different sizes; large, medium, and small. This first picture shows my large snaps. Some are round but I also have a few that are different shapes. I like […]
A good friend of mine sent me a picture of three of the fused glass art sculptures she bought from me last year. I love seeing how people display my fused glass artwork. In the picture below you can see my friend has two fused glass mushroom lights, my sun […]
I love fused glass pebbles or dots whatever you want to call them. They are so pretty and relatively easy to make, I make them all the time. I use them on mirrors, frames, as embellishments, to name a few. Anyway when I was making my most recent pieces I […]
This month I’ve made several new fused glass night lights and I thought I’d show them off. These first ones are made with iridized glass, ironically I made flowers. I also use both switch lights and sensor switch. I love my nightlights they are such pieces of art. These two […]
One of my goals for this year is to use one of my molds a month. I’ve had this wonderful mold that I’ve never used. I had this great piece of organic clear glass and decided the two were made for each other. In addition to making this fused glass […]
First as I mentioned in my Resolution / Goals blog I want to try to use not only my glass but my findings I’ve been hoarding (I mean saving). I always say everything looks better with glass. These little cases are actually mirrors. I always have little fused glass dots […]
