When I go on a trip I always try to do something glass related. If there isn’t any glass related activity close by typically bring things with me to finish. Did I mention I have a bad habit of starting fused glass projects and not finishing them? One of the […]

I love essential oils so I thought I’d make a few more fused glass essential oil pieces. For anyone who follows me you know, my believe is everything looks better with glass. So I added glass to essential oil pieces. I made a couple of essential oil pendants with fused […]
In addition to the Alcohol Ink class with Cathy I also got to take Hidden Images 3-D with Cathy Claycomb. Like the first class this class wasn’t a fused glass class either. Again we used Kokomo glass, it’s so pretty, I wish it could be fused without losing it’s beauty. […]
This month I got to take a great class with Cathy Claycomb. It wasn’t a fused glass class. It was completely different. Plus the glass we used was beautiful. I’ve never really used it before, Kokomo glass and it’s not meant to be fused, but it’s so pretty it doesn’t […]

I have a bad habit of not finishing my fused glass jewelry pieces. Specifically not putting the findings on the glass. So while I was TDY to Rhode Island I took some findings and glass cabochons with me. I made some fused glass bookmarks, fused […]
I mentioned in an earlier blog this month I went back to Rhode Island. I’ve been to Newport twice before an I wanted to go to Thames glass and do a quick glass blowing intro. The last time I did glass blowing it was in Oregon. I enjoyed it very […]
As many of those who follow me know my day job takes me away on business trips (or in Air Force terms – TDY) quite a bit. April was no exception, as I mentioned in my April newsletter I spent a few days in Montgomery. After Montgomery I went back […]
For those of you who follow my newsletter, you know I go TDY (Temporary Duty) a lot. I just got back from a TDY to Maxwell AFB, in Montgomery Alabama. I’ve been to Montgomery several times, this time we stayed down town close to the Alabama river. […]
I’ve blogged about Mica before and even wrote a DYK about it. I love mica, it’s a mineral and actually comes in a rock form but most people think of it as a powder. Mica is used in cosmetics and electrical components. For these pieces I used mica (gold, copper, […]
