During one of my shows two of my friends (that love my fused glass snaps) said it would be nice if I could add snaps to hats. They had seen them before and thought it would be nice to add the snaps to other things besides jewelry. So I bought […]
Happy New Years! Every year I try to set goals for my fused glass. I also review my goals from last year to see how I did. I’m looking forward to this year and learning new techniques. 2016 was a great year for me […]
I blog about my good friend, Marilyn, all the time and the different fused glass pieces that I make for her. Well recently I made some custom photo fused glass magnets for her (I made some for me as well). Then this month while I […]
I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas. I had a great Christmas and was able to spend sometime with my husband and daughter. I also got to speak with my son and I got to spend time with two of my good friends. Yep it was a great Christmas. […]
Sometimes, when I create fused glass jewelry I make a block of glass to cut my pieces from. In metal terms a block of metal is called ingot so I thought I’d steal the term for my glass ingots. Anyway first I fuse various pieces of glass together. I added […]
I have two new fused glass dishes. I made these the same way but I used light colored pebbles in the green one and dark based ones on the red one. I also added some powder printing two the dark one. The green one is pretty shallow and the edges […]
In November I took a painting class with Shelley Long. I finally picked it up today. OMG it’s so beautiful I had to show it too you. It’s 1 inch thick. It’s so beautiful, I just love it. I especially like the aspens! It’s amazing and the firing schedule was […]
I love taking fused glass classes from amazing teachers like Bob Leatherbarrow, Tanya Viet, Amanda Taylor, etc. I love learning their techniques and meeting other glass artists that love fused glass as much as I do. Another thing I like doing is buying their fused glass artwork. This piece is […]
I just made some pretty cool fused glass bowls. Most of the time I make bowls full of color, but these fused glass bowls are clear. I also fused them over a spiral textured mold so they have beautiful bottoms. This fused glass dish is only 5″ across and a […]
Last month I showed two different types of lanterns with my fused glass. Here is another type of lanterns with 4 panels of glass. This one I put 1 powder print (flames, 2 clear textured, and a orange / red. Obviously I can make panels with decals, custom, colored art […]
I have some amazing customers that like to present me with challenges. At first both Ann and Melanie would ask me to change one of my normal pendants into a snap. Which was fun because it makes me look at my fused glass pendants in a new way. But recently […]
So this weekend was my last show of the season. I enjoy seeing my old friends and making new ones. I want to congratulate M. Ward she won our drawing for $25 free fused glass. You can look through my sites www.elegantfusedglass.com, my Etsy store, or my artfire store. If […]
I did it, I screen printed the serenity prayer on fused glass. It took me forever but Isn’t she beautiful. The first one didn’t turn out because white isn’t strong enough to stand up to the background. I wish it was because the white against the aventurine blue was beautiful. With this […]
Last week I showed you a lantern with several tiny fused glass panels. This week I thought I’d show you a bigger lantern with larger fused glass panels. This one I put some dolphin fused glass pieces and then I put some confetti glass in. Glass likes to shrink when […]
