I’m still preparing for my up coming show, so I’ve been busy making some beautiful pebble artwork. I learned the technique from Bob Leatherbarrow during my second trip to Canada. I love this technique. I’m not sure if you can tell but this organic bowl is two colors, marigold and […]
As those who follow my fused glass newsletter know I love fused glass. As I’ve said a thousand times Glass is so versatile and you can make anything with it! Recently I bought some amazing molds, molds that make flowers! So I filled my kiln with them and tried them […]
I have been busy making new fused glass pieces for my show at the Holly Berry Festival 16-18 Sep. I’m asked a lot to make purple pieces. These are pretty cool one is a dark purple with Victorian flower texture and the other is a streaky […]
All I can say about this fused glass “bowl” is it’s amazing!! I say bowl but it’s really a piece of art. It’s 13 inches in diameter. It’s kind of like a watercolor. There are 5 koi all hand done and in various colors. […]
Guess what I’ve been up too. Actually quite a bit, I’ve been fusing like crazy because I have a big show this month and it’s my first time at this location. More information will be in my Newsletter! This first one is pebbles (crackle but it looks like pebbles). Wait […]
During my Woodland Park show. A wonderful customer bought my multi season fused glass aspens. Sadly before she got it home it was dropped and broke. As I’ve mentioned in the past. If someone buys a large fused glass piece from me and they break it (within a couple of […]
A few blogs ago I talked about my commercial fused glass soap dishes. The one is for a hotel in California. I made 200 fused glass soap dishes. It was a lot of work. This is tough glass so it’s not your typical fusing schedule or cutting. First I cut […]
I’ve had a very productive fused glass week! First, Jo came by on Friday and picked up her prize. Actually she chose a necklace to match her earrings (so she took the $25 off of the price)! Wow they look great on her!! And it matches her shirt perfectly!! […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about adding colored decals to fused glass. My friend also wanted some sepia choices. So I made her a sepia fused glass night light and magnet. The nice thing about custom sepia decals is that they are fused on so they can be […]
I love taking fused glass classes and learning new techniques. But I’ll never forget my first fused glass instructor. Her name is Coral, from full spectrum, here in Colorado Springs. I wrote about her several years ago, but I want to write about her again. […]
First if ya’ll have never been to this event it’s fabulous. Some real artists. In fact my daughter and I struggled limiting what we bought. My favorite is a copper sculpture made by Judy and Dave. It’s truly amazing artwork and wonderful people! Second it’s a […]
In my Fresh From the Kiln this month, I showed a few of the plates (for the wall) with hand printed decals. These decals are full color verses the sepia decals I can make. One draw back is that the hand-printed colored decals are baked onto the glass instead of […]
First full disclosure, I’ve “talked” to Mark Hufford (Fused Glass Artist / Painter) many times via Facebook, email, and messaging. In fact, I begged him to teach here in Colorado and I’m ecstatic that he will be teaching in Denver next year (yes, that’s how booked he is)!! Obviously, I’ll […]
I love textured molds, whether it’s an image like the Tree of life or just a design texture. July’s mold of the month is a texture mold called Lady in the Woods and she’s beautiful. Similar to green man, but it’s a woman with flowers. The interesting thing about textured […]
