Recently I was able to go to the Farmer’s Market in Westcliffe. I like buying from local people. I love going and meeting the wonderful participants at the little market. Last time I met the owners of a Lavendar farm. This visit was very special, I met Ginny from Sak […]
I love making fused glass for commercial companies. One of my most loyal customers is a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for them for quite some time. I just finished another order for her. Here they are start to finish; in the kiln for a full […]

I have my first Art show of the year on 12th -13th August in Woodland Park. However, as I mentioned in my newsletter it may or may not be me. I hope I do get to participate. I’m excited, I love seeing my friends and longtime customers. As any of […]

First, I have to show you a few pictures of some visitors we had at our Westcliffe property. Several of our wonderful Westcliffe neighbors told us about bears in the neighborhood. So, we went for a visit and guess what our trail camera caught. Luckily, we don’t have any food […]
Earlier this month I did a post about the glass pieces that I made and gave to Mission Wolf. As you can see by the below it is a wonderful organization. I encourage you to visit the sanctuary (Saturday or Tuesdays). My husband, my best friend, her husband, and I […]
Last month I made a sign for my good friend (pictured below) and I liked it so much I thought I’d make a new sign with glass and wood. I made these Kanji (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) fused glass pieces a while back, but I decided they’d look better […]
I am a believer in giving back. I’ve donated fused glass pendants and other artwork to various charities. As anyone who talks to me or reads my newsletter knows I love Westcliffe. There is a place in Westcliffe that is a sanctuary for wolves. I’m not the best to donate […]
I wrote a post about my visit to the Westcliffe Train Depot a couple months ago. I noticed they have a small gift shop. I told them I’d be happy to give them some fused glass train magnets for them to sell and make a little bit more money. During […]
My good friend Marilyn asked me if I could make her a wooden sign with my screen printing. I created the screen, screen-printed, and I also sealed it. I love it, I hope she likes it. Marilyn has 3 adorable dogs, so I made some doggie paws out of glass […]

I love making Fused Glass Pocket Vase, including standing vases. When I was asked to make a few fused glass standing pocket vases for the Beckwith Gift Shoppe, I made them the following. The standing fused glass pocket vases below focus on the glass without design. The glass is so […]
