Lately I’ve been making a lot of fused glass soap dishes for various hotels. I thought I’d make some fun ones for my customers. Some with cutouts and some piecing together glass. Below are some of my cutout dishes. They can be used for so many things – first they […]
During the Doherty craft show one of my long time customers bought a nightlight and as I was about to ring it up I dropped and broke it. Ironically it was right after she said it’s amazing your pieces don’t break. I said oh they will if you drop them […]
I just completed a commercial order of 48 cheese plates. I can’t call them recycled because since it was a large order I bought the bottles. They are quite large and very cool. Thank you to the restaurant that ordered them. The restaurant consistently supports me and my business. Thank […]
I love a challenge and one of my customers and friends asked me to make a poinsettia. There are a couple of different texture molds that I showed her. She asked me if I minded making both and I told her absolutely not. I made some test sheets and we […]
My fused glass commercial soap dish order is complete. This was the 4th style with the order and this one alone was over a 1000 piece order. It took me several months and my good friend Tracy helped me with it. Thank God for Tracy. Here are just a few […]
I love flowers and I love making fused glass flowers. Obviously I’ve shown my big flowers – that I just love! But I haven’t shown many of my tiny fused glass flowers. I think they are beautiful and so very versatile. First they can be left flat, or slumped, and […]
Yesterday I had another Arts and Craft Show at Rampart High School. I like Rampart’s show because I don’t have to set up and tear-down the same day. It’s so much work and hard on our bodies. Here are some photos from my Rampart booth. Just like Liberty show I […]
One of my customers asked me if I could make her a fused glass star tree topper. It was a bit of a challenge, but I love it when my customers ask me to do something I’ve never done before. Here are some pictures of my fused glass star, you […]
Last weekend I had my first art show in over a year. It was great seeing my customers again and sharing my love of glass. Here are a few pictures from my show. As always I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner […]
I love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. Additionally I like making stand alone (no pun intended). These little fused glass Christmas tree stands are wonderful. I haven’t glued the trees onto the stands yet so they can easily be changed out. I’m sure this design will also work for other […]
I love hummingbirds, I find them beautiful and fascinating. So many memories of hummingbirds. The first year I was in Colorado Springs I went to a hummingbird festival and learned so much about them (like their tongue splits and wraps around it’s brain). I also remember the first time I […]
One of the aspects of fused glass that I love is it’s versatility. I make fused glass with various symbols including ribbons and puzzles in addition to the zodiac and Chinese symbols. But one that you may not know about is the semicolon – ; normally they are tattoos but […]
This post are about some new fused glass ornaments I just created. The technique and decals came from a fellow artist and I love them. They were inspired by stained glass. These are 3 fused glass “stained glass inspired” ornaments that are very transparent. The first two have dichroic glass […]
There are several funny parts to this story about these fused glass pieces. First I made a dish years ago and used it as a napkin holder. And I loved it so much that I gave it to Sky for her new apartment. Below are pictures of it, in it’s […]
