I’ve mentioned my good friend Tracy several times, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Tracy made a beautiful fused glass charcuterie board and I asked her to cut me a couple out with her water-jet cutter. Normally I don’t post process pictures, but since it’s just […]
I love making fused glass and I make various pieces when there is room in my kilns. I thought I’d show you some of the pieces I’ve made recently but don’t really fit in with other of my posts. Here are two photo stands that I made custom. Below are […]
I’ve mentioned Tracy before and I asked her to cut me out some Colorado symbols. I makes it so much easier having her cut them than me with a tile saw. Anyway, here are a couple of them that I made into ornaments. One has a blue background, one has […]
I’ve mentioned several times about commercial or production fused glass orders that I make for either hotels or restaurants. Over the last few months I’ve had several repeat orders. Here are a few. This one was for a hotel in California – soap dishes. Her free gift was also a […]
One of my customers asked me if I could make a custom fused glass feather pendant to match a jacket (left picture), I said yes of course. I use a casting mold to make my feather pendants (right picture). I used COE 90 glass for one and COE 96 glass […]
I’ve written about Tulip’s in Denver several times. I’m very lucky that they have some of my fused glass in their shop. It’s changed hands a few times and the new owners came by to checkout my studio and to drop off some pieces and to pick up new pieces. […]
This month I received commercial production order. It was a fun one but lots of work. First I cut out squares and then I cut circles. I cut over 200 circles and only broke 2, that’s crazy good!! Then I washed them then, painted them, full fused them, then slumped […]
In March and April I wrote two DyK’s about recycled bottles. I thought I’d show you what I made with some of the tops of bottles. I love recycled bottles. Here are some using different colored bottoms. I like the different shapes of bottoms and tops. I can include a […]
After taking my glass with Craig Mitchell Smith last month I went crazy making some fused glass vases. It’s not the same technique but I am very happy with them. The first two are a beautiful amber. I really like the bases. The bottom two are really fantastic. The red […]
Since Father’s day is only a month a way I thought I’d do post on a possible gift for a dad or husband. A co-worker asked me if I could make a custom fused glass tie tack and cuff links for a friend of his. He asked for blue with […]
I love making fused glass pocket hearts and crosses. Since it’s Mother’s day next month I thought I’d make some more crosses and hearts. I love giving them away as gifts (see my mother’s day post). Here are a few of the hearts I made. All of the hearts below […]
One of my friends and loyal customers is moving out of Colorado next month and as a gift I made her a very special fused glass “aspen” nightlight special in it doesn’t look like my “normal” aspen nightlights. As you can see I added a lot of dicrohic dots, a heart, […]
Last month when I got an order for recycled bottle cheese platters. I mentioned to him that I was trying to think of what to give him has his gift for purchasing the bottle cheese plates. He told me what he could really use was something to hold lollipops in. […]
In February’s Newsletter’s DYK I showed 2 new Fused Glass Letter Openers. I liked them so much I decided to make a few more. Below is a picture of the fused glass letter openers I made in February. Here are the new fused glass letter openers I finished this month. […]
