I’ve been making a lot of fused glass stirrers and flower stakes lately. I normally keep them in a bottle vase, but I’ve made so many I’ve ran out of bottle vases, so I’ve decided to make some bottle glass vases more. These first two bottles have texture so I […]
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so I’ve been making a lot of Fused Glass Hearts, this month. I’ve used different techniques to create my heart, this first group are quite large and are casted. They are a bit big for pendants but make great pocket hearts. The next technique is a […]
I received another order for fused glass soap dishes for a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for this small hotel for quite some time. This time we decided on a blue and ivory soap dish. It reminds me of a beach – the blue represents water, […]
One of my favorite things to create is fused glass jewelry. I finished quite a few pieces recently and wanted to show them off. The pieces below are all pressed glass. Glass wants to be 6mm thick, but when you press it, it’s very thin yet durable. In the picture […]
For February I’d like to open fused glass class options up to y’all. What fused glass class would you like to take? All you need is 3 people, and I can schedule it for you. Typically, classes are about 2 hours. No experience is necessary. Some of the supplies available […]
Normally each January I write a DYK regarding how well I did on my prior years fusing goals. But this year I wrote about my trip to Hawaii, however I didn’t want to neglect my goals. One of the first things I wanted to do was update my website. I […]

I’ve mentioned my fused glass classes over the last few months, and I will always show off my students work. Last week I had a private class with some of my previous students. They wanted to make Fused Glass Ornaments and standing trees. As always, I had the room all […]
One of my co-workers asked me to make small fused glass dishes for her family (7 of them) and matching stirrers for Christmas. I love making fused glass stirrers and small dishes, so I didn’t hesitate to make them for her. First, we picked out the colors and then I […]
I participated in the Doherty High School Arts and Craft Show this month. I always love talking about my glass. My husband Dan is a gigantic help. I just don’t know what I’d do without him. Additionally, I want to thank Lela and Marco, setting up shows are extremely difficult […]
For those who follow my newsletters know I’m teaching fused glass classes in my home. I have taught several classes now and I really enjoy teaching. To show my appreciation for people who support me and attend my classes, I want to create a rewards program (i.e., a bonus class) […]
I participated in the Rampart High School Arts and Craft Show this month. I always love talking about my glass. I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner is Margaret. She can choose her $25 worth of free fused glass at my Doherty […]
Last month I had a commercial order for a small hotel in California. I’ve been making soap dishes for this hotel for several years. She’s always been understanding when I run out of the normal glass I use for her so we’ve changed the colors a few times. This time […]
I really love giving fused glass classes. Two people who have taken classes with me before asked me if their daughter could take a class with them. I’ve been a bit concerned about giving a class to children under 18 (glass cuts), but since Jeremy and Julie have taken two […]
