While I was making the scenic pendants I fell in love with the “part sheets” I decided to use some of them as bases for fused glass flower pendants, magnets, etc. I’ve made them before and I love them so much it’s difficult not to make more of them. Here […]
Sometimes when I make a fused glass art piece it just needs a little something extra. Whether it’s a bowl that doesn’t have a flat bottom. (I talked about this earlier this month.) Adding a base really makes the difference. In addition to adding a removable base for bowls vase […]
I have had many fused glass instructors over the years and Tanya Veit from AAE Glass is one of my favorites. The first class I took from her when she was still doing traveling classes, It was mind blowing! I’ve taken numerous classes in her studio in Florida and watched […]
This month when I was putting away some of my fused glass artwork from my art show, I realized some of my dishes had round bottoms. I like it dishes that are what I call kinetic (move), but some people don’t. So I took some of my favorite molds and […]
Last month I wrote a post about a custom fused glass pyramid I made for my friend of mine. It was beautiful and I enjoyed the challenges involved in making the pyramid. Since I enjoyed making the pyramid I decided to create a couple casted fused glass hearts. I think […]
I love pictures of my granddaughter. I love taking the pictures and putting them on glass. One of the fused glass pieces I’ve made is a stand with pictures of Mzia. The flat ones are baked right on the glass and the others are on magnets so I can change […]
Earlier this month I wrote about my friend Ramona and the fused glass pyramid I made for her. I also made a custom red fused glass spoon rest for Ramona. Ramona and I worked together on the size and shape of the spoon rest. The first two I made were […]
If you follow my newsletters you know I create custom commercial fused glass pieces for various hotels and restaurants. This month I received a very unique order. A restaurant wanted me to create fused glass amber leaf bowls. I drew a design and then hand cut the leaf from two […]
A good friend of mine recently asked me to make her a fused glass pyramid. You may not know this but fused glass likes to be 6 mm or 1/4 inch thick. What I mean by that is when you put glass in the kiln at full temperatures (1450-1480) and […]
This is a difficult post to write, which is why it has taken several months to write it. For those who follow my newsletter and live in Colorado, you may remember I have some of my fused glass at Tulips in Denver. In August Sharon, the owner and my […]
I’ve written about my fused glass flowers a few times, but I’m so happy I finished a couple more of my fused glass flowers. The stamen are epoxied in and the center’s can change out. My flowers can hang or they can sit on as a center piece. Not only […]
I’ve mentioned Coral many times in my posts. Coral runs Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs. She is the person who taught me fused glass and I am forever grateful for the knowledge she has shared with me over the years. I’ve known Coral for 15 years, she is a good […]
As I’ve mentioned in several times in my posts how I create custom commercial fused glass dishes. Well this month I had a great opportunity to create soap dishes for a hotel in Arizona. It was fun because I painted each one, 210 pieces. It was so much fun and […]
I wanted to do a quick updates on some of the fused glass pieces I did in the last few months. First I finished some of the pendants from my fused glass show. The first two are the decal pendants. The two on the left are snaps and the two […]
