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 […]
Recently, I’ve been making a lot of silk screen fused glass pieces. Since I have Jewish friends I wanted to make a few for them. In case you were curious Hanukkah is 10-18 December this year. I have two Star of David’s. One is larger and I made it into […]
I just made something so cute. I’ve always loved aquariums, In fact I remember the first time I went snorkeling (in Panama) and the first time I went scuba diving (Okinawa). When we were in Guam we (my daughter and me) got to go into a place (fisheye) where we […]
I made a fused glass Christmas wreath a while back, I liked it so much that wanted to make a few more. This picture doesn’t do it justice because the clear is actually iridized. This time instead of Christmas wreath I made a spring wreaths. I was inspired by a […]
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I have been making several silk screened fused glass pieces. For this post I want to make some gifts for some doctors and nurses I know as a thank you gift. I focused on red and white, but can make them in any color […]
A few months ago I made some beautiful fused glass flower scenes. I made some into magnets. I put two of them onto cards and gave them to my mom and mother-in-law for mother’s day. Recently I gave three away as gifts for three special ladies who weren’t feeling well. […]
Recently I had a sale on my Artfire account, a fused glass Lady in the Woods sculpture. Normally on my sculpture pieces whether it’s the Tree of Life, Green Man or Lady in the woods, I make them to order. Ironically the examples are all shades of green but they […]
I love all types of glass and I love seeing other glass artists work. I’ve been to Corning Museum of Glass, Murano Italy, Prague Czech Republic, London, just to name a few. This month I learned that the Sangre De Cristo Arts Center was having a showing of Dale Chihuly, […]
