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 […]

Last month I wrote about my amazing fused glass butterflies. Laurie Spray created the butterfly tutorial but also the a dragonfly tutorial. In preparation for this post I read a little about dragonflies. Did you know (according to Wikipedia) dragonflies are insects and have two pairs of strong, transparent wings, […]
I love learning. Recently my friend Lela and I took a wood and macrame class at AR workshop. It was my first time at one of these shops. We really had a great time. Lots of options. Of course the only thing I didn’t care for was Lela and I […]
This month I took a Mandala Glass Dotting class. I’ve seen dotting on rocks and wanted to see how dotting would work on Glass. Painting with dots (I just call it dotting) it’s also known as pointillism and is basically making dots of different sizes with paint. Recently the types […]
Last month I briefly talked about my silk screen printing fused glass artwork. Well this month I bought a tutorial from Laurie Spray regarding how to make screen printed butterflies. I’ve talked about Laurie many times, she’s one of my favorite instructors and I’ve taken several classes from her (including […]
I’m not sure what to call this new fused glass technique. I learned it from an e-book, her focus was on making hearts which is the first pieces I made. Aren’t they interesting? I really love the process, it’s pretty time consuming but I love the different techniques that go […]
