My fourth and final Woodland Park Blog. I know I’ve been talking a lot about my Woodland Park show and it’s because it was a wonderful show. First, I want to thank my customers. Thank you for your support and for loving my glass like I do. I must have […]
I’ve written blogs about my “Buddhas” a couple of times: March 2019 and Nov 2017. I love them but they do take a bit of work. I made a few new ones for my 2019 season. I make 3 versions, the full version on the left, the partial in the […]
When I am at a craft fair I always walk around and buy something from a fellow artist. I do this for a couple of reasons; 1st I love all kinds of art, 2nd I like to practice what I preach – buy art from real artist not mass produced, […]
As you know, I do a drawing for those who sign up for my newsletter during each of my shows, including this weekend’s Mountain Arts Festival in Woodland Park. The winner of the $25 of free fused glass for the Mountain Arts Festival drawing is Vick. I have emailed them […]
When I got home from Breckenridge I decided I’d make some flower Lanterns. I actually made 4 but I messed up on the size of glass for 2 of them so I’ll have to finish them some other time. Meanwhile the first one is a small black lantern with 6 […]
While I was in Breckenridge I discovered they have what’s called Breck create. It’s right on Main Street and as we were walking around town I saw they had classes including a flameworking class. It was called pendants inspired by nature. I signed up (very reasonably priced). When I showed […]
Recently I had a request to carve a name into the back of glass. I tried a couple times but it kept being backwards. so I did some tests. Now if I need it to be on the front I know how to put it and if it’s on the […]
One of my goals this year is to use products that I have on hand. The one I decided to use this month is my wood bookends. So I decided to use my luminescent glass and textured molds. The first one is a beautiful glass and I used my butterfly […]
In my DYK (below) I wrote about my trip to Ottawa Canada this month. When I travel (for work or pleasure) I try to see something that’s glass related. When I asked my fused glass Facebook group they told me to visit Glass eMotions studio outside of Ottawa. The picture […]
I’ve been blogging about my fused class with Miriam in my last few blogs and before that I blogged about my class with Tonya. The 1 similarity with both classes is where I took the classes. It’s at D & L in Denver Colorado. I allow myself up to 3 […]
As I mentioned in my last blog, I took a class with Miriam Di Fiore. I so loved this class for all of the reasons I wrote in my last blog and because of the fabulous pieces I made in class. Well here they are. This first one frustrated me […]
In my last couple of blogs I have been talking about Tonya’s channel class. Well there is something else I want to talk about regarding this class. Tonya gave away 3 pieces of her fused glass artwork. I’ve never seen that before and I think it’s so very cool. I […]
In April I took a fabulous class called Channeled glass by Tonya Nelson. Here are 2 pictures that she created (also her photos). As you can see she’s incredibly talented. First I’d like to give a little background. The first time I took a class with this fused glass technique […]
Recently I’ve been blogging about my fused glass at the flipping peddler here in Colorado Springs. So I thought I should give a shout out to Tulip’s in Denver. I’ve had my fused glass there for several years and it’s a wonderful shop. Recently when I was dropping off some […]
