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 […]
I made some beautiful fused glass succulents this month. I’m really happy with them. This is the first time I used all of my succulent molds, so this blog also counts as my new molds for the month. I love this type. The one on the left is a periwinkle. […]
For Easter I thought I’d make couple of fused glass Easter treats. Here is my little fused glass chick. It’s made from frit in a fiber mold. Here is my little fused glass rabbit. I’m not 100% sure what I’m going to do with them but I think they are […]
I love learning, all kinds of learning. After watching Craig make stands for our fused glass Irises I decided to take a class in welding. So this month, I took an Artisan welding class, with my good friend Lela from General Air here in Colorado Springs. First I want to […]
Normally I don’t teach (my studio is always messy) but occasionally I will have a friend over and we will make a fused glass piece together. Lela – One of my good friends came over the other day to make a gift for someone very special to her. We made […]
