After my glass class with Laurie I decided to drive the scenic route, Hwy 1, to the bullseye resource center near San Francisco. What a beautiful drive. It was a bit foggy in places, but still a lovely drive. I really liked the lighthouse, so majestic. I may have to […]
The last time I visited Sharon at Tulips in Denver. She asked me to make her some soap dishes. So I bought one of her beautiful soaps she sells in the shop. I made a couple fused glass soap dishes, here are two that I thought matched the soap really […]
A while back I made some custom fused glass pocket crosses for Diane. When she told me why she wanted them it brought tears to my eyes and I decided to make some for my family. We had a family reunion this month so I thought it was the perfect […]
One of my amazing customers asked me for a custom fused glass poker guard. This is actually her second fused glass poker guard. Below is a picture of her first one. I love aventurine green glass. This one was a bit different. She wanted to have two dogs on it. […]
I made myself a present last year, a fused glass clock. What made it extremely special is the interchangeable pictures of my granddaughter. She has grown so much, so I decided I’d update my clock with new pictures. I love this clock it’s so beautiful. I just love being able […]
I stopped by Tulips in Denver today. I just love this store and not because she sells my fused glass. But because there are so many amazing artists (30 local artists) showcased in her store. I love how she intermixes my fused glass with her other art (ceramics, cards, soap, […]

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 […]
