When I was in Japan I took a flower arranging class called Ikebana. I was taught the flowers are at three levels, Heaven, mankind, and earth. I don’t have a lot of flowers but I thought I’d show off my new fused glass Ikebana Vase. The fused glass is a […]
In keeping with Valentine’s Day. I made some more fused glass hearts. These are all hand cut. I have multiple colors including dichroic. These two fused glass hearts are very large and could make great poker guards. I also made small fused glass dishes all with hearts. The first one […]
I love creating fused glass artwork. One of the things I focused on this month was fused glass snaps. I have three different sizes; large, medium, and small. This first picture shows my large snaps. Some are round but I also have a few that are different shapes. I like […]
I love fused glass pebbles or dots whatever you want to call them. They are so pretty and relatively easy to make, I make them all the time. I use them on mirrors, frames, as embellishments, to name a few. Anyway when I was making my most recent pieces I […]
This month I’ve made several new fused glass night lights and I thought I’d show them off. These first ones are made with iridized glass, ironically I made flowers. I also use both switch lights and sensor switch. I love my nightlights they are such pieces of art. These two […]
One of my goals for this year is to use one of my molds a month. I’ve had this wonderful mold that I’ve never used. I had this great piece of organic clear glass and decided the two were made for each other. In addition to making this fused glass […]
First as I mentioned in my Resolution / Goals blog I want to try to use not only my glass but my findings I’ve been hoarding (I mean saving). I always say everything looks better with glass. These little cases are actually mirrors. I always have little fused glass dots […]
I’ve been making fused glass poker guards for quite some time. Glass makes a perfect poker guard and since my husband is a big poker player I’ve made him several. That being said these two poker guards are definitely new for me. As I mentioned they were a custom order […]
Happy New Year 2019! Every year I do a review of my glass activities I accomplished during the previous year. 2018 was a great year for me — family, professionally, and in glass. As far as my family life; my daughter is still doing great in college, my granddaughter […]
In preparation for my large Kokopelli I did some tests. This is the first piece I made in preparation. I used photo resist, sandblasted, then applied the enamel. It looked a bit light but I thought it was because it was on clear glass. I like to make little dishes […]
I’ve blogged about my beautiful granddaughter several times. She is about to turn 1 year old. To celebrate her birthday I made my son a fused glass clock with 4 pictures of Mzia. The cool thing is the pictures can be changed out. They are magnetic so when they want […]
Doherty Craft Fair was my last show of the season. I only do 5-6 shows a year. I enjoy showing off my fused glass and talking about how much I love fused glass. As you know, I do a drawing for those who sign up for my newsletter during each […]
Last month I wrote about some fused glass beads I made but didn’t make them into anything until last month. Well this month I did the same with completely different fused glass beads I made. Below are some options for my new fused glass beads e.g., key chains, bookmarks, etc. […]
I’ve been busy making some more fused glass pieces for both my last show at Doherty and for Tulip in Denver. First I made some Christmas ornaments. These are some of my favorites. I also made two fused glass candle […]
