I don’t think I’ve ever taken a picture inside my big kiln, this blog will change that. I have so many awesome pieces in the kiln I thought I’d show a quick snapshot before shutting the lid. This is whats called a slump fest I 13 different pieces […]
During a recent show one of my great customers who had bought one of my beautiful fused glass aspens came back with a bag. Inside the bag was the broken aspen. She told me that the aspen was on a shelf and got knocked to the floor. Anytime someone buys […]
One of the myriad of reasons I love fused glass is how other art-forms can be incorporated into fused glass. I’ve mentioned art clay, stamping, flowers, and so many other arts. In several of my Facebook groups I follow I came across a post about Rangoli, according to Wikipedia “the […]
As I’ve mentioned many times. I love molds and I can’t seem to get enough of them. This fused glass bowl used two different types of molds. A texture mold and the slumping mold (square bowl). The nice thing about a texture […]
This is kind of a continuation of my last blog regarding commercial fused glass orders. One of the many challenges for me with fused glass is cutting circles. So imagine my dismay when for one of my commercial orders I had to make 10 huge fused glass bowls. Since the […]
Instead of calling them resolutions, I’m calling them goals. I look forward to reaching my 2016 goals for my fused glass. 2015 was a wonderful year for me professionally. I started a new job that I enjoy and I work with great people. I also was able to create […]
During my last Craft show after seeing my aspen night lights, I was asked by one of my customers if I could make a sunflower night light. So for December’s fresh from the kiln I thought I’d make a couple. I’ve always […]
It’s that time of year where I participate in several Arts and Craft bazaars where I sell my fused glass artwork. Last week I announced the winner of the Sugar plum gift mart (Sharon C). This weekend I participated in Coronado’s Holiday Bazaar. I must admit since so many of […]
Just a quick blog on a few of my fused glass rings. I have fused glass rings in copper, gunmetal, silver plated, and silver. Most of my fused glass rings are adjustable and can fit anyone. If you would like a ring changed to steriling silver there is an extra […]
This past weekend I had a booth at the Sugar Plum Food & Gift Mart at the Colorado Event Center. I had a lot of wonderful friends come by and I also made some new friends as well. What a great time; I had some fabulous conversations, made some amazing […]
When I was at Bob Leatherborrow’s workshop in Canada earlier this year I had the opportunity to use a wet-belt sander. I must say I loved using it for the edges of bowls and plates. Bob gave us some pointers to make it even easier so I really wanted one. […]
One thing about me is I like to check a place out before I truly commit. I did that with Leslie (of course it only took me minutes to decide she was amazing), I did that with Aquila, and I did that with Live, Love, […]
While in Portland I also visited Aquila Art Glass studio. I met Don, one of the owners. He was very gracious and showed me his working studio. Not only do they teach fused glass they also teach flameworking. More than teaching […]
During my trip to Portland for my bullseye workshop I also went to a Uroboros factory. I’ll be honest I didn’t know anything about Uroboros until I took this tour. Ken was extremely helpful and so was Carmen. Ken gave us (there were 3 of […]
