Sometimes I don’t need a complicated plan—I just start making little pieces of glass and see where they take me! For these first three pieces, I started with handmade glass flowers and then used glass paint to add stems and other details. I added leaves, little bits of green glass […]
I had some handmade copper glass in my studio that I had created using glass and copper sparkle paint, and I decided it was finally time to put it back into use! Previously, I turned the glass into these fused glass nightlights, using a couple of different techniques for the […]
When I create these small, fused glass pieces, I didn’t know what they’d eventually become—a nightlight, suncatcher, votive, or simply a little piece of art. I just start creating and see where the glass takes me! The first piece shown here was made using pressed glass and colorful glass dots, […]
I absolutely love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. There’s just something magical about turning a little piece of glass into a tiny holiday treasure. These are a few ornaments I made and finished just after Christmas last year — and I’m only now getting around to sharing them. (Better late […]
Aspens are one of my favorite art pieces I make in fused glass. Living in Colorado, I’m surrounded by these lovely trees, and I never get tired of their movement, their quiet beauty, or the way they change with the seasons. I also love incorporating the animals we’re lucky to […]
One of the things I love most about fused glass is its incredible ability to transform—again and again. A few months ago, I shared a blog post about the vase in the first picture (and another piece that was a beautiful shade of blue, though I can’t seem to find […]
I often write about my pocket hearts and crosses, but another casted fused glass piece I truly love making is my fused glass bears. These bears are a bit larger than my hearts, and they hold such a special place in my heart. For me, each one symbolizes strength, resilience, […]
Not long ago, I accidentally broke one of my favorite fused glass vases. I was heartbroken—how could I throw away something so beautiful? Fused glass has a way of capturing not just light, but little pieces of your soul. So instead of mourning the break, I asked myself: What kind […]
For April I am conducting the following “your choice of fused glass project” classes. I’m not a big fan on everyone making the same thing so I let my students make a myriad of different fused glass projects including: votive, night light, art piece, plant stake, magnet, casting, jewelry, etc. […]

What that means is each student can make a fused glass project of their choice including: votive, night light, art piece, plant stake, magnet, casting, jewelry, etc. Classes cost starts at $30 (price depends on your […]

I love making fused glass bears, they are bigger than my casted hearts. I recently made a few more and wanted to share them with you. Each one is beautiful. They are a bit difficult to display, however here are just some ideas. They can also just be by themselves […]
So we’ve been to Westcliffe several times, but I haven’t shown you the pictures. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trips to my little piece of heaven. The first group should be no surprise – flowers. Some were planted and some are wild. BTW when I say […]
