Several months ago, I made a few fused glass dishes for the house in Westcliffe. I made these beautiful amber dishes. They are rectangular and perfect for dinner and breakfast. The key is not to put them in the microwave. I love my amber dishes, but I didn’t make enough. […]
Last month I wrote about some of the fused glass pieces (below are just some of the dishes) I made with Wissmach Prisma Glass, Reactive Blue Oster Pearl and Oster Pearl Reactive Blue. Such a beautiful glass. I loved this glass so much I decided to make pebbles and squares […]
I have my first Art show of the year on 6th & 7th August in Woodland Park. I’m excited, I love seeing my friends and longtime customers. As any of you know who come to visit me, I always give away presents for those of you who get my newsletter. […]
I have a myriad of fused glass artwork in my house, however I don’t have fused glass dishes for food. I have wanted to make some for quite some time. Finally, I decided to make dishes for myself. The first type of dishes I made are dinner plates. I made […]
One of my good customers and friends asked me if I had any fused glass poppies. I have the two below, one is pretty big and one I turned into an Ikebana vase. She wanted a smaller one, so I made her the poppy below, the first two pictures are […]
I love a challenge and one of my customers and friends asked me to make a poinsettia. There are a couple of different texture molds that I showed her. She asked me if I minded making both and I told her absolutely not. I made some test sheets and we […]
Sky and I made candles recently so we decided to make some bath bombs as well. Here are some of the supplies and some of our finished pieces. It was fun but it’s also pretty messy! I just wish I had more citric acid so we could make more. Of […]
For Christmas I made a co-worker a beautiful purple and green fused glass bowl. I love this spirit glass but, shockingly enough I can’t find a picture of the bowl I made her. It’s similar to bowl below, but I put an elephant in one of the corners. She liked […]
One of my Fused Glass goals for 2020 and 2021 was to use the glass and findings that I have on hand. Yes my name is Karen and I tend to buy glass and findings then like them so much I don’t want to use them. I know it’s ridiculous! […]
Sometimes when I make a fused glass art piece it just needs a little something extra. Whether it’s a bowl that doesn’t have a flat bottom. (I talked about this earlier this month.) Adding a base really makes the difference. In addition to adding a removable base for bowls vase […]
One of my New Years resolutions was to use more of the glass I have on hand. So in this post I want to show you one of my favorite ways to use small pieces of glass. I made mini fused glass bowls. First I prepare my casting mold and […]
During my home show, Sharon, came down from Denver and took several fused glass pieces for her store. I love Sharon’s store (Tulip) and I’m so glad she was able to come to my show and pick up some great pieces to take to Tulip in Denver, including: Small dishes […]
I’m asked occasionally do you hate selling your fused glass. The answer is yes sometimes I do. A few years ago I had a really difficult time selling my fused glass wolf sconce. I thought it was a beautiful, and it made me sad to sell it. […]
