This blog should come as no surprise to anyone — hi, my name is Karen, and I’m completely addicted to glass, especially fused glass! I love everything about it — creating new pieces, experimenting with colors and textures, and teaching others how to fuse their own glass art. Whether it’s […]
Last year, I was in Korea during the Woodland Park Mountain Arts Festival and sadly had to miss it—but not this year! I was so thrilled to be back for the 40th anniversary of this wonderful event, and I’m so glad I made it. The festival is held in Memorial […]
Years ago, I took a class all about creating fused glass pattern bars. Recently, while cleaning and organizing my studio, I came across several of the pattern bars I had made a while back. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to give them new life! I decided to transform them into […]
I also made these super fun little dishes—and I’m absolutely in love with how they turned out! The 3-inch and 4-inch sizes make them perfect as small accent pieces, but what really makes them shine is their artistic flair. Each one is bursting with color and personality! You’ll notice the […]
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 […]

I love these little fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dishes are perfect for rings, tea bags, spoons, a small candle, or just as a pretty little dish. I went a bit crazy and made several, whether they are 3 pieces put together like the first picture or 2 […]

I’ve written numerous times about Festivitea and the fused glass screen-printed tea bags dishes and stirrers that I have showcased there. Here are a couple of the pictures from my previous posts about this lovely shop and my tea dishes. Well, my cousin liked them so much she ordered 15 […]
As I’ve mentioned before I love Beckwith Ranch in Westcliffe. Here are a few pictures around the ranch. It’s just so beautiful. This month they had a Harvest Festival. I wasn’t able to go but all of their events are wonderful – they had all kinds of activities. If you […]
I’ve written about Margo’s Tea Shop (Festivitea) a couple times now, but I just can’t help it. Margo is such a wonderful Lady and FestiviTEA a fabulous shop. This post is about the Sugar Skull workshop I took with my bestie Lela, her mother-in-law, and her son. The instructor Amanda […]
A couple months ago I wrote a post about my friend Jax, she mentioned me making some little fused glass dishes for a local tea shop. Here are some of the fused glass dishes I made for the tea shop. I created the screens and then fused each dish, printed […]
