I love fall, the colors and the crispness of the air. Sadly, almost all of the color is almost gone, and it snowed today in Colorado Springs and in Westcliffe. Here are some fall leaves made from glass. Aren’t they pretty? The big one is new and pretty large. I […]
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 […]
A while back I made this amazing fused glass dish. It truly was a one of a kind dish. It had dichroic, iridized, and so much more. Sharon chose it to sell at Tulip gifts and cards. A month ago she called me and said that a customer bought a […]
This month when I was putting away some of my fused glass artwork from my art show, I realized some of my dishes had round bottoms. I like it dishes that are what I call kinetic (move), but some people don’t. So I took some of my favorite molds and […]
I’ve written about my fused glass flowers a few times, but I’m so happy I finished a couple more of my fused glass flowers. The stamen are epoxied in and the center’s can change out. My flowers can hang or they can sit on as a center piece. Not only […]
I so love to make something new and a challenge in fused glass. Recently I was asked to make a wedding cake topper. She wanted a north star with a dove. I was so excited because it’s something I’ve never made. I must admit I broke the North Star pieces […]
Last month I focused on fused glass techniques I learned from a Patty Gray class I took. For this month I’m going to focus on some fused glass techniques I learned from Tanya Veit from AAE Glass. I’ve written about Tanya many many times. The first time I met Tanya […]
Last year I took a class in New York and blogged about it. I didn’t finish one of my fused glass bowls. I finally finished it and thought I’d post the final picture. When I left class I left it as a shallow dish. But the next step would make […]
There are so many ways to create fused glass bowls. A new way I recently learned is called slurry’s because you create it using wet glass powder. I also added frit and vitrigraph. It’s great because you can add various colors and make various designs. These are 4 that I […]
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 […]
My Fresh From the Kiln for July is based on the review I wrote regarding Bullseye’s “Kilnforming With Rods” video. I’m not one to just like strips so I used a combination of some of the variations the video showed. I also […]
This one of my newest Fused Glass Bowls. I love how the pink, white, green, and purple swirl together. I also like the groves that the mold had that transferred to the Bowl when I slumped it. It’s simple yet elegant Fused Glass Bowl. I also […]
