An old friend of mine, Denise, came to town recently, and she and her sister Teresa decided to take a fused glass class with me. It was such a treat to spend creative time together! As always, I had free gifts out for my students to choose from, including pocket […]
As many of you know, I absolutely love making fused glass hearts—almost as much as I love giving them as gifts. There’s just something special about sharing a little piece of handmade art that comes straight from the heart (pun intended!). When I retired from my position at the MDA, […]
I’ve written numerous posts about fused glass hearts and hopefully you don’t mind. I love making casted fused glass because they are fun and relatively easy to make. I love giving them away and teaching people how to make them. For Christmas I gave these away to my friends. I’ve […]
I love using Murrini in my fused glass art work. Most is 96 COE or 90 COE. Here are just a couple of recent examples. Murrini doesn’t just come in 90 & 96 COE, it also comes in 104 COE. In case you didn’t know the higher the COE the […]
I love Murrine and Millefiori. In fact I buy it all the time from several different artists. Murrine is little pieces of glass that are cross-sections of cane that reveal images. According to Wikipedia, murrine “first appeared in the Middle East more than 4,000 years ago and was revived by Venetian […]

One of my goals is always to try new fused glass techniques. Well, here is one of them, it’s based on a Tabitha’s YouTube video. She is amazing and she create a myriad of the murrine and millefiori. I love her glass accessories and her videos are just so fun. […]

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so I’ve been making a lot of Fused Glass Hearts, this month. I’ve used different techniques to create my heart, this first group are quite large and are casted. They are a bit big for pendants but make great pocket hearts. The next technique is a […]
In July I wrote a post about my fused glass sugar castings. In that post I said I couldn’t attach them to other things. Well, that turned out not to be accurate. I used some of the smaller ones on flower stakes. I really like them. You can still see […]
I decided to create glass art based on one of my myriad of tutorials. The class I chose is from Sarinda Jones, her curious mondo & patron class – Fused Glass Sugar Casting. I’ve wanted to do this for a while. I love texture and sugar casting has a lot […]

With Mother’s day coming up I was thinking about my mom, I haven’t seen her since Oct of 2019. She’s in a care facility in Tennessee but my amazing sister Joanne and her wonderful children go and see her as much as they can. Last time I saw Momma I […]
