I love getting orders for custom production fused glass dishes. Last month I received two back-to-back orders. At the same time I was also making my cousin’s tea dishes. It was busy and fun! The first order was fused glass ivory soap dishes. Here are some production pictures including fusing […]
My good friend Marilyn asked me if I could make her a fused glass sign for her office. She wanted it to say, “The Ovary Office”! I think it looks fabulous! I added lots of vitrigraph, millefiori, and murine. I love it, I hope she likes it too. I love […]
I’ve been chronicling my exchange of fused glass for a custom quilt with my cousin. I received it a month or so ago, albeit I didn’t have any way to hang it. At the recommendation by my cousin, I bought custom wooden hangers for both top and bottom of my […]
I love making fused glass picture frames. Typically, I’ve made fused glass photo stands like the ones below, simple but elegant and perfect for snapshots. I also have made several picture frames like the below. They are open on the front and closed on the back. They can go in […]

I love flowers. That being said, I am not much of a gardener, albeit I do love to make fused glass for the garden (lawn or yard) and for house plants. I’ve made several plant stakes, garden art, etc. Since I’ve tried other types of fused glass garden art, I […]
Anyone who knows me, knows I love glass. In fact, that’s why I started making glass, for me. It’s kind of funny, half the time when I make something I want to keep it. Anyway, here are a few more things I’ve made either straight up for me or I […]
Waterjet glass cut-outs are awesome, and I’ve used them in several fused glass projects. Here are just a few projects with waterjet cut-outs that I got from my good friend Tracy. Aren’t they fabulous, BTW I love my bears. When Tracy makes the cut-outs, she has lots of outlines leftover, […]
