Last time we went to Westcliffe we picked up some salt and pepper from the Amish Deli. The cool thing about the salt and pepper is it comes in plastic bowls. So, I decided to buy wooden salt and pepper bowls with lids and of course I decided to put […]

I received another order for fused glass caviar dishes for a small restaurant in Colorado. I’ve made these before and they are a bit complicated. I used a grinder and saw in addition to hand cutting the pieces. I also hand cut the mold to slump the glass into. It […]

I’ve been making a lot of fused glass stirrers and flower stakes lately. I normally keep them in a bottle vase, but I’ve made so many I’ve ran out of bottle vases, so I’ve decided to make some bottle glass vases more. These first two bottles have texture so I […]
I enjoy making fused glass stirrers and flower stakes. A friend of mine asked me to make her a few so I made her the five below and then made several. It’s funny how some of the bulbs on the bottom round out nice and others stay square. It doesn’t […]
I pull vitrigraph and cane pretty regularly, but I’m not an expert at creating fancy cane / murrine. So, when one of my good friends was selling cane, I decided to buy some of her COE 96 cane. They remind me of the old fashion stick candy, so colorful. It’s […]
