I received another commercial fused glass order recently. The order was for 25 fused glass dessert dishes. We talked it through, and she wanted a bowl / plate shape. I showed her a plain clear dish and one with texture, pictured below. Which do you think she chose? The texture […]
Recently, I took a Glaskolben ornament class at D&L with my good friend Tracy. I took this class several years ago and to put it plainly – I sucked at it. The picture on the left are my ornaments from my first glaskolben class I took years ago – crap! […]
I will have a Fused Glass Home Show on 8 October 0900-1600. Anyone who comes to one of my home shows will receive a free fused glass gift – no purchase necessary. My home shows are a lot of fun because I normally have more available than my official shows […]
Last Saturday, I had a wonderful small dish fused glass class. I really like the small group and we had lots of fun, and they did a fabulous job. Believe it or not there is a lot of prep work to get ready for a fused glass class, even for […]
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 […]
My good friend Tracy and her friend Geri came over for an impromptu Fused Glass Christmas Tree Class. We had a good time. They used vitrigraph, dots, and did a fabulous job. We made several and they gave me some recommendations for additional color of trees. The first one is […]
I’ve mentioned my friend Merle several times. She’s an amazing Gourd artist. Below are the gourds I’ve gotten from her. The big one is one she made specifically for me the other I traded with her at an art show. She’s taken a few glass classes from me and the […]
A few months back I asked my good friend Tracy to cut bears out of special reactive glass (petrified wood and robin’s egg blue) for me. She cut 4 bears out and I fired them. They turned out magnificently. Here they are – aren’t they stunning? I have been struggling […]

One of my goals this year is to use my glass and to use my glass part sheets I’ve created and not used. These are all made with 96 COE glass. This post is about some of the small dishes I’ve made. This first set of pictures is my small […]
When I go to an art or craft show I always try to buy a piece of Art from a fellow artist. The Woodland Park arts festival this year was no exception. However, what I bought is exceptional. It’s a knife, but not any knife it’s a glass knife. How […]
I’ve made many fused glass photo stands. Normally it’s the ones below, simple but elegant. There’s nothing like real photos and these are great to go anywhere and make perfect gifts. This is a very different type of fused glass photo frame. I love them so much that I made […]
Wow, I had another fused glass class thanks to Merle. This class was just Merle and her long time friend Kathy. They’ve been friends for 60 years! Kathy made 3 techniques including 3 Christmas Trees. They turn out so great, I love them. She also made the biggest pendant I’ve […]
As those who follow me know, I am a retired Air Force Veteran. I love the our National Anthem, the American flag, and of course America. So I thought I’d make pieces of fused glass artwork with my own screens (more to come in the July’s DyK) a few to […]
