My fused glass commercial soap dish order is complete. This was the 4th style with the order and this one alone was over a 1000 piece order. It took me several months and my good friend Tracy helped me with it. Thank God for Tracy. Here are just a few […]
I love glass. I love getting it for myself and I love giving it as gifts. This year I gave small glass dishes and magnets to my co-workers. I put a lot of thought into each one, thinking about what each person likes. Here are the magnets. I made each […]
I had my last craft show of the year 4-5 December. It was a great show. I got to see some old friends and meet new ones. Thank you for everyone who came by. I really like Doherty because it’s 2 days and much easier on my body with set […]
In October I wrote a post about my new faux stained glass ornaments. I took them to my shows at Liberty and Rampart. Obviously I sold some as ornaments but I also had a customer ask me if I could change the one below into a nightlight. Because it had […]
I love flowers and I love making fused glass flowers. Obviously I’ve shown my big flowers – that I just love! But I haven’t shown many of my tiny fused glass flowers. I think they are beautiful and so very versatile. First they can be left flat, or slumped, and […]
Yesterday I had another Arts and Craft Show at Rampart High School. I like Rampart’s show because I don’t have to set up and tear-down the same day. It’s so much work and hard on our bodies. Here are some photos from my Rampart booth. Just like Liberty show I […]

I love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. Additionally I like making stand alone (no pun intended). These little fused glass Christmas tree stands are wonderful. I haven’t glued the trees onto the stands yet so they can easily be changed out. I’m sure this design will also work for other […]
I love hummingbirds, I find them beautiful and fascinating. So many memories of hummingbirds. The first year I was in Colorado Springs I went to a hummingbird festival and learned so much about them (like their tongue splits and wraps around it’s brain). I also remember the first time I […]
Last month I wrote a blog about selling some of my glass scrap. Well one of the people who bought some glass from me sent me a beautiful gift, actually she sent me 5. She sent me fused glass hearts that she makes. They are very beautiful and very large. […]
One of the aspects of fused glass that I love is it’s versatility. I make fused glass with various symbols including ribbons and puzzles in addition to the zodiac and Chinese symbols. But one that you may not know about is the semicolon – ; normally they are tattoos but […]
There are several funny parts to this story about these fused glass pieces. First I made a dish years ago and used it as a napkin holder. And I loved it so much that I gave it to Sky for her new apartment. Below are pictures of it, in it’s […]
Last month I wrote about the meet the artist event at Tulip Gifts and Cards. It was a wonderful event! Sharon did a fabulous job hosting it. I love the way she displays my fused glass art as well as all the other amazing artists. Here are some photo’s of […]
