I love making custom fused glass artwork but I also making what’s called production or commercial fused glass pieces. I received an order for 335 soap dishes in March and finished it during the quarantine. This is one of my favorite glasses, it’s called spirit. It’s so pretty and has […]
In February, I wrote a blog about my fused glass flowers. Jackie told me I should make more. So I did. I made 3; a red, mauve, and clear iridized. My problem was I couldn’t decide which stamen to use, needless to say the center piece. So I had my […]
During my home show, Sharon, came down from Denver and took several fused glass pieces for her store. I love Sharon’s store (Tulip) and I’m so glad she was able to come to my show and pick up some great pieces to take to Tulip in Denver, including: Small dishes […]
In preparation for my fused glass home show this month, I made several new functional pieces and thought I’d show them too you. First was fused glass stirrers. They make great gifts (add a box of tea or coffee etc.). They are made of all glass. This is a different […]
I so love to make something new and a challenge in fused glass. Recently I was asked to make a wedding cake topper. She wanted a north star with a dove. I was so excited because it’s something I’ve never made. I must admit I broke the North Star pieces […]
I love adding glass to various things, essential oil holders, nail files, spoons, and anything else I can think of. I had two ceramic rice bowls I got while I was in Japan and thought they’d look even better with glass on top. What do you think? I also got […]
I love creating glass artwork that other artists can use in their art. I received an email a while back from Rebecca. She asked me for a fused glass donut. I made her two. I think they turned out great because I created the mold to meet her needs. Below […]
This past weekend I met up with an old friend. I’ve known John since my second base in Germany over 30 years ago. John hasn’t changed at all, it’s crazy. Here is a picture of John and me this past weekend. This is a picture of my friends (Glenn, Diane, […]
During one of my shows a great customer of mine bought one of my favorite bowls. It was a red screen melt bowl. It was hug, thick, and beautiful. Here is a picture of me and Carla with it. Literally the next day she told me it broke. We didn’t […]
My good friend Lela asked me if she could put my some of my fused glass in her Bed and Breakfast. What an honor, her bed and breakfast is beautiful and I love seeing my fused glass in such a beautiful place. Here are a few of the rooms with […]
I blogged about a Fused Glass class that I took with Laurie Spray in Sept last month. After reading my blog one of my customers told me I should make some more to actually sell, so I made 3. I think they are fantastic!! The cool thing about the flowers, […]
I have been so crazy busy these last few weeks. In addition to work, going to Steamboat, etc. I’ve been working on cleaning and organizing my studio. First I organized my molds. BTW have I mentioned I have hardly found a mold I didn’t like? I have all kinds of […]
I’ve blogged about my fused glass “Buddha’s” (Kwan Yin) several times, because I like them so much. I make my Buddha’s with ceramic molds by Laurie Spray. She’s an amazing artist and I’ve blogged about her several times as well. In addition to the Buddha molds, Laurie’s made several of […]
Something that you may not know is most metals, except for gold or fine silver, tarnish. Most of the time I use a sunshine cloth to keep my jewelry looking new. It cleans gold, silver, brass, copper, and glass. But I had a couple of really tarnished pieces and didn’t […]
