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 […]

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 […]
Last month I mentioned that Sharon from Tulip asked me to make some fused glass soap dishes. We’ll I went a bit crazy and made quite a few more. Remember these are not just soap dishes they can be used as spoon-rests and trinket dishes to name a few uses. […]
