I have been busy making new fused glass pieces for my show at the Holly Berry Festival 16-18 Sep. I’m asked a lot to make purple pieces. These are pretty cool one is a dark purple with Victorian flower texture and the other is a streaky […]
All I can say about this fused glass “bowl” is it’s amazing!! I say bowl but it’s really a piece of art. It’s 13 inches in diameter. It’s kind of like a watercolor. There are 5 koi all hand done and in various colors. […]
Guess what I’ve been up too. Actually quite a bit, I’ve been fusing like crazy because I have a big show this month and it’s my first time at this location. More information will be in my Newsletter! This first one is pebbles (crackle but it looks like pebbles). Wait […]
During my Woodland Park show. A wonderful customer bought my multi season fused glass aspens. Sadly before she got it home it was dropped and broke. As I’ve mentioned in the past. If someone buys a large fused glass piece from me and they break it (within a couple of […]
A few blogs ago I talked about my commercial fused glass soap dishes. The one is for a hotel in California. I made 200 fused glass soap dishes. It was a lot of work. This is tough glass so it’s not your typical fusing schedule or cutting. First I cut […]
I’ve had a very productive fused glass week! First, Jo came by on Friday and picked up her prize. Actually she chose a necklace to match her earrings (so she took the $25 off of the price)! Wow they look great on her!! And it matches her shirt perfectly!! […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about adding colored decals to fused glass. My friend also wanted some sepia choices. So I made her a sepia fused glass night light and magnet. The nice thing about custom sepia decals is that they are fused on so they can be […]
I love taking fused glass classes and learning new techniques. But I’ll never forget my first fused glass instructor. Her name is Coral, from full spectrum, here in Colorado Springs. I wrote about her several years ago, but I want to write about her again. […]
In my Fresh From the Kiln this month, I showed a few of the plates (for the wall) with hand printed decals. These decals are full color verses the sepia decals I can make. One draw back is that the hand-printed colored decals are baked onto the glass instead of […]
I’ve always found glass painting fascinating and I’ve watched countless videos but I have always wanted to take a class. I just learn better with hands on. Next year I am taking a class with Mark Hufford (a great glass painter). During one of my many conversations with Mark he […]
I have been busy, busy making fused glass photo stands. I love these matter of fact I’m keeping one. It’s light purple and dichroic (both expensive glass) so instead of trying to explain why it’s twice as expensive as the others. I really love […]
My mold for August is a Fused Glass wine rack mold. I chose a beautiful piece of glass so I didn’t change it a lot other than fused it with apiece of iridized glass which gives it depth. The glass as aventurine green, white, purple and really amazing. […]
I love my fused glass night lights and one of my favorite of course is the tree of life. I have several types of the Tree of Life decal, some gold and black, gold and white, only white, only black. I put them on pendants and I also love putting […]
I know I’ve blogged about this before but, one of the the aspects of fused glass that I love is if you don’t like it you can refuse it. When I took the glass class with Amanda in New York I mentioned that I broke one of my fused glass […]
