So my class with Bob and Liesbeth Leatherbarrow is over and my time on Salt Springs Island has ended, such a sad time. I enjoyed Bob’s class and trip for so many reasons; obviously the fused glass, but also I got to spend time with one of my good friends, […]
Yesterday I blogged about some of my time on Salt Springs Island. I really love the island and the people of course, the reason why I went to the island is to take a class with Bob Leatherbarrow or should I say the King of Crackle. But there is so […]
Wow I’ve been busy. I just got back from an amazing fused glass class with Bob Leatherbarrow. I had so much fun that I didn’t do any blogs while I was there. So I’ll do several back to back documenting my journey while at Salt Springs Island, British Columbia. For […]
In January and February. I blogged about one of my fabulous customers who bought one of my handcrafted fused glass aspens and broke it. I’ve always told my customers if they break a fused glass piece that they buy from me to bring me the pieces and I’ll make them […]
A famous fused glass Artist Boyce Lundstrom coined the phrase never refuse to refuse and I’m a firm believer in that. Earlier this month and last month I wrote blogs about refusing broken glass pieces. This one is about a fused glass piece that […]
As I mentioned in my fused glass votives blog, Tulip – Exquisite gifts / fantastic finds (the store that show cases my fused glass in Denver) also asked me to make some fused glass candle shields. I like fused candle shields because I can […]
Each month I tried to do a review of some kind of the myriad of Fused Glass DVDs, E-books, Magazines, tutorials, etc. that I watch or read. I watch several of the Glass Pattern Quarterly (GPQ) webinars. Some I watch during the first run, so to speak, so I can […]
In addition to my shows and commercial orders, I also make fused glass pieces for the shop in Denver, Tulip, that show cases my fused glass. The last time I visited Patty she asked me to make some fused glass votives and candle shields. Typically when I fire fused glass […]
The majority of last month I was busy with commercial fused glass orders so those processes and fused glass pieces monopolized the majority of my newsletter blogs. I got a short break from commercial orders and I’ve actually been enjoying my big kiln for over a week. Wow have I had […]
Last month I wrote a blog about a fused glass bowl I made out of the remains of once was a beautiful fused glass Aspen sconce. As I mentioned in that blog that the Aspen was so large (with a little extra glass), I was able to make two bowls. […]
I don’t think I’ve ever taken a picture inside my big kiln, this blog will change that. I have so many awesome pieces in the kiln I thought I’d show a quick snapshot before shutting the lid. This is whats called a slump fest I 13 different pieces […]
During a recent show one of my great customers who had bought one of my beautiful fused glass aspens came back with a bag. Inside the bag was the broken aspen. She told me that the aspen was on a shelf and got knocked to the floor. Anytime someone buys […]
This month I’ve been blogging a lot about my commercial / production fused glass orders. I mentioned that I have representatives helping me get commercial fused glass orders. Sometimes they email or call me and ask for something specific. Sometimes they […]
One of the myriad of reasons I love fused glass is how other art-forms can be incorporated into fused glass. I’ve mentioned art clay, stamping, flowers, and so many other arts. In several of my Facebook groups I follow I came across a post about Rangoli, according to Wikipedia “the […]
