So we’ve been to Westcliffe several times, but I haven’t shown you the pictures. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trips to my little piece of heaven. The first group should be no surprise – flowers. Some were planted and some are wild. BTW when I say […]
We spent an entire week in Westcliffe and I have to tell you it was wonderfully relaxing. Our Christmas was quite and simple. I love the little tree. The presents we get are typically for the house. The first row of photos are two of the pictures we hung in […]
I love boxes. I have boxes of every shape and material from all over the world. Most of which I got when I was stationed overseas years ago from Germany, Poland, Czech, etc. In fact, the round one I got from Greece when I was in my 20’s. BTW these […]
In case you didn’t know this month was sunflower season in Colorado and they were everywhere, they are on the side of the road, in the medium and in the fields, fields and fields of sunflowers. Here are just a few, yep you guessed it, in Westcliffe. I can’t see […]
First, I have to show you a few pictures of some visitors we had at our Westcliffe property. Several of our wonderful Westcliffe neighbors told us about bears in the neighborhood. So, we went for a visit and guess what our trail camera caught. Luckily, we don’t have any food […]
We went to Westcliffe several times this month, and I wanted to post a few pictures of some of our activities. First, I have to show you our beautiful sunrise and of course our hummingbirds. They are so much fun to watch. It’s been a bit chilly and raining so […]
*I screwed up – sometimes when I have a similar post I duplicate it and use it as a base. I wrote a post about the beauty of Westcliffe but instead of duplicating it I “updated it”. Which means this post overwrote by beauty of Westcliffe from April. So, it […]
As those who follow me know, I am a retired Air Force Veteran. I love the our National Anthem, the American flag, and of course America. So I thought I’d make pieces of fused glass artwork with my own screens (more to come in the July’s DyK) a few to […]
I’m not sure if you’ve ever broken something that you didn’t want to throw away. Normally when I break a piece of glass, I just refuse it. However, I made this piece and it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. So, I did another firing to flatten it, then […]
I love unicorns and I’ve had these molds for quite a while. The unicorn is casted, then I slumped it on a mold that allows it to stand. Then I added gold. There are several steps to create this piece, but I think it’s pretty cute. I made the deer […]
After making Marilyn’s fused glass aspens I liked them so much I decided to make more. I loved the bears so much that I had Tracy make me some other animals. Here they are, I just love them and can’t tell you which one I liked the most. Which is […]
Another technique I talked about briefly last month in my Newsletter was my Frit mix pieces. My turtle and sea horse turned out beautifully so I made a few more. The first time I fired the bear, deer, and wolf they didn’t fire quite right so I added some more […]
