In December Tracy came over and we created pot-melts. I have been trying to decide how to use mine, which is one of the reasons for the delay in writing this post. I love creating fused glass pot-melts because you never really know what you are going to get. Here […]
There are several types of glass including Bullseye Glass and Oceanside Glass and I use both for different reasons. Another type of glass is Wissmach Glass, it’s 96 COE glass. I normally use the Wissmach Luminescent glass, but they also have this beautiful glass called Prisma. I had a sheet […]
I thought I’d make some small fused glass pieces with inclusions. This first group is special mica pieces I purchased from a fellow artist. Some I cut out e.g., hearts, and some she cut out like the cogs. The ones that are transparent can be pocket charms or I can […]
During the Rampart Craft fair, a new customer asked me if I could make matching barrettes based on two, she found. For one of the barrettes, I was lucky and was able to make another barrette that was pretty close to the original (last 2 photos). It’s difficult to completely […]
A few years ago, one of my good customers asked me to create a 12 fused glass spoon rests with standup metal holders. It’s kind of funny it took me forever to get the firing schedule and size right, so you’d think I’d remember. She asked me to make her […]
Last month I made some fused glass Santa and Snowman dishes. These 3 photos are my snowmen dishes, I think they are so cute. I really like adding the vitrigraph to the bottom. I also made some Santa dishes. I like them too, especially the beards. I like them better […]
I received another commercial fused glass order recently. The order was for 25 fused glass dessert dishes. We talked it through, and she wanted a bowl / plate shape. I showed her a plain clear dish and one with texture, pictured below. Which do you think she chose? The texture […]
Last Saturday, I had a wonderful small dish fused glass class. I really like the small group and we had lots of fun, and they did a fabulous job. Believe it or not there is a lot of prep work to get ready for a fused glass class, even for […]

One of my goals this year is to use my glass and to use my glass part sheets I’ve created and not used. These are all made with 96 COE glass. This post is about some of the small dishes I’ve made. This first set of pictures is my small […]
In April I gave a fused glass class to four lovely ladies and this month I gave another one to three ladies. Thank you Merle for setting this class up for me. In my first class we made small dishes. Here is the class set up. I gave each participant […]
Several years ago, a restaurant in Florida asked me to make some fused glass copper textured dishes. I’ve made them several times, and I just finished another order for them. I really like making these dishes, they are so much fun seeing the different pictures in the copper. They have […]
I recently had an order for 200 fused glass ivory soap dishes for a hotel in Arizona. I enjoy making fused glass for hotels and restaurants. I love that hotels both big and small respect glass art and want handmade glass in their wonderful hotels. As you know I give […]
A few months ago, I made a couple fused coral or lace sconces. These “layered” fused glass sconces are a bit different, yet similar. I love this technique and think about make more. They look great with or without a candle behind them. I also put a little iridized in […]
