This month I received commercial production order. It was a fun one but lots of work. First I cut out squares and then I cut circles. I cut over 200 circles and only broke 2, that’s crazy good!! Then I washed them then, painted them, full fused them, then slumped […]
I received another commercial order for fused glass soap dishes. I know I’ve posted these before but I never get tired of making them. This glass is fantastic. As you can see each piece is completely different. They are so elegant and beautiful. Besides being so different in color and […]
My cousin just redid her bathroom and wanted a fused glass soap dish. I made her a few options. She wanted blue and gray soap dish. I made her 4 options, the problem I’m not sure which is my favorite! I think they are all awesome. I really love making these little […]
For Christmas I made a co-worker a beautiful purple and green fused glass bowl. I love this spirit glass but, shockingly enough I can’t find a picture of the bowl I made her. It’s similar to bowl below, but I put an elephant in one of the corners. She liked […]

I’ve posted about my custom production or commercial fused glass orders several times. I’ve been working on a very large order this month, 200 small coupe dishes. They are a lot of work. I had to cut a blue and clear circle for each dish, then break them out, sand […]
This month I took a Mandala Glass Dotting class. I’ve seen dotting on rocks and wanted to see how dotting would work on Glass. Painting with dots (I just call it dotting) it’s also known as pointillism and is basically making dots of different sizes with paint. Recently the types […]

During my home show, Sharon, came down from Denver and took several fused glass pieces for her store. I love Sharon’s store (Tulip) and I’m so glad she was able to come to my show and pick up some great pieces to take to Tulip in Denver, including: Small dishes […]
I love adding glass to various things, essential oil holders, nail files, spoons, and anything else I can think of. I had two ceramic rice bowls I got while I was in Japan and thought they’d look even better with glass on top. What do you think? I also got […]
During one of my shows a great customer of mine bought one of my favorite bowls. It was a red screen melt bowl. It was hug, thick, and beautiful. Here is a picture of me and Carla with it. Literally the next day she told me it broke. We didn’t […]
This month my new mold is my oval dam mold and then an oval shelf ring mold. As I was going through my glass I found some blue glass and I thought it would be perfect for this mold. I think they turned out really well, I love the transparent. […]
