I’ve written about Margo’s Tea Shop (Festivitea) a couple times now, but I just can’t help it. Margo is such a wonderful Lady and FestiviTEA a fabulous shop. This post is about the Sugar Skull workshop I took with my bestie Lela, her mother-in-law, and her son. The instructor Amanda […]
A couple months ago I wrote a post about my friend Jax, she mentioned me making some little fused glass dishes for a local tea shop. Here are some of the fused glass dishes I made for the tea shop. I created the screens and then fused each dish, printed […]
A dear friend of mine and fellow artist asked me to make some little dishes for a tea shop. We haven’t had a chance to go yet, albeit I do want to show you the pieces I made and see what you think. Here are some of the fused glass […]
Earlier this month I did a post about the glass pieces that I made and gave to Mission Wolf. As you can see by the below it is a wonderful organization. I encourage you to visit the sanctuary (Saturday or Tuesdays). My husband, my best friend, her husband, and I […]
I am a believer in giving back. I’ve donated fused glass pendants and other artwork to various charities. As anyone who talks to me or reads my newsletter knows I love Westcliffe. There is a place in Westcliffe that is a sanctuary for wolves. I’m not the best to donate […]
I received another order for fused glass caviar dishes for a small restaurant in Colorado. I’ve made these before and they are a bit complicated. I used a grinder and saw in addition to hand cutting the pieces. I also hand cut the mold to slump the glass into. It […]
I love creating fused glass dishes, whether for art or as functional pieces. I just finished slumping several new dishes. Here are just a few of them. There are myriad of techniques and they are in various sizes. This first set is pieces of clear and blue fused together then […]
Last month I wrote about some of the fused glass pieces (below are just some of the dishes) I made with Wissmach Prisma Glass, Reactive Blue Oster Pearl and Oster Pearl Reactive Blue. Such a beautiful glass. I loved this glass so much I decided to make pebbles and squares […]
I love making fused glass dishes. I finished some small, fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dish below is made with a pattern bar. It’s perfect for rings or a small candle or just as a pretty little dish. This tiny 3-inch dish is a mix of iridized glass […]
In December I made fused glass pot-melts with my good friend Tracy. I enjoyed making them so much I made some more. Here they are in the kiln, I used a similar setup that Tracy and I used. Here they are, after fusing. I like seeing the pots with the […]
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 […]
