One of my goals for this year is to use one of my molds a month. I’ve had this wonderful mold that I’ve never used. I had this great piece of organic clear glass and decided the two were made for each other. In addition to making this fused glass […]
During my Doherty Craft Show I was asked to make a red and white iridized bowl but for the life of me I can’t remember her name. If you wanted me to make you a red and white bowl please email me. I actually made two fused glass bowls for […]
Liberty was my first school craft show. It was great seeing so many of my customers and friends. I enjoy hearing how they love my work and how they display my work. It really lifts my spirits and reminds me why I continue to create my glass. […]
I have 3 new fused glass pieces I want to show off. They are all made with clear glass and powder. I really like organic shapes, I think they are so interesting. They are more art pieces and so beautiful. I love the shape of this one and the colors, […]
A few months ago I did a fused glass piece that I just loved. I loved it so much I was going to leave it as an art panel. Well I didn’t have a stand that would fit it and I just loved it so much that I went ahead […]
Since I made some Halloween fused glass pieces I thought I’d make some Christmas ones too. It takes a while to make Christmas projects. Then I made a couple more Snowmen spoons and a couple of little snowmen dishes. I also made some fused glass […]
Guess what happens when you get cocky with creating fused glass? That’s right it breaks. I’ve made over 100 of my big production plates. But in my last few slump firings 2 of my plates broke. The first one actually took a small bowl with it. If you know about […]
I promised to keep ya’ll informed regarding my progress on my big order for the hotel in Florida. As I’ll discuss later in June’s newsletter I had a business trip to Germany which would have put me severely behind in my progress. So I decided to teach my husband […]
As I mentioned in my April Newsletter, I’ve been working on a 400 plate order for a fabulous hotel and Restaurant in Florida. Well I shipped my first portion of the order. I can not tell you how nervous I was. This is one of the toughest custom orders I’ve […]
Normally I sell my fused glass arts and craft shows during the year. About 7 total through out the year however, I also have different sites including Etsy , Artfire and of course my website. I must admit I’m horrible about updating my websites because when I’m home I want […]
I’ve blogged about Mica before and even wrote a DYK about it. I love mica, it’s a mineral and actually comes in a rock form but most people think of it as a powder. Mica is used in cosmetics and electrical components. For these pieces I used mica (gold, copper, […]
In addition, to the large fused glass production order I’ll talk about in this month’s newsletter “Did You Know” over the last three months I had several other production orders. The first one was soap dishes for a hotel in California. They have ordered from me several times and I […]
I’ve posted about my fused glass textured pieces before. I just love textured glass. These are my Suns’ The first one is the sun and the moon in iridized amber. It’s huge. Matter of fact, I didn’t think I had a stand that would hold it, but this stand is […]
Last year I took a class with Laurie Spray on cane’s and vitrigraph. I’ve used some of the blue cane in several pieces but I wanted to use some of the orange cane I made in actual fused glass pieces. I made 3 small dishes. […]
