Several months ago, I made a few fused glass dishes for the house in Westcliffe. I made these beautiful amber dishes. They are rectangular and perfect for dinner and breakfast. The key is not to put them in the microwave. I love my amber dishes, but I didn’t make enough. […]
Normally each January I write a DYK regarding how well I did on my prior years fusing goals. But this year I wrote about my trip to Hawaii, however I didn’t want to neglect my goals. One of the first things I wanted to do was update my website. I […]
First, I want to let y’all know I will NOT be at Liberty’s craft show. For that show I have to set up, hold the show, and tear down in 1 day and that’s just too much for me and my old body. Second, I will not have a home […]
I will have a Fused Glass Home Show on 8 October 0900-1600. Anyone who comes to one of my home shows will receive a free fused glass gift – no purchase necessary. My home shows are a lot of fun because I normally have more available than my official shows […]
I have a myriad of fused glass artwork in my house, however I don’t have fused glass dishes for food. I have wanted to make some for quite some time. Finally, I decided to make dishes for myself. The first type of dishes I made are dinner plates. I made […]

This month when I was putting away some of my fused glass artwork from my art show, I realized some of my dishes had round bottoms. I like it dishes that are what I call kinetic (move), but some people don’t. So I took some of my favorite molds and […]
If you follow my newsletters you know I create custom commercial fused glass pieces for various hotels and restaurants. This month I received a very unique order. A restaurant wanted me to create fused glass amber leaf bowls. I drew a design and then hand cut the leaf from two […]
I had new commercial order this month. The clear and white soap dishes are a bit of a challenge to make because I had to cut six pieces for each dish. I so appreciate my commercial orders. It’s always a challenge to make multiples of fused glass artwork. The reason […]
A glass stringer is a straight tiny (1mm or 2mm) rods. I’ve never really used them before, because I prefer organic shapes and sizes of vitrigraph. However, I just watched a class (curious mondo) on how to use stringers and I must say I was inspired. I pulled out some […]
I mentioned Julie in another blog. She and Vicky come and see me at my shows on a regular bases and normally buy my fused glass snaps. Both Vicky and Julie have amazing taste. Last show Vicki bought one of my favorite fused glass vases of all times and during […]
In my March newsletter I mentioned that I was taking a Murrini / Cane / Vitrigraph Class in California. I took the class with Laurie Spray. I’ve made vitrigraph in other fused glass classes but it just touched on the technique. […]
