This month, I hosted another fun and fabulous private fused glass class. Amber discovered me through Google (which always makes me smile!) and brought along her mom Amy, her friend Sam, and Sam’s daughter, Penny, for a few joyful hours of glass fusing magic. As a thank-you, I love surprising […]
Yes, another amazing and fun fused glass class — but this one was extra special! I had been asked to teach a parent and child class, something I had been a little nervous about for quite some time.Because glass can cut, I’ve always been very cautious about teaching children. Safety […]
This month I had a wonderful class with two talented students, which yes is less than my minimum of three students. I had a third student scheduled, but she dropped out and I didn’t have time to get a 3rd student and I didn’t want to punish my other two […]
In my December Newsletter I mentioned that I’ve changed jobs. This is germane to this post because now I won’t be going TDY (business trips) as much; therefore, I am going to have more classes each month (3 or 4). Just like my Valentine’s Couple’s class, I opened this “Your […]
I make a lot of fused glass stirrers, letter openers, plant stakes, etc and one of the best ways to display them are in the little vases I make. They are actually made out of a bottle. I use the top half for mushroom lights and the bottom make perfect […]
As y’all know I love the flowers in Westcliffe and I post pictures of flowers all the time. Here are some I posted last month. Not detracting from Colorado, Flowers, or Spring, I love Colorado in the Fall. We came to Westcliffe and took a beautiful drive to see the […]
So we’ve been to Westcliffe several times, but I haven’t shown you the pictures. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trips to my little piece of heaven. The first group should be no surprise – flowers. Some were planted and some are wild. BTW when I say […]
In another post, I showed you the Fused Glass Resin Mosaics I made recently. For those of you who follow my posts / newsletter you know I love flowers. I thought I’d add some dried flowers to fused glass with resin. I think they turned out really well. I still […]
For May 25th, I’d like to open fused glass class options up to y’all. Please let me know which fused glass class you want to take. Typically, classes are about 2 hours. No experience is necessary. Some of the supplies available for class including vitrigraph, frit, dots, murrine, etc. Max […]
I love making fused glass magnets. I’ve made several types. I have very tiny, fused glass cabochons and thought I’d put some on tiny clothespins. Everything looks better with glass. Perfect for the refrigerator and holding small notes. I also have tiny, fused glass magnets again perfect for the refrigerator, […]
One of my goals is always to try new fused glass techniques. Well, here is one of them, it’s based on a Tabitha’s YouTube video. She is amazing and she create a myriad of the murrine and millefiori. I love her glass accessories and her videos are just so fun. […]
When I was making the resin, glass, and shell artwork I had some extra resin. With my extra resin I decided to add dried flowers to some of my fused glass cabochons. This one is nice and smooth. It’s simple but really smooth. I’m not sure what I will make […]
Earlier this month I spent a few hours with my friend Cathy. Well, she went home and fused the flowers we made during our “glass date” then made even more. The ones we made are the top row then she made more, on the bottom row. We had such a […]
I’ve mentioned my friend Cathy, numerous times; she is a wonderful Glass Mosaic artist and instructor. We’ve been friends for several years and recently we agreed to have a glass date where we’d talk about mosaics and fusing, specifically incorporating fused glass into mosaics. Here is my studio setup ready […]
