I love sharing my love of glass with my friends. One of the people I’ve worked with for several years is retiring. He has always been friendly and helpful to me. During the pandemic he wrote me about how he was spending his time at his cottage in New Zealand. […]
In July I wrote a post about my fused glass sugar castings. In that post I said I couldn’t attach them to other things. Well, that turned out not to be accurate. I used some of the smaller ones on flower stakes. I really like them. You can still see […]
I love flowers and one of my favorite things about Westcliffe and Colorado as a whole is the wildflowers. We went to Westcliffe last month and even though it’s toward the end of summer the flowers are still around, especially amazing sunflowers. Here are some pictures of one of my […]
It’s that time again, I so love the wildflowers of Colorado. The interesting thing about Westcliffe is that every time we go there are different flowers, and I love them all. I also have to take several pictures of each flower. This first group of flowers are from the side […]
Normally when I make fused glass plant stakes they are casted or cut design pieces. Here are some examples of some of my other fused glass plant stakes. They are all fun to make, I especially like using knives as the stake portion. But recently I saw a video on […]
I decided to create glass art based on one of my myriad of tutorials. The class I chose is from Sarinda Jones, her curious mondo & patron class – Fused Glass Sugar Casting. I’ve wanted to do this for a while. I love texture and sugar casting has a lot […]
I love screen printing on fused glass. Recently I sold several screen-printed pieces, so I decided to make a few more. One of the pieces I sold was my octopus’ dish on white glass. So, I decided to make a large black dish with white enamel and a large white […]
I made some more fused glass flower magnets. I find these flower magnets beautiful and special. I like giving them as gifts to people who are sick, or if they’ve lost someone. They bring light and beauty anywhere you put them. I’ve added various murrine and millefiori. I hope you […]
Recently two friends of mine bought a studio from the family of a wonderful artist who had passed away, Maxine. One friend chose the flamework supplies and one friend got the stained glass and fused glass supplies. My friend gave some of the unfinished stained-glass pieces to a stained-glass artist […]
I love flowers. In fact, last year when we drove over Grand Mesa, I must have made my husband stop 1000 times so I could take pictures of the flowers. When we went to Westcliffe last spring, I literally must have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers. And of course, […]
One of my friends and loyal customers is moving out of Colorado next month and as a gift I made her a very special fused glass “aspen” nightlight special in it doesn’t look like my “normal” aspen nightlights. As you can see I added a lot of dicrohic dots, a heart, […]
As I mentioned in my most recent post I took an amazing fused glass class with Craig Mitchell Smith in Milkweed Art studio in Phoenix Arizona. The last time I went to Arizona was years ago to Davis-Monthan Air Force base in Tucson when I was active duty. Anyway when […]
While I was making the scenic pendants I fell in love with the “part sheets” I decided to use some of them as bases for fused glass flower pendants, magnets, etc. I’ve made them before and I love them so much it’s difficult not to make more of them. Here […]
Earlier this month I wrote about my friend Ramona and the fused glass pyramid I made for her. I also made a custom red fused glass spoon rest for Ramona. Ramona and I worked together on the size and shape of the spoon rest. The first two I made were […]
