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 […]
I’ve written about my fused glass flowers a few times, but I’m so happy I finished a couple more of my fused glass flowers. The stamen are epoxied in and the center’s can change out. My flowers can hang or they can sit on as a center piece. Not only […]
I wanted to do a quick updates on some of the fused glass pieces I did in the last few months. First I finished some of the pendants from my fused glass show. The first two are the decal pendants. The two on the left are snaps and the two […]
A few months ago I made some beautiful fused glass flower scenes. I made some into magnets. I put two of them onto cards and gave them to my mom and mother-in-law for mother’s day. Recently I gave three away as gifts for three special ladies who weren’t feeling well. […]
Last month I wrote about several fused glass techniques and projects and I thought I’d better follow-up on a few of them. First I want to thank you for all your kind comments and emails. They mean a lot to me. Also thank you for liking and enjoying my travel […]
In last month’s Newsletter I wrote about some of my silk screened fused glass artwork. This month I’d like to show you a few fused glass silk screen jewelry pieces. I’ve just got started on the silk screen fused glass jewelry but the possibilities are amazing. Thank you Tanya from […]
Recently my husband and I have been trying to take trips more often. Mainly our trips are in Colorado, (other than Westcliffe). We’ve driven by Glenwood Springs a dozen times over the years but never really stopped, so this month we stayed there. There are a couple of ways to […]
On the 4th of July, my husband and I drove down to Westcliffe, CO. We just really love Westcliffe. When I go there I don’t worry, I’m really just in the moment. It’s funny because we don’t do anything big, but being in Westcliffe brings us joy. The drive is […]
As y’all know I love making fused glass flowers and I’ve been at it again. Of course I have the same problem that I had before. I can’t decide which stamen or center to use and I need your help choosing which looks best. the first set is my orange […]
