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 […]
Yes, I know it’s May but this post is to show how long it takes me to finish some of my fused glass pieces. I’ll make a piece but I won’t finish it. Here are some ornaments. I love making stars and tree ornaments. As you can see I have […]
I just finished 3 fused glass flowers. These are not my fancy flowers, like I learned from Laurie Spray but more simple flowers. This is me and my fancy flower. Here are my new fused glass flowers. I’ve put hangers on the back so they are perfect wall art. Here […]
I made some beautiful fused glass succulents this month. I’m really happy with them. This is the first time I used all of my succulent molds, so this blog also counts as my new molds for the month. I love this type. The one on the left is a periwinkle. […]

When I was in Japan I took a flower arranging class called Ikebana. I was taught the flowers are at three levels, Heaven, mankind, and earth. I don’t have a lot of flowers but I thought I’d show off my new fused glass Ikebana Vase. The fused glass is a […]
This month I’ve made several new fused glass night lights and I thought I’d show them off. These first ones are made with iridized glass, ironically I made flowers. I also use both switch lights and sensor switch. I love my nightlights they are such pieces of art. These two […]
Happy New Year 2019! Every year I do a review of my glass activities I accomplished during the previous year. 2018 was a great year for me — family, professionally, and in glass. As far as my family life; my daughter is still doing great in college, my granddaughter […]
Just finished up a custom order for fused glass flower sculptures. I’ve made several fused glass flowers before but what makes these different is they are meant to hang them on the wall. I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to hang them and even got advise […]
I have never been a big winter person. So I’m excited about starting to get ready for spring. I made some fused glass flowers a while back but never had a chance to finish them. In preparation for Spring I decided to finish them and I’m so glad I did. […]
