I love Murrine and Millefiori. In fact I buy it all the time from several different artists. Murrine is little pieces of glass that are cross-sections of cane that reveal images. According to Wikipedia, murrine “first appeared in the Middle East more than 4,000 years ago and was revived by Venetian […]
I love these little fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dishes are perfect for rings, tea bags, spoons, a small candle, or just as a pretty little dish. I went a bit crazy and made several, whether they are 3 pieces put together like the first picture or 2 […]
Several months ago, I made a few fused glass dishes for the house in Westcliffe. I made beautiful amber, blue, and green rectangular dishes perfect for dinner and breakfast. The key is not to put them in the microwave. I love my fused glass dishes, however I didn’t make enough. […]
One of my goals this year is to use some of my glass and murine. So this post is about 6 fused glass small decorative bowls I just finished. These are not food safe, they are home decor. The first two fused glass bowls are made with pinks and purple […]
I love making fused glass dishes. This fused glass bowl has so much going for it. First, it’s spirt glass and it’s purple. You may not know this, but purple, pink, and red glass is made with gold, which is why purple glass is so expensive. It’s also transparent glass […]
Every few months Sharon from Tulips will come by and pick out some fused glass art work for her shop in Denver. Here are a few pictures from Sharon’s store and how she displays some of my glass work . Here are a few pictures of her and Brian picking […]
I love making fused glass bears, they are bigger than my casted hearts. I recently made a few more and wanted to share them with you. Each one is beautiful. They are a bit difficult to display, however here are just some ideas. They can also just be by themselves […]
A few months ago, my friend Cathy showed me how to make micro mosaics. As a reminder, here are the ones I made with Cathy. Since I’m in Korea I thought I’d do some glass work and the only real way to do that is a mix media format. I […]
I love writing my posts and newsletter. I have a section for sells, but I don’t update the sales section very often. The other day I actually made a sale, and it really shocked me. I sold the poker guard below. I included a black velvet bag with the poker […]
I love fused glass eye glass holders. My favorite is the one with my children, but I also like my snap eyeglass holders, because I can change it out anytime I like. Making fused glass eye glass holders is a bit of a pain because the glass has to fit […]
I was going through some of my older pieces and decided to change them up a bit. First, I found some poker guards that didn’t really fit as poker guards. So I changed the 3 of them to large snaps. I love the tree of life. I made it into […]
I love making casted fused glass pieces. I recently purchased a casting mold for doggy paws. So, I started making fused glass dog paws and here are some one the ones I’ve made so far. I put flowers on one side of the paw. I like that they are 2 […]
Back in March one of my customers asked me if I could teach her how to pull vitrigraph. I love making vitrigraph so I had no problem teaching a basic vitrigraph class. The main reason is people are a bit scared to touch molten glass – I don’t understand why […]
During my visit with my sister earlier this year, she talked about her little house on a Florida river. Laurie has always liked fishing, so we talked about making her a fish related gift. Here are the pieces I made for my beautiful sister. I made enough fused glass fish […]
