First, I want to let y’all know I will NOT be at Liberty’s craft show. For that show I have to set up, hold the show, and tear down in 1 day and that’s just too much for me and my old body. Second, I will not have a home […]
I love flowers. Earlier this month I made a fused glass flower wave for my friend who is retiring. I loved it and the extra one so much, I think they are just so pretty. So I made myself a flower wave. Isn’t it pretty? I used the same glass […]
I had a scheduled fused glass ornament class recently, however, I also hold private classes as long as there are 3 people in the class. Brenda, the person who encouraged me to give fused glass classes to begin with, asked for a private fused glass ornament class for her and […]
I conducted a Fused Glass ornament class this month. I hope Chris, Julie, and Jeremy had as much fun as I did. The three of them also took a small dish class with me a few weeks ago and I showed them some sample ornaments and they signed up for […]
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. […]
I received another commercial fused glass order recently. The order was for 25 fused glass dessert dishes. We talked it through, and she wanted a bowl / plate shape. I showed her a plain clear dish and one with texture, pictured below. Which do you think she chose? The texture […]
Recently, I took a Glaskolben ornament class at D&L with my good friend Tracy. I took this class several years ago and to put it plainly – I sucked at it. The picture on the left are my ornaments from my first glaskolben class I took years ago – crap! […]
In 2019 before covid we had a fabulous family reunion. My mom is in a nursing facility, so we try to have them every two years at most. Here are some of my pictures. The far right are my brothers and sisters with my momma (7 out of 10 isn’t […]
I will have a Fused Glass Home Show on 8 October 0900-1600. Anyone who comes to one of my home shows will receive a free fused glass gift – no purchase necessary. My home shows are a lot of fun because I normally have more available than my official shows […]

Last Saturday, I had a wonderful small dish fused glass class. I really like the small group and we had lots of fun, and they did a fabulous job. Believe it or not there is a lot of prep work to get ready for a fused glass class, even for […]
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 […]
My good friend Tracy and her friend Geri came over for an impromptu Fused Glass Christmas Tree Class. We had a good time. They used vitrigraph, dots, and did a fabulous job. We made several and they gave me some recommendations for additional color of trees. The first one is […]
I’ve mentioned my friend Merle several times. She’s an amazing Gourd artist. Below are the gourds I’ve gotten from her. The big one is one she made specifically for me the other I traded with her at an art show. She’s taken a few glass classes from me and the […]
