A few months back I asked my good friend Tracy to cut bears out of special reactive glass (petrified wood and robin’s egg blue) for me. She cut 4 bears out and I fired them. They turned out magnificently. Here they are – aren’t they stunning? I have been struggling […]

One of my goals this year is to use my glass and to use my glass part sheets I’ve created and not used. These are all made with 96 COE glass. This post is about some of the small dishes I’ve made. This first set of pictures is my small […]
Anytime I have space in my kiln I fire fused glass stirrers or flower stakes. I think they are fun to make and pretty easy as well. First you may ask, they look so similar what’s the difference. The main difference is with stirrers you don’t want the top decoration […]
When I go to an art or craft show I always try to buy a piece of Art from a fellow artist. The Woodland Park arts festival this year was no exception. However, what I bought is exceptional. It’s a knife, but not any knife it’s a glass knife. How […]
Recently, I wrote a post about my art show at Woodland Park Art Festival and the winner (Tammy). This post is a bit different. During my show I met some wonderful people. Two of the most memorable people I met was this amazing couple. She and I got to talking […]
This past weekend I had my first official Art show of the season. It was in Woodland Park, Colorado. It was their 37th year; I love this show, so many great vendors and such a beautiful place. It was a Saturday and Sunday; the second picture is of Pikes Peak […]
I’ve made many fused glass photo stands. Normally it’s the ones below, simple but elegant. There’s nothing like real photos and these are great to go anywhere and make perfect gifts. This is a very different type of fused glass photo frame. I love them so much that I made […]
I have my first Art show of the year on 6th & 7th August in Woodland Park. I’m excited, I love seeing my friends and longtime customers. As any of you know who come to visit me, I always give away presents for those of you who get my newsletter. […]
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 […]
Wow, I had another fused glass class thanks to Merle. This class was just Merle and her long time friend Kathy. They’ve been friends for 60 years! Kathy made 3 techniques including 3 Christmas Trees. They turn out so great, I love them. She also made the biggest pendant I’ve […]
As those who follow me know, I am a retired Air Force Veteran. I love the our National Anthem, the American flag, and of course America. So I thought I’d make pieces of fused glass artwork with my own screens (more to come in the July’s DyK) a few to […]
I received a new order for custom soap dishes. She wanted clear and a starburst effect. The first picture is the full fuse on a texture mold. The second pictures is the full fused pieces and on the slumping molds. The last picture is after they are slumped. Aren’t these […]
