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 […]
I’ve been writing about my friend Merle who makes gourdes and has brought her friends over for classes. One of her friends (and now mine) is Susan, she is a fabulous weaver. She used some of my glass to make me an ornament and a basket. Here is my basket, […]
In April I gave a fused glass class to four lovely ladies and this month I gave another one to three ladies. Thank you Merle for setting this class up for me. In my first class we made small dishes. Here is the class set up. I gave each participant […]
Last month I wrote about some of screen printed dishes. Of course, if you follow me you know I am addicted to screen printing: jewelry, dishes, etc. There are several different versions of pocket vases. This first set of screen printed pocket vases hang. I used various shapes and ways […]
A month or so ago Sharon, from Tulip Gifts and Cards, asked me for some purple fused glass photo stands. You may not know this but purple glass is made with gold so it’s expensive glass. Anyway I made her several to chose from. I’m curious which one she chose. […]
I have a myriad of fused glass artwork in my house, however I don’t have fused glass dishes for food. I have wanted to make some for quite some time. Finally, I decided to make dishes for myself. The first type of dishes I made are dinner plates. I made […]
Several years ago, a restaurant in Florida asked me to make some fused glass copper textured dishes. I’ve made them several times, and I just finished another order for them. I really like making these dishes, they are so much fun seeing the different pictures in the copper. They have […]
Recently one of my customers asked me if I could make fused glass stars. Normally when I make fused glass stars, I make them this way. However, for Sharon, she wanted them a little different. I made a few variations. She picked two different sizes – 12 all together. I’m […]
Last month I took a class with my good friend Lela. It was at a place called Brush Crazy here in Colorado Springs. You can make ceramics, wood, mosaic, painting, and more. We had so much fun, Lela is a special friend and I just can’t imagine my life without […]
I’m not sure if you’ve ever broken something that you didn’t want to throw away. Normally when I break a piece of glass, I just refuse it. However, I made this piece and it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. So, I did another firing to flatten it, then […]
I made some more fused glass flower magnets. I find these flower magnets beautiful and special. I like giving them as gifts to people who are sick, or if they’ve lost someone. They bring light and beauty anywhere you put them. I’ve added various murrine and millefiori. I hope you […]
Last Month I wrote a post about a gift I made for my mom for Mother’s Day. When I shipped it to my sister so she could give it to my mom it was in 4 different pieces. I wrapped it really good, so I was devastated, by the loss. […]
One of my good customers and friends asked me if I had any fused glass poppies. I have the two below, one is pretty big and one I turned into an Ikebana vase. She wanted a smaller one, so I made her the poppy below, the first two pictures are […]
