Last weekend I had my first art show in over a year. It was great seeing my customers again and sharing my love of glass. Here are a few pictures from my show. As always I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner […]
I love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. Additionally I like making stand alone (no pun intended). These little fused glass Christmas tree stands are wonderful. I haven’t glued the trees onto the stands yet so they can easily be changed out. I’m sure this design will also work for other […]
I love fused glass jewelry. There are so many techniques and they are all beautiful. I’ve mentioned Tanya Veit many times, she’s an immensely talented fused glass instructor. She did a video a couple months ago on what I’ll call dot jewelry. I thought I’d do a quick post about […]
I love hummingbirds, I find them beautiful and fascinating. So many memories of hummingbirds. The first year I was in Colorado Springs I went to a hummingbird festival and learned so much about them (like their tongue splits and wraps around it’s brain). I also remember the first time I […]
Last month I wrote a blog about selling some of my glass scrap. Well one of the people who bought some glass from me sent me a beautiful gift, actually she sent me 5. She sent me fused glass hearts that she makes. They are very beautiful and very large. […]
One of the aspects of fused glass that I love is it’s versatility. I make fused glass with various symbols including ribbons and puzzles in addition to the zodiac and Chinese symbols. But one that you may not know about is the semicolon – ; normally they are tattoos but […]
This post are about some new fused glass ornaments I just created. The technique and decals came from a fellow artist and I love them. They were inspired by stained glass. These are 3 fused glass “stained glass inspired” ornaments that are very transparent. The first two have dichroic glass […]
There are several funny parts to this story about these fused glass pieces. First I made a dish years ago and used it as a napkin holder. And I loved it so much that I gave it to Sky for her new apartment. Below are pictures of it, in it’s […]
Last month I wrote about the meet the artist event at Tulip Gifts and Cards. It was a wonderful event! Sharon did a fabulous job hosting it. I love the way she displays my fused glass art as well as all the other amazing artists. Here are some photo’s of […]
I’ve written several posts about my custom decals and how I love making ones of my beautiful granddaughter. I typically put magnets on the back of the glass and then put them on my refrigerator or anywhere that’s metal. I made a clock when she was born and change out […]
A while back I made this amazing fused glass dish. It truly was a one of a kind dish. It had dichroic, iridized, and so much more. Sharon chose it to sell at Tulip gifts and cards. A month ago she called me and said that a customer bought a […]
Tulip Gifts and Cards is a wonderful shop that carries my fused glass. I’ve had my fused glass with Tulip since 2015. They support local artists. Tulip is having a meet the artist on 2 Oct (1300-1500) and have invited me to attend along two other artists. The two other […]
Sometimes I write a post then I change or modify the piece so I like to write a follow-up post. I wrote a post in July about my Colorado pieces. I added decals to the three other smaller ornaments. The other thing is any decal can be added not just […]
I mentioned last month that I’m working on a lot of production orders. Well with the help of Tracy I finished another order – 460 ivory glass soap dishes. It’s a lot of cutting, washing, and firing but it’s also very satisfying to get them boxed up and sent. They […]
