I love textured molds. I bought a new one recently, a fairy. I also have a Mermaid that I haven’t used. I made three fairies and one mermaid. I think they are beautiful. I’ve kept them as sculptures but can slump them into bowls as well but they can’t be […]
I make fused glass soap dishes for large hotels in Florida and Arizona but I also make soap dishes for small hotels. I’ve been making soap dishes for a small hotel in California for quite some time. I made another order recently. She is very understanding. When we first started […]
After making Marilyn’s fused glass aspens I liked them so much I decided to make more. I loved the bears so much that I had Tracy make me some other animals. Here they are, I just love them and can’t tell you which one I liked the most. Which is […]
Lately I’ve been making a lot of fused glass soap dishes for various hotels. I thought I’d make some fun ones for my customers. Some with cutouts and some piecing together glass. Below are some of my cutout dishes. They can be used for so many things – first they […]
I’ve written about my good friend Marilyn several times. She has been a friend for over 15 years and has supported my fused glass business wholeheartedly. She’s bought fused glass from me numerous times over the years. In fact, it was her cabin we stayed in while we were in […]
While I was at Doherty craft show I had a couple of questions about earrings. The first one was just simply changing out fish hooks for levers. It was an easy change and I did them right there within 5 mins. Additionally while I was at the craft show one […]
During the Doherty craft show one of my long time customers bought a nightlight and as I was about to ring it up I dropped and broke it. Ironically it was right after she said it’s amazing your pieces don’t break. I said oh they will if you drop them […]
I just completed a commercial order of 48 cheese plates. I can’t call them recycled because since it was a large order I bought the bottles. They are quite large and very cool. Thank you to the restaurant that ordered them. The restaurant consistently supports me and my business. Thank […]
I love a challenge and one of my customers and friends asked me to make a poinsettia. There are a couple of different texture molds that I showed her. She asked me if I minded making both and I told her absolutely not. I made some test sheets and we […]
My fused glass commercial soap dish order is complete. This was the 4th style with the order and this one alone was over a 1000 piece order. It took me several months and my good friend Tracy helped me with it. Thank God for Tracy. Here are just a few […]
I love glass. I love getting it for myself and I love giving it as gifts. This year I gave small glass dishes and magnets to my co-workers. I put a lot of thought into each one, thinking about what each person likes. Here are the magnets. I made each […]
I had my last craft show of the year 4-5 December. It was a great show. I got to see some old friends and meet new ones. Thank you for everyone who came by. I really like Doherty because it’s 2 days and much easier on my body with set […]
In October I wrote a post about my new faux stained glass ornaments. I took them to my shows at Liberty and Rampart. Obviously I sold some as ornaments but I also had a customer ask me if I could change the one below into a nightlight. Because it had […]
I love flowers and I love making fused glass flowers. Obviously I’ve shown my big flowers – that I just love! But I haven’t shown many of my tiny fused glass flowers. I think they are beautiful and so very versatile. First they can be left flat, or slumped, and […]
