Before I left for my business trip I had a special custom order a pair of fused glass earrings. I’ve used the fused glass bubble technique before but I had never made a pair of earrings with the technique. I did finish them before I sent them, I just didn’t […]
When I go on a trip I always try to do something glass related. If there isn’t any glass related activity close by typically bring things with me to finish. Did I mention I have a bad habit of starting fused glass projects and not finishing them? One of the […]
I promised to keep ya’ll informed regarding my progress on my big order for the hotel in Florida. As I’ll discuss later in June’s newsletter I had a business trip to Germany which would have put me severely behind in my progress. So I decided to teach my husband […]
I love essential oils so I thought I’d make a few more fused glass essential oil pieces. For anyone who follows me you know, my believe is everything looks better with glass. So I added glass to essential oil pieces. I made a couple of essential oil pendants with fused […]
As I mentioned in my April Newsletter, I’ve been working on a 400 plate order for a fabulous hotel and Restaurant in Florida. Well I shipped my first portion of the order. I can not tell you how nervous I was. This is one of the toughest custom orders I’ve […]

I mentioned in an earlier blog this month I went back to Rhode Island. I’ve been to Newport twice before an I wanted to go to Thames glass and do a quick glass blowing intro. The last time I did glass blowing it was in Oregon. I enjoyed it very […]
As many of those who follow me know my day job takes me away on business trips (or in Air Force terms – TDY) quite a bit. April was no exception, as I mentioned in my April newsletter I spent a few days in Montgomery. After Montgomery I went back […]
I’ve blogged about Mica before and even wrote a DYK about it. I love mica, it’s a mineral and actually comes in a rock form but most people think of it as a powder. Mica is used in cosmetics and electrical components. For these pieces I used mica (gold, copper, […]
As I’ve mentioned recently I’ve had a lot of custom fused glass orders. Here is another custom fused glass order I finished recently. I really like these spoon-rests. I made 12 fused glass spoon-rests for a great customer of mine. […]
I’ve blogged about my fused glass flower pockets before. This time I thought I’d make some fused glass flower hangers, which instead of sitting they hang. The first fused glass hanging pocket, is a triangle. I fused some vitrigraph on top and used stainless steel […]
