A few blogs ago I talked about my commercial fused glass soap dishes. The one is for a hotel in California. I made 200 fused glass soap dishes. It was a lot of work. This is tough glass so it’s not your typical fusing schedule or cutting. First I cut […]
I’ve had a very productive fused glass week! First, Jo came by on Friday and picked up her prize. Actually she chose a necklace to match her earrings (so she took the $25 off of the price)! Wow they look great on her!! And it matches her shirt perfectly!! […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about adding colored decals to fused glass. My friend also wanted some sepia choices. So I made her a sepia fused glass night light and magnet. The nice thing about custom sepia decals is that they are fused on so they can be […]
I love taking fused glass classes and learning new techniques. But I’ll never forget my first fused glass instructor. Her name is Coral, from full spectrum, here in Colorado Springs. I wrote about her several years ago, but I want to write about her again. […]
First if ya’ll have never been to this event it’s fabulous. Some real artists. In fact my daughter and I struggled limiting what we bought. My favorite is a copper sculpture made by Judy and Dave. It’s truly amazing artwork and wonderful people! Second it’s a […]
In my Fresh From the Kiln this month, I showed a few of the plates (for the wall) with hand printed decals. These decals are full color verses the sepia decals I can make. One draw back is that the hand-printed colored decals are baked onto the glass instead of […]
First full disclosure, I’ve “talked” to Mark Hufford (Fused Glass Artist / Painter) many times via Facebook, email, and messaging. In fact, I begged him to teach here in Colorado and I’m ecstatic that he will be teaching in Denver next year (yes, that’s how booked he is)!! Obviously, I’ll […]

My mold for August is a Fused Glass wine rack mold. I chose a beautiful piece of glass so I didn’t change it a lot other than fused it with apiece of iridized glass which gives it depth. The glass as aventurine green, white, purple and really amazing. […]
I love my fused glass night lights and one of my favorite of course is the tree of life. I have several types of the Tree of Life decal, some gold and black, gold and white, only white, only black. I put them on pendants and I also love putting […]
I know I’ve blogged about this before but, one of the the aspects of fused glass that I love is if you don’t like it you can refuse it. When I took the glass class with Amanda in New York I mentioned that I broke one of my fused glass […]
