In order to do well in the art community you have to get into shows. The best shows are typically juried. To get into those shows you have to have great photographs. The jury looks at the pictures to decide what handmade items are the best and allowed into the […]
Before I got really crazy busy I was writing one blog a month about a new mold each month. I know it’s been a while but I have some cool molds so I thought I’d start writing my mold of the month again. This is a cool mold it’s a […]
So I just finished 3 fused glass bowls. I can leave them as bowls they are little 5 inch dishes that are perfect for pretty much anything. But the bottoms on them are awesome too! […]
A few years ago I took a class and learned how to create fused glass drop vases. I really enjoyed the class and made 2 beautiful vases. Problem is when I got home I made a couple but broke them when I cut the […]
This weekend I was able to try something I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time, Painting on glass. This paint is different than normal fused glass painting, it is pebeo paint. It goes on after all the fusing is complete and then baked in an oven to set […]
So last week in one of my blogs I showed you some custom fused glass pieces that I created. These are the fused glass coasters that I finished. I think they turned out really nice and my customer liked them as well. […]
So I’ve been blogging about my trip to New York including Corning, Vitrix, my present from CMOG, Niagra Falls, etc. This blog will be about my fused glass class with Amanda and Lance Taylor at Oatka Studios in Batavia, New York. First I’ve never seen a studio so packed full […]

I just finished a 10 day wonderful trip to New York. Other than not having my husband and daughter with me the trip couldn’t have been any better. I flew into Buffalo, New York because my Fused Glass class was in Batavia, New York. My class didn’t start until the […]
I mentioned a while back that I bought a silhouette machine to help me with my fused glass. I even made a few pendants for a good friend. Recently another good friend asked me to make some custom artwork with some pictures and copper. […]
In January, I challenged my Fused Glass newsletter followers to submit their ideas for my DYK (Did you Know) section of my newsletter for a free fused glass pendant. One of my customers recommended a Fused Glass essential oil diffuser pendant. The recommendation wasn’t strong enough for me too write […]
In some of my past blogs I have written about a couple of classes I’ve taken. One of my more recent classes was with Patty Gray where we learned to use her molds effectively. One of the pieces I made I didn’t care for a whole lot. The glass I […]
