During a recent show one of my great customers who had bought one of my beautiful fused glass aspens came back with a bag. Inside the bag was the broken aspen. She told me that the aspen was on a shelf and got knocked to the floor. Anytime someone buys […]
This month I’ve been blogging a lot about my commercial / production fused glass orders. I mentioned that I have representatives helping me get commercial fused glass orders. Sometimes they email or call me and ask for something specific. Sometimes they […]
One of the myriad of reasons I love fused glass is how other art-forms can be incorporated into fused glass. I’ve mentioned art clay, stamping, flowers, and so many other arts. In several of my Facebook groups I follow I came across a post about Rangoli, according to Wikipedia “the […]
As I’ve mentioned many times. I love molds and I can’t seem to get enough of them. This fused glass bowl used two different types of molds. A texture mold and the slumping mold (square bowl). The nice thing about a texture […]
This is kind of a continuation of my last blog regarding commercial fused glass orders. One of the many challenges for me with fused glass is cutting circles. So imagine my dismay when for one of my commercial orders I had to make 10 huge fused glass bowls. Since the […]
Over the last few months I’ve told ya’ll that I’ve created fused glass for commercial customers. For this blog I’d like to expand on it a little. Especially since I am working on two separate commercial fused glass orders right now and all of my kilns are filled so I […]
Instead of calling them resolutions, I’m calling them goals. I look forward to reaching my 2016 goals for my fused glass. 2015 was a wonderful year for me professionally. I started a new job that I enjoy and I work with great people. I also was able to create […]
During my last Craft show after seeing my aspen night lights, I was asked by one of my customers if I could make a sunflower night light. So for December’s fresh from the kiln I thought I’d make a couple. I’ve always […]
I hope Everyone had a fabulous Christmas. I had a wonderful Christmas. I spent time with my Husband and Daughter and got to spend time in my studio. It is difficult being away from my Son & Daughter-in-law but it’s still a […]
Want to know why I didn’t blog on Wednesday. It’s because I just finished working between 12-14 hour days for the last 12 days. It was a crazy and a lot of hard work but I love my day job. Even with those crazy hours I was able to finish […]
Wow I’m so crazy busy, I didn’t even do a fused glass blog on Wed. I’m doing a myriad of fused glass custom orders: 4 night lights, a poker guard, cuff links, a pendant. I also just finished 100 fused glass soap dishes for a commercial order. I’m also sending […]
I just complete Doherty HS Craft Bazaar. It’s my last show of the season so it’s kind of bitter sweet. I always love seeing my old friends/customers and love meeting new ones. I’m not sure when my next show will be so it’s kind of sad. I can’t tell ya’ll […]
I’m not sure if I mentioned it already, but a couple of months ago I had a customer asked me if I could turn my fused glass green-man into a mantel sconce like my Aspens. Then at my last show I had another customer ask me if I could turn […]
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sure did. It’s always good to see family. So I always tell my fused glass customers if you break a piece of art glass don’t just throw it a way I can always make something with it for you, i.e., refuse […]
