For July’s Fused Glass review I thought I’d review one of Bullseye’s Glass videos. I wrote a “DYK – Did You Know” about Bullseye’s Glass education site in January and so I thought I’d do a review on one of the videos I […]
While I was in Canada at the “Studies in Powder” class. One of my favorite topics when we all talked was about our favorite fused glass books. Bob recommended the book “Steal Like an Artist” by Austin Kleon. It’s a tiny little book […]
OK, I must be losing my mind! In January I wrote a New Year’s fused glass resolution blog, or so I thought. Since it’s July ( I hope everyone has a great 4th of July), and the year is 1/2 over, I thought I’d review […]
I love my molds – I’m pretty addicted to them. Which is why I’m using a mold each month, that I haven’t used before, and posting a blog to show it off. I especially love the textures. So July’s Fused Glass Mold is a Sun. One place I get my […]
In my last fused glass blog I wrote about how great the ladies were in my class with Bob Leatherbarrow (including Liesbeth). For this blog I wanted to talk about Bob and the glass itself. As I mentioned before, I will not provide any secrets. Bob teaches and will be […]
Earlier this month I wrote a review on two eBooks by Paul Tarlow “Waste Not! Fused Glass Projects Using Scrap Glass 1 & 2”. As I mentioned in that review when fused glass artists create glass pieces whether it’s jewelry or art pieces we have a lot of what we […]
For those who follow my blogs know I took a 5 day course with Bob Leatherbarrow “Studies in Powder” or crackle last week. I’ve taken other classes that included crackle and I just recently bought a eBook about crackle so some have asked me why fly up to a little […]
There is so much to fused glass, techniques, glass, molds, etc. I enjoy all of the above. I’m constantly learning new techniques, buy various types of glass, and of course molds. Of course the best of all worlds is to combine special glass, techniques, and molds together in one special […]
When fused glass artists create glass pieces, whether it’s jewelry or art pieces, there is a lot of what we call “scrap” or leftover glass. Moreover, sometimes when we create fused glass pieces some of the pieces don’t turn out quite as well as […]
There are two main types of COE that I use and I’ve blogged about coefficient of expansion (COE) of fused glass many times. As I mentioned before COE is how glass expands and contracts when it heats and cools. When glass is the same COE and is considered fusible it […]
I am so blessed to know so many amazing artists. Yesterday, I met an incredible fused glass, stain glass, and mold artist, his name is Paul Hathcoat. He has been a stain glass and a fused glass artist for over 30 years. Sadly he is going out of business after […]
Every month I’ve been writing blogs about my myriad of fused glass molds. Recently I watch a video on how to use a mold that connects a fused glass drop vase to a base. I like fused […]
The first full week of May brought a lot of rain for Colorado Springs. And even though the saying goes “April showers bring May flowers” after watching Cara’s video (in my May fused glass review) I thought I’d make […]
Oh my goodness I just met the best woman her name is Leslie, and she’s a flamework artist / instructor! For those of you who follow me you know I create fused glass artwork. However, I’ve always found flameworking fascinating. I was lucky enough to watch John Veit create a […]
