I love using Murrini in my fused glass art work. Most is 96 COE or 90 COE. Here are just a couple of recent examples. Murrini doesn’t just come in 90 & 96 COE, it also comes in 104 COE. In case you didn’t know the higher the COE the […]
There is a saying in fused glass “never refuse to refuse”, I’m a firm believer in that concept. When I first started fusing I got to the point where my pendants were 2 – 3 inches, which is a bit too large for some people. So I looked through some […]
One of my favorite Jewelry items to create is my fused glass snaps. Here are some of my medium snaps I’ve made recently. I also made some fused glass small snaps. Making the small fused glass snaps is very difficult. They have to fit into the bezel and that’s a […]
I’ve always struggled with making fused glass earrings because it’s difficult to get fused glass pieces similar enough in size and appearance to be earrings. I just finished a few posts, dangles, and even a few sets. Here are some of the handmade fused glass dangle earrings I made. If […]
I have a large family and an even larger extended family. Here are just a few of the posts I’ve written about my family. I love them all so very much! This month I went to Texas to visit my Family and Friends. My first stop was to visit my […]
I love Murrine and Millefiori. In fact I buy it all the time from several different artists. Murrine is little pieces of glass that are cross-sections of cane that reveal images. According to Wikipedia, murrine “first appeared in the Middle East more than 4,000 years ago and was revived by Venetian […]
I love these little fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dishes are perfect for rings, tea bags, spoons, a small candle, or just as a pretty little dish. I went a bit crazy and made several, whether they are 3 pieces put together like the first picture or 2 […]
Several months ago, I made a few fused glass dishes for the house in Westcliffe. I made beautiful amber, blue, and green rectangular dishes perfect for dinner and breakfast. The key is not to put them in the microwave. I love my fused glass dishes, however I didn’t make enough. […]
One of my goals this year is to use some of my glass and murine. So this post is about 6 fused glass small decorative bowls I just finished. These are not food safe, they are home decor. The first two fused glass bowls are made with pinks and purple […]
I love making fused glass dishes. This fused glass bowl has so much going for it. First, it’s spirt glass and it’s purple. You may not know this, but purple, pink, and red glass is made with gold, which is why purple glass is so expensive. It’s also transparent glass […]

A few months ago, my friend Cathy showed me how to make micro mosaics. As a reminder, here are the ones I made with Cathy. Since I’m in Korea I thought I’d do some glass work and the only real way to do that is a mix media format. I […]
I love writing my posts and newsletter. I have a section for sells, but I don’t update the sales section very often. The other day I actually made a sale, and it really shocked me. I sold the poker guard below. I included a black velvet bag with the poker […]
