I made myself a present last year, a fused glass clock. What made it extremely special is the interchangeable pictures of my granddaughter. She has grown so much, so I decided I’d update my clock with new pictures. I love this clock it’s so beautiful. I just love being able […]
As you know I wasn’t able to go to my Rockledge Ranch show this month because I was on a business trip. So where was I? That’s right I was in Alabama again. I was working 10-13 hr days and didn’t get much time off but I did go to […]

As I mentioned in my DYK below I recently went to Prague in the Czech Republic. I also wrote about my trip to Ruckl Glass Factory in Nizbor (close to Prague). Anyway I wanted to share with you some of the things I bought while I was in Prague. Below […]
The day before I left Prague I went to heaven or Ruckl glass factory (same thing for a glass artist). Now I’ve seen blown glass all over the world including Murano, Corning in New York, the Black Forest in Germany, and even in Finland in my 20’s. I even blew […]
While I was in Breckenridge I discovered they have what’s called Breck create. It’s right on Main Street and as we were walking around town I saw they had classes including a flameworking class. It was called pendants inspired by nature. I signed up (very reasonably priced). When I showed […]
I took another mosaic class from Cathy. I so enjoy Cathy’s classes. She’s such a nice person and I find Mosaics very relaxing. I still have a bit of cleaning up to do but I really think it’s cool. Below is Cathy’s post from the class. As you can see […]
Doherty Craft Fair was my last show of the season. I only do 5-6 shows a year. I enjoy showing off my fused glass and talking about how much I love fused glass. As you know, I do a drawing for those who sign up for my newsletter during each […]
This month I had another long business trip. I had kind of an interesting start to my trip. The drive down to Montgomery was a a monsoon. Then one of the first days we were there the hotel had an fire evacuation. We also walked […]
Last month I wrote a couple of blogs about fused glass Halloween and Christmas artwork. I also made some night lights. These are a bit different, they can be interchangeable. The nightlight has a hook and can hold a fused glass art piece. Here are the 4 I made. I […]
While I was in Murano looking at all the glass it reminded me of all the glass I’ve bought from all the other places I’ve been. One of the first places I’ve ever seen glass blowing was in Sweden the first time I was stationed in Germany back in 1990. […]
While I was on Murano (See the DYK) I decided to go to the island of Burano. It’s a small island only about 30 minutes away from Murano with very colorful houses. It started as a fishing village and has a museum of lace! Even though Burano is known for […]
As I talked about in my DYK, I took a trip to Murano Italy. I loved it. Even though I make fused glass I still bought quite a bit of glass while I was in Murano. First I bought some things for Madi, of course she’s not into jewelry so […]
In addition to the Alcohol Ink class with Cathy I also got to take Hidden Images 3-D with Cathy Claycomb. Like the first class this class wasn’t a fused glass class either. Again we used Kokomo glass, it’s so pretty, I wish it could be fused without losing it’s beauty. […]
