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. […]
For those who follow my Fused Glass newsletter know I have an amazing family and on this Mother’s day I’m even more thankful for my amazing family. Obviously my son, David who works for Pixar and has won several awards. David did these back when he was 16 years old. […]
In April of 2017 I did an entire newsletter on Creative Paradise’s molds. I love their creative paradise’s texture molds. I used some different colors in my fused glass mantle sconces. This first one is iridized white, lady in the woods. She’s beautiful and she looks amazing with the light […]
In February I took a glass mosaic class at Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs. This month I decided I’d take another glass mosaic class and this time I bought a friend. Last time it was just tempered glass. This one actually included porcelain. Lela and I had a great time. […]
For those who follow my blogs, you know I love glass. Fused glass is my passion but I love all glass. So when I saw a Mosaic’s class advertised at Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs, I signed up right away. First for those who have known me for a long […]
I normally post about how busy I am, well today I took some time out and had breakfast with friends. Iris and Lela are two of my best friends and I just don’t spend enough time with them. So today we had breakfast and […]
During one of my shows last year I was asked if I could make pocket crosses. I wasn’t sure what she mean and she explained they are just to keep them in your pocket without a bail. It reminded me of worry stones. When I was stationed in Turkey, worry […]
While I was making my vitrigraph pieces I came across some glass that I wanted to refuse. Some were donut pendants that I found too large. So I decided to cut them down. I really like them now. They were casted fused glass donuts and I cut off the sides, […]
July’s fused glass newsletter focuses on holiday fused glass in preparation for my glass shows. So for this fused glass blog I thought make a couple of plates. I made a fused glass snowman face, it’s perfect for Christmas candy or cookies. I also wanted […]

I’ve blogged about several techniques including: the Glass Glo brick plate, Mosaic tile plate, the fused glass quilt plate, cobble dish, and several jewelry techniques. Ok […]
