For February I’ve focused on larger functional fused glass artwork, but I also wanted ya’ll to see some of the pendants I’ve been working on. In case you were curious yes I’ve made so many new fused glass snaps as well!! All sizes!! […]
I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas. I had a great Christmas and was able to spend sometime with my husband and daughter. I also got to speak with my son and I got to spend time with two of my good friends. Yep it was a great Christmas. […]
Sometimes, when I create fused glass jewelry I make a block of glass to cut my pieces from. In metal terms a block of metal is called ingot so I thought I’d steal the term for my glass ingots. Anyway first I fuse various pieces of glass together. I added […]
In October I took a pretty cool class at D&L called Glaskolbens. A Glaskolben is a tube of glass that you put frit in and then heat it and then blow into Christmas ornaments – basically round shapes! We used a tank and it’s a little like flameworking just less […]
I love fused glass and one of the things I enjoy about glass is you can make it into so many things. One of my favorite techniques is called kiln carving or bas relief. One way to do that is to put the glass on a textured mold and it […]
I typically don’t blog about thing other than glass however, I really enjoyed my trip to New York including my visit to Niagra Falls. After Corning I drove back up to Batavia and my hotel. I got up relatively early and drove the hour to Niagra Falls. Pam and Julie […]
A famous fused glass Artist Boyce Lundstrom coined the phrase never refuse to refuse and I’m a firm believer in that. Earlier this month and last month I wrote blogs about refusing broken glass pieces. This one is about a fused glass piece that […]
In addition to my shows and commercial orders, I also make fused glass pieces for the shop in Denver, Tulip, that show cases my fused glass. The last time I visited Patty she asked me to make some fused glass votives and candle shields. Typically when I fire fused glass […]
This past weekend I had a booth at the Sugar Plum Food & Gift Mart at the Colorado Event Center. I had a lot of wonderful friends come by and I also made some new friends as well. What a great time; I had some fabulous conversations, made some amazing […]
One thing about me is I like to check a place out before I truly commit. I did that with Leslie (of course it only took me minutes to decide she was amazing), I did that with Aquila, and I did that with Live, Love, […]
While in Portland I also visited Aquila Art Glass studio. I met Don, one of the owners. He was very gracious and showed me his working studio. Not only do they teach fused glass they also teach flameworking. More than teaching […]
During my trip to Portland for my bullseye workshop I also went to a Uroboros factory. I’ll be honest I didn’t know anything about Uroboros until I took this tour. Ken was extremely helpful and so was Carmen. Ken gave us (there were 3 of […]
So while I was at the bullseye factory in Portland we got the once in a lifetime opportunity to cast / make our own glass! I’ve done a lot of fun things with glass but this was the most fun and exciting thing I’ve ever done. It was also a […]
While we were at bullseye we also got to tour the bullseye owner’s house. One thing I loved was the owner was one of the original partners from 1974! That is so cool to me. They like to do tours so people can see how to […]
