In addition to the fused glass snaps, ornaments, night lights, candle shields, etc., I made this month I also made a variety of other fused glass pieces that I want to show off. First up is this awesome sconce. When I was doing the freeze and fuse last month I […]
This month I’ve written several posts about the myriad of fused glass art pieces I’ve made or finished this month. For this post I want to focus on some of my fused glass snaps. Here are some of my large fused glass snaps. If you’d like to learn more about […]
One of my favorite fused glass techniques is crackle. I learned it from the great Bob Leatherbarrow. If you look in the links below I’ve listed some of the past posts I’ve written about my classes with Bob. Well I’ve made some small pieces just to have a bit of […]
Yes, I know it’s May but this post is to show how long it takes me to finish some of my fused glass pieces. I’ll make a piece but I won’t finish it. Here are some ornaments. I love making stars and tree ornaments. As you can see I have […]
I made some beautiful fused glass millefiori / murine cabochons recently and made them into magnets and then Mother’s Day cards. This one was for my mom. I like the little heart murine. Sadly my penmanship is not pretty. This one was for my mother-in-law. See the little butterfly. It’s […]
I love making fused glass candle shields and night lights. Here are four of my recent candle shields. They are fun because they are small and can be made from every technique. The three on the left are made with cut glass, casts, confetti, and frit. I make my candle […]
Another technique I talked about briefly last month in my Newsletter was my Frit mix pieces. My turtle and sea horse turned out beautifully so I made a few more. The first time I fired the bear, deer, and wolf they didn’t fire quite right so I added some more […]
In my last post I showed some of my fused glass pendants that I drilled holes into. I thought I’d show you some of the pinch bails I used, needless to say I’m pretty much out of bails now. I need to get better at wire wrapping. Anyway, here are […]
I love adding fused glass decals to my fused glass cabochons. Typically when I make cabochons I have a box that I put cabochons in that I think would look great with a decal. I then will sit down and look through my decals that I think match the cabochon. […]
I do shows during the year and I always have my business cards on each of my tables. I love showing my business cards off in my fused glass business card holders. I can make them in any color. Here are a few. I also have business card holders made […]
I’ve had a fun month trying out old fused glass techniques. Freeze and fuse glass is a cool technique. Basically you take powder add water put it in a mold and here is the surprise you freeze it. Once it’s frozen you fuse it. Here are some of the pieces […]
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I made 335 spirit soap dishes. When I make something there is always left over glass. I had quite a bit so I made a few great pieces. First I paired the beautiful glass with white. I made 2 rectangle platters. Then I […]
I so love to make something new and a challenge in fused glass. Recently I was asked to make a wedding cake topper. She wanted a north star with a dove. I was so excited because it’s something I’ve never made. I must admit I broke the North Star pieces […]
I love creating glass artwork that other artists can use in their art. I received an email a while back from Rebecca. She asked me for a fused glass donut. I made her two. I think they turned out great because I created the mold to meet her needs. Below […]
