I’ve mentioned Coral many times in my posts. Coral runs Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs. She is the person who taught me fused glass and I am forever grateful for the knowledge she has shared with me over the years. I’ve known Coral for 15 years, she is a good […]
As I’ve mentioned in several times in my posts how I create custom commercial fused glass dishes. Well this month I had a great opportunity to create soap dishes for a hotel in Arizona. It was fun because I painted each one, 210 pieces. It was so much fun and […]
I wanted to do a quick updates on some of the fused glass pieces I did in the last few months. First I finished some of the pendants from my fused glass show. The first two are the decal pendants. The two on the left are snaps and the two […]
I’ve posted about my custom production or commercial fused glass orders several times. I’ve been working on a very large order this month, 200 small coupe dishes. They are a lot of work. I had to cut a blue and clear circle for each dish, then break them out, sand […]
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I have been making several silk screened fused glass pieces. For this post I want to make some gifts for some doctors and nurses I know as a thank you gift. I focused on red and white, but can make them in any color […]

In preparation for this post I read a little about dragonflies. Did you know (according to Wikipedia) dragonflies are insects and have two pairs of strong, transparent wings, […]
I had new commercial order this month. The clear and white soap dishes are a bit of a challenge to make because I had to cut six pieces for each dish. I so appreciate my commercial orders. It’s always a challenge to make multiples of fused glass artwork. The reason […]
I love learning. Recently my friend Lela and I took a wood and macrame class at AR workshop. It was my first time at one of these shops. We really had a great time. Lots of options. Of course the only thing I didn’t care for was Lela and I […]
This month I took a Mandala Glass Dotting class. I’ve seen dotting on rocks and wanted to see how dotting would work on Glass. Painting with dots (I just call it dotting) it’s also known as pointillism and is basically making dots of different sizes with paint. Recently the types […]
