While I’m working in my glass studio I listen to books on tape or watch glass videos. Recently I finished a book by Greta Van Sustern “Everything you need to know about Social Media – without having to call a kid”. It was an interesting […]
Just finished up a custom order for fused glass flower sculptures. I’ve made several fused glass flowers before but what makes these different is they are meant to hang them on the wall. I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to hang them and even got advise […]
For those of you who follow my newsletter you know I’ve taken a couple mosaic classes from a local mosaic glass instructor (below). I just finished another mosaic class and this time the glass is on a rock. Which I think is awesome. I think […]
It’s interesting I normally do 3 or 4 commercial orders a year, but this year I’ve had 4 within the first 6 months. I have a new fused glass commercial order for 200 soap dishes. I’ve made these before and I like them, They are perfect, plus soap dishes are […]
Guess what happens when you get cocky with creating fused glass? That’s right it breaks. I’ve made over 100 of my big production plates. But in my last few slump firings 2 of my plates broke. The first one actually took a small bowl with it. If you know about […]
The Mountain Arts Festival is coming up, August 4-5 and I will be having a booth to show off my beautiful Fused Glass Artwork. I thought I’d show some of my fused glass. Fused glass Essential Oil pendants and car fresheners. Fused Glass bookmarks and […]
Over the last few months I’ve made a myriad of sets (over 50) of Fused Glass Earrings, so for my first show 4-5 August (Mountain Arts Festival, in Woodland Park), when you buy two sets of earrings you get 1 set free (of equal or lesser value). My fused glass […]
In my last blog I talked about all the glass I purchased over the years. As I was walking around my house I also other glass I bought made. I have quite a bit so I may have to break it down into different categories. First, functional pieces. First in […]
For those who follow me know I travel a lot with my job. This month I went to Germany. It was a busy trip, but I did get to have a little bit of fun so I thought I’d write a blog about it. When I’m on my trips […]
Before I left for my business trip I had a special custom order a pair of fused glass earrings. I’ve used the fused glass bubble technique before but I had never made a pair of earrings with the technique. I did finish them before I sent them, I just didn’t […]
When I go on a trip I always try to do something glass related. If there isn’t any glass related activity close by typically bring things with me to finish. Did I mention I have a bad habit of starting fused glass projects and not finishing them? One of the […]
I promised to keep ya’ll informed regarding my progress on my big order for the hotel in Florida. As I’ll discuss later in June’s newsletter I had a business trip to Germany which would have put me severely behind in my progress. So I decided to teach my husband […]
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. […]
As I mentioned in my April Newsletter, I’ve been working on a 400 plate order for a fabulous hotel and Restaurant in Florida. Well I shipped my first portion of the order. I can not tell you how nervous I was. This is one of the toughest custom orders I’ve […]
