Normally I sell my fused glass arts and craft shows during the year. About 7 total through out the year however, I also have different sites including Etsy , Artfire and of course my website. I must admit I’m horrible about updating my websites because when I’m home I want […]
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. […]
I love glass and I love figuring out different ways to use my fused glass. I’ve been learning a bit about resin and I wanted to see how it works with fused glass. Plus, since my kilns are full with my new fused glass production order I thought it would […]
I have a bad habit of not finishing my fused glass jewelry pieces. Specifically not putting the findings on the glass. So while I was TDY to Rhode Island I took some findings and glass cabochons with me. I made some fused glass bookmarks, fused […]
I mentioned in an earlier blog this month I went back to Rhode Island. I’ve been to Newport twice before an I wanted to go to Thames glass and do a quick glass blowing intro. The last time I did glass blowing it was in Oregon. I enjoyed it very […]

Last month I receive a request to make some purple fused glass mushrooms for a great customer of mine. I made these with a screen-melt technique, which is one of my favorite techniques. This first picture is trying out the recycled glass bottoms. I like them, but I thought sandblasting […]
It’s spring time so I made some pretty fused glass wind chimes. I made them with brass chain, stainless steel chain and copper wire. I think they are all pretty cool I even took some to my store in Denver. This fused […]
