So this weekend was my last show of the season. I enjoy seeing my old friends and making new ones. I want to congratulate M. Ward she won our drawing for $25 free fused glass. You can look through my sites www.elegantfusedglass.com, my Etsy store, or my artfire store. If […]
I did it, I screen printed the serenity prayer on fused glass. It took me forever but Isn’t she beautiful. The first one didn’t turn out because white isn’t strong enough to stand up to the background. I wish it was because the white against the aventurine blue was beautiful. With this […]
Last week I showed you a lantern with several tiny fused glass panels. This week I thought I’d show you a bigger lantern with larger fused glass panels. This one I put some dolphin fused glass pieces and then I put some confetti glass in. Glass likes to shrink when […]
I have been working on something I think is really really cool. I am taking lanterns and changing out the old boring glass for Beautiful Art Glass! I have 3 types of lanterns. The first one that I have been working on is a 6 sided lantern. To see if […]
I just took a great class with Shelley Long. This was my 2nd painting on glass class with Shelley. She is a fabulous teacher. I also really enjoyed the other ladies in my class. Wonderful and talented women. The technique that Shelley taught us this time was several layers of […]
I’m getting ready for my 4 up coming art shows and for my store in Denver. One of the fused glass Items I’m working on is my night lights. You can see I have a whole little forest of fused glass night lights. Every color and combination of trees. […]
I’ve always like bees and recently I learned how they’re population is being decimated across the world. It’s horrible, most people see them as a pain (no pun intended) but we need Bees. Bee’s do so much for our ecosystem, including helping feed the human race. Anyway, as a reminder […]
Last year I took a class in New York and blogged about it. I didn’t finish one of my fused glass bowls. I finally finished it and thought I’d post the final picture. When I left class I left it as a shallow dish. But the next step would make […]
I love making fused glass jewelry, night lights, and other functional fused glass pieces. However, I also love making fused glass art pieces as well. Art is basically something that is beautiful but doesn’t necessarily have a functional use other than esthetics. Sometimes when I create a fused glass piece […]
Those who know me know that my eyesight for reading is pretty much non existent. So I am constantly looking for my glasses, once I was searching for my glasses and found 3 – on my head! So I made fused glass eyeglass holders. I wrote a blog about them […]
A few months a go I wrote a blog about my drop vases. I really enjoy this technique. They are so pretty and interesting to make. I made them out of several techniques including casting, frit, crackle, and screen melt. I also put a flat […]
All I can say about this fused glass “bowl” is it’s amazing!! I say bowl but it’s really a piece of art. It’s 13 inches in diameter. It’s kind of like a watercolor. There are 5 koi all hand done and in various colors. […]
Guess what I’ve been up too. Actually quite a bit, I’ve been fusing like crazy because I have a big show this month and it’s my first time at this location. More information will be in my Newsletter! This first one is pebbles (crackle but it looks like pebbles). Wait […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about adding colored decals to fused glass. My friend also wanted some sepia choices. So I made her a sepia fused glass night light and magnet. The nice thing about custom sepia decals is that they are fused on so they can be […]
