Just a quick blog on a few of my fused glass earrings. I have fused glass earrings that are post, lever, and wire. Most of my wire and post are surgical steal. If they aren’t they can be changed into surgical steel. I also have fused glass snap earrings in […]
My Fresh From the Kiln for July is based on the review I wrote regarding Bullseye’s “Kilnforming With Rods” video. I’m not one to just like strips so I used a combination of some of the variations the video showed. I also […]
July’s mold – Fused glass beads. One thing I enjoy every month is my newsletter from “Glass with a Past” by Jodi. First let me say Jodi is always helpful when I email her and ask her questions. She has also started selling various fusing items along with her tutorials, […]

For those who follow my blogs know I took a 5 day course with Bob Leatherbarrow “Studies in Powder” or crackle last week. I’ve taken other classes that included crackle and I just recently bought a eBook about crackle so some have asked me why fly up to a little […]
Bullseye glass is so cool they have a myriad of different types of glass that are very interesting. Two very unique types of bullseye glass I want to show off tonight is steel blue and opaline glass. I love the steel blue glass because when you fuse clear glass on […]
There is so much to fused glass, techniques, glass, molds, etc. I enjoy all of the above. I’m constantly learning new techniques, buy various types of glass, and of course molds. Of course the best of all worlds is to combine special glass, techniques, and molds together in one special […]
