I love making fused glass magnets. I’ve made them in various shapes and sizes. Here are some of my new ones. I like the little fish and of course the flowers are fun. I like the pressed magnets; I use them in so many ways. I also like to add […]
I have made many friends in the glass community. Most of my friends are outside Colorado. But here in Colorado Springs, I have fused glass, mosaic and stained glass friends. Of course I talk about Tracy all the time she is a fuser, stained glass artist and she makes amazing […]
One of my favorite fused glass products to make is small dishes. I like to make them because they are fun, easy, and so very versatile. They can be used as trinket dishes, soap dishes, tea caddies, spoon rests, candle holders, and so much more. These four are beautiful I […]
One of favorite glasses is petrified wood. I did a post a while back and made some little dishes. It’s reactive glass and changes colors. The bottom four dishes are the ones I made back then. I had Tracy cut some bears out of the petrified wood. Aren’t they beautiful? […]
After making Marilyn’s fused glass aspens I liked them so much I decided to make more. I loved the bears so much that I had Tracy make me some other animals. Here they are, I just love them and can’t tell you which one I liked the most. Which is […]
I’ve written about my good friend Marilyn several times. She has been a friend for over 15 years and has supported my fused glass business wholeheartedly. She’s bought fused glass from me numerous times over the years. In fact, it was her cabin we stayed in while we were in […]
During the Doherty craft show one of my long time customers bought a nightlight and as I was about to ring it up I dropped and broke it. Ironically it was right after she said it’s amazing your pieces don’t break. I said oh they will if you drop them […]
I love a challenge and one of my customers and friends asked me to make a poinsettia. There are a couple of different texture molds that I showed her. She asked me if I minded making both and I told her absolutely not. I made some test sheets and we […]
In October I wrote a post about my new faux stained glass ornaments. I took them to my shows at Liberty and Rampart. Obviously I sold some as ornaments but I also had a customer ask me if I could change the one below into a nightlight. Because it had […]
I love flowers and I love making fused glass flowers. Obviously I’ve shown my big flowers – that I just love! But I haven’t shown many of my tiny fused glass flowers. I think they are beautiful and so very versatile. First they can be left flat, or slumped, and […]
Yesterday I had another Arts and Craft Show at Rampart High School. I like Rampart’s show because I don’t have to set up and tear-down the same day. It’s so much work and hard on our bodies. Here are some photos from my Rampart booth. Just like Liberty show I […]
I love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. Additionally I like making stand alone (no pun intended). These little fused glass Christmas tree stands are wonderful. I haven’t glued the trees onto the stands yet so they can easily be changed out. I’m sure this design will also work for other […]
I love hummingbirds, I find them beautiful and fascinating. So many memories of hummingbirds. The first year I was in Colorado Springs I went to a hummingbird festival and learned so much about them (like their tongue splits and wraps around it’s brain). I also remember the first time I […]
This post are about some new fused glass ornaments I just created. The technique and decals came from a fellow artist and I love them. They were inspired by stained glass. These are 3 fused glass “stained glass inspired” ornaments that are very transparent. The first two have dichroic glass […]
