In last month’s Newsletter I wrote about adding gold to some of my fused glass pieces. I like the gold so much that I added the gold so much. I like the washi paper so here is the fused glass butterfly and flower with the washi paper and the other […]
I love flowers. In fact, last year when we drove over Grand Mesa, I must have made my husband stop 1000 times so I could take pictures of the flowers. When we went to Westcliffe last spring, I literally must have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers. And of course, […]
I love unicorns and I’ve had these molds for quite a while. The unicorn is casted, then I slumped it on a mold that allows it to stand. Then I added gold. There are several steps to create this piece, but I think it’s pretty cute. I made the deer […]
One of my friends and customers asked me to make her a fused glass snowflake on iridized. I think it’s beautiful and she seems happy with it. We kept it flat and put it in a stand. However, if she changes her mind, we can slump it into a bowl […]
During one of my craft shows I met this amazing artist named Merle, she created the most amazing gourds. I wrote about her and the gourd I traded for in November. During the visit she asked me if I could give her some glass cabochons so she could include them […]

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 […]
