I’ve mentioned my good friend Lela in several posts. We’ve taken several classes together including cooking, macramé, welding, lead stained glass, and this last month we took a foil stained glass class. Here are some pictures of Lela making her butterfly. I just made a little bird but I enjoyed […]
I wanted to do a quick updates on some of the fused glass pieces I did in the last few months. First I finished some of the pendants from my fused glass show. The first two are the decal pendants. The two on the left are snaps and the two […]
I made a fused glass Christmas wreath a while back, I liked it so much that wanted to make a few more. This picture doesn’t do it justice because the clear is actually iridized. This time instead of Christmas wreath I made a spring wreaths. I was inspired by a […]
I love learning. Recently my friend Lela and I took a wood and macrame class at AR workshop. It was my first time at one of these shops. We really had a great time. Lots of options. Of course the only thing I didn’t care for was Lela and I […]
This month I took a Mandala Glass Dotting class. I’ve seen dotting on rocks and wanted to see how dotting would work on Glass. Painting with dots (I just call it dotting) it’s also known as pointillism and is basically making dots of different sizes with paint. Recently the types […]
In addition to the fused glass snaps, ornaments, night lights, candle shields, etc., I made this month I also made a variety of other fused glass pieces that I want to show off. First up is this awesome sconce. When I was doing the freeze and fuse last month I […]
A glass stringer is a straight tiny (1mm or 2mm) rods. I’ve never really used them before, because I prefer organic shapes and sizes of vitrigraph. However, I just watched a class (curious mondo) on how to use stringers and I must say I was inspired. I pulled out some […]
I love making fused glass candle shields and night lights. Here are four of my recent candle shields. They are fun because they are small and can be made from every technique. The three on the left are made with cut glass, casts, confetti, and frit. I make my candle […]
I love adding fused glass decals to my fused glass cabochons. Typically when I make cabochons I have a box that I put cabochons in that I think would look great with a decal. I then will sit down and look through my decals that I think match the cabochon. […]
I’ve had a fun month trying out old fused glass techniques. Freeze and fuse glass is a cool technique. Basically you take powder add water put it in a mold and here is the surprise you freeze it. Once it’s frozen you fuse it. Here are some of the pieces […]
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I made 335 spirit soap dishes. When I make something there is always left over glass. I had quite a bit so I made a few great pieces. First I paired the beautiful glass with white. I made 2 rectangle platters. Then I […]
My good friend Lela asked me if she could put my some of my fused glass in her Bed and Breakfast. What an honor, her bed and breakfast is beautiful and I love seeing my fused glass in such a beautiful place. Here are a few of the rooms with […]
I’ve blogged about my fused glass “Buddha’s” (Kwan Yin) several times, because I like them so much. I make my Buddha’s with ceramic molds by Laurie Spray. She’s an amazing artist and I’ve blogged about her several times as well. In addition to the Buddha molds, Laurie’s made several of […]
I love creating commercial / production fused glass art. One of the places I create functional glass for is a wonderful restaurant in Aspen. The head chef always challenges me with new requests. I’ve made several dishes for him including Caviar dishes, platters, and bowls. I’ve been working on a […]
