I’ve blogged about my fused glass mushrooms before but I just love them and thought I’d make some more. Some have clear bottoms, some have sandblasted bottoms and I made one with a green bottom. The bottoms are all recycled bottles. They come with fairy lights to make little night […]
Last year I focus on revisiting some of my favorite techniques from various classes, ebooks, and webinars. This year I want to focus on some fused glass techniques and ideas showcased in my glass magazine. I am a warm weather girl and we’ve had a few snow days and I […]
I’ve posted about my fused glass textured pieces before. I just love textured glass. These are my Suns’ The first one is the sun and the moon in iridized amber. It’s huge. Matter of fact, I didn’t think I had a stand that would hold it, but this stand is […]
One of the things I’ve always wanted to make since I started working with fused glass is mirrors. I’ve always liked mirrors and to add glass to them just makes them even more beautiful. This first one is a beveled mirror and I used silicon to glue fused glass pebbles […]
Last year I took a class with Laurie Spray on cane’s and vitrigraph. I’ve used some of the blue cane in several pieces but I wanted to use some of the orange cane I made in actual fused glass pieces. I made 3 small dishes. […]
As I was preparing for my DYK in my December’s Newsletter, I came across a few other fused glass pieces that I just wasn’t completely happy with and decided I’d re-slump them. I made this beautiful leaf a few months ago, but when I slumped it I didn’t care for […]

In July I made a standing tree so I thought I’d make a few more. I’m not sure if I like the face more or the traditional ornament tree. I’d love to hear what ya’ll think. This picture shows my first standing tree (with a […]
In July, I made a lot of Fused glass stars and after taking Jodi’s class the first week in August I made even more. I’m not sure which are my favorites. I like the simple 5 point stars because they can be made in any color and typically take 1 […]
Last month I blogged about my hand-painted spoon. It’s so pretty. I’m looking forward to painting more spoons. I got so excited about my spoon, I thought I’d make a few more. Albeit this time I thought I’d make a some holiday ones. I made […]
I’ve blogged about my good friend Marilyn several times. She is a teacher and she loves the minions so I made her a sign for her students and some minion stand-ups and magnets. I must admit the little standups are so cute, and I can put any picture on them […]
