I sent out an email giving 3 options for a fused glass class on 14 Nov and two students who have taken several classes wanted to take a private fused glass dish class with me. Normally the minimum is 3 students but Glenda and Brenda wanted to make several dishes […]
Anyone who knows me, knows I love glass. In fact, that’s why I started making glass, for me. It’s kind of funny, half the time when I make something I want to keep it. Anyway, here are a few more things I’ve made either straight up for me or I […]
I love boxes. I have boxes of every shape and material from all over the world. Most of which I got when I was stationed overseas years ago from Germany, Poland, Czech, etc. In fact, the round one I got from Greece when I was in my 20’s. BTW these […]
One of my goals this year is to use some of my pretty glass and molds that I’ve never used before. So, this post is about 4 fused glass pieces I just finished. This first one is a special mold, it’s called hi / low, it’s low on one side […]
Recently I was able to go to the Farmer’s Market in Westcliffe. I like buying from local people. I love going and meeting the wonderful participants at the little market. Last time I met the owners of a Lavendar farm. This visit was very special, I met Ginny from Sak […]
Recently I visited the Sangre De Cristo 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe. My good Friend Gina had two paintings in the show (top row). Gina and I have been friends since around 2006. She gave me one of her paintings a while back (bottom row). She’s also one of the […]
Earlier this month I did a post about the glass pieces that I made and gave to Mission Wolf. As you can see by the below it is a wonderful organization. I encourage you to visit the sanctuary (Saturday or Tuesdays). My husband, my best friend, her husband, and I […]
I love the look of fused glass with mirrors. Here are a few of the home decor mirrors I’ve made. Some are glass and mirror alone, some are a mix of mirror, glass, and wood (including mosaic pieces). I’ve also made a few fused glass handheld mirrors. Here are the […]
Last month I made a sign for my good friend (pictured below) and I liked it so much I thought I’d make a new sign with glass and wood. I made these Kanji (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) fused glass pieces a while back, but I decided they’d look better […]
I am a believer in giving back. I’ve donated fused glass pendants and other artwork to various charities. As anyone who talks to me or reads my newsletter knows I love Westcliffe. There is a place in Westcliffe that is a sanctuary for wolves. I’m not the best to donate […]
My good friend Marilyn asked me if I could make her a wooden sign with my screen printing. I created the screen, screen-printed, and I also sealed it. I love it, I hope she likes it. Marilyn has 3 adorable dogs, so I made some doggie paws out of glass […]
One of my good friends had an old friend come to take a private class. She wanted to make fused glass flower vases. Here are a couple pictures of the setup. Kathy chose to make 4 flower vase panels and 2 flower magnets. Here are some class photos. Since it […]
This month I gave an absolutely fabulous, fused glass class to three previous students. It was a Sconce class; it was a long class, but we sure had fun. Here are some photos of the setup, I had vitrigraph, cutouts, murrine, and so much more. Here are some class photos. […]
I love making Fused Glass Pocket Vase, including standing vases. When I was asked to make a few fused glass standing pocket vases for the Beckwith Gift Shoppe, I made them the following. The standing fused glass pocket vases below focus on the glass without design. The glass is so […]
