On April 22nd I held a Fused Glass Class to creating a Forever Flower magnets gift for Mother’s Day. There were 3 lovely ladies in the class. I showed the ladies some of the options including different sizes. BTW I held the class in another room because I was expecting […]
Last time we went to Westcliffe we picked up some salt and pepper from the Amish Deli. The cool thing about the salt and pepper is it comes in plastic bowls. So, I decided to buy wooden salt and pepper bowls with lids and of course I decided to put […]
I’m not sure how your state is but in Colorado you either have two pay for bags (10 cents) or buy some reusable bags. BTW next year stores won’t have the plastic bags available – so we have a year to remember our bags because of course I forget the […]
I love pressed Fused Glass and I have pressed glass several times. I’ve also made small flowers with the pressed fused glass. They are versatile and fun. Here are a couple I’ve made previously; I slumped them and as you can see these are all magnets. I watched a video […]

I love creating fused glass dishes, whether for art or as functional pieces. I just finished slumping several new dishes. Here are just a few of them. There are myriad of techniques and they are in various sizes. This first set is pieces of clear and blue fused together then […]
I’ve been making a lot of fused glass stirrers and flower stakes lately. I normally keep them in a bottle vase, but I’ve made so many I’ve ran out of bottle vases, so I’ve decided to make some bottle glass vases more. These first two bottles have texture so I […]
A couple of months ago I finished up some of my fused glass drop vases. Here are the pictures of them and the majority of them turned out beautifully. However, there were a couple that didn’t turn out well. The first picture shows how I separated it, the how uneven […]
Last month I wrote about some of the fused glass pieces (below are just some of the dishes) I made with Wissmach Prisma Glass, Reactive Blue Oster Pearl and Oster Pearl Reactive Blue. Such a beautiful glass. I loved this glass so much I decided to make pebbles and squares […]
I’ve written about my fused glass drop vases a few times. This post is about the part of the vase I cut off, I call them the Fused Glass “holes”. Most fused glass artists make the rims out of clear and just toss them but I make the entire piece […]
A few months ago I made some coasters and trivets. I decided to make a few more coasters. I hand screen printed them. Which is your favorite coaster? I also made a few rectangle trivets. I like the round ones but two of these protect the table better. I also […]
I love making fused glass dishes. I finished some small, fused glass dishes. The small 3-inch square dish below is made with a pattern bar. It’s perfect for rings or a small candle or just as a pretty little dish. This tiny 3-inch dish is a mix of iridized glass […]
In December I made fused glass pot-melts with my good friend Tracy. I enjoyed making them so much I made some more. Here they are in the kiln, I used a similar setup that Tracy and I used. Here they are, after fusing. I like seeing the pots with the […]
I created something new this month and I think they are fun and beautiful. A friend of mine wanted a fused glass sign, but since it was only for a temporary purpose, I decided not to do a screen print but to make it erasable. I created two lovely, fused […]
