In December Tracy came over and we created pot-melts. I have been trying to decide how to use mine, which is one of the reasons for the delay in writing this post. I love creating fused glass pot-melts because you never really know what you are going to get. Here […]
There are several types of glass including Bullseye Glass and Oceanside Glass and I use both for different reasons. Another type of glass is Wissmach Glass, it’s 96 COE glass. I normally use the Wissmach Luminescent glass, but they also have this beautiful glass called Prisma. I had a sheet […]
For February I’d like to open fused glass class options up to y’all. What fused glass class would you like to take? All you need is 3 people, and I can schedule it for you. Typically, classes are about 2 hours. No experience is necessary. Some of the supplies available […]
One of the most time consuming and challenging fused glass techniques I make are fused glass drop vases. There are several steps involved. The first thing you have to do is to make a glass slab so to speak. It needs to be kind of thick. Then you put it […]
Last month I made some screen prints for a friend’s house in Westcliffe, co-workers, as gifts, my niece, etc. I liked them so much I thought I’d make me some. First, I made some coasters, I love nature so I thought these would be perfect. They are nice thick cork. […]

One of my favorite things to do is to make custom silk screens so I can make special presents for people. Last year I made presents for my co-workers and this year is no exception. In fact, I think I went a bit crazy. First, I made little magnets for […]
I participated in the Doherty High School Arts and Craft Show this month. I always love talking about my glass. My husband Dan is a gigantic help. I just don’t know what I’d do without him. Additionally, I want to thank Lela and Marco, setting up shows are extremely difficult […]
During the Rampart Craft fair, a new customer asked me if I could make matching barrettes based on two, she found. For one of the barrettes, I was lucky and was able to make another barrette that was pretty close to the original (last 2 photos). It’s difficult to completely […]
A few years ago, one of my good customers asked me to create a 12 fused glass spoon rests with standup metal holders. It’s kind of funny it took me forever to get the firing schedule and size right, so you’d think I’d remember. She asked me to make her […]
I participated in the Rampart High School Arts and Craft Show this month. I always love talking about my glass. I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner is Margaret. She can choose her $25 worth of free fused glass at my Doherty […]
First, I want to let y’all know I will NOT be at Liberty’s craft show. For that show I have to set up, hold the show, and tear down in 1 day and that’s just too much for me and my old body. Second, I will not have a home […]
