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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
