I’ve made many fused glass photo stands. Normally it’s the ones below, simple but elegant. There’s nothing like real photos and these are great to go anywhere and make perfect gifts. This is a very different type of fused glass photo frame. I love them so much that I made […]
Normally when I make fused glass plant stakes they are casted or cut design pieces. Here are some examples of some of my other fused glass plant stakes. They are all fun to make, I especially like using knives as the stake portion. But recently I saw a video on […]
I decided to create glass art based on one of my myriad of tutorials. The class I chose is from Sarinda Jones, her curious mondo & patron class – Fused Glass Sugar Casting. I’ve wanted to do this for a while. I love texture and sugar casting has a lot […]
In April I gave a fused glass class to four lovely ladies and this month I gave another one to three ladies. Thank you Merle for setting this class up for me. In my first class we made small dishes. Here is the class set up. I gave each participant […]
Last month I wrote about some of screen printed dishes. Of course, if you follow me you know I am addicted to screen printing: jewelry, dishes, etc. There are several different versions of pocket vases. This first set of screen printed pocket vases hang. I used various shapes and ways […]
A month or so ago Sharon, from Tulip Gifts and Cards, asked me for some purple fused glass photo stands. You may not know this but purple glass is made with gold so it’s expensive glass. Anyway I made her several to chose from. I’m curious which one she chose. […]

In last month’s Newsletter I wrote about adding gold to some of my fused glass pieces. I like the gold so much that I added the gold so much. I like the washi paper so here is the fused glass butterfly and flower with the washi paper and the other […]
I love flowers. In fact, last year when we drove over Grand Mesa, I must have made my husband stop 1000 times so I could take pictures of the flowers. When we went to Westcliffe last spring, I literally must have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers. And of course, […]
I love unicorns and I’ve had these molds for quite a while. The unicorn is casted, then I slumped it on a mold that allows it to stand. Then I added gold. There are several steps to create this piece, but I think it’s pretty cute. I made the deer […]
One of my friends and customers asked me to make her a fused glass snowflake on iridized. I think it’s beautiful and she seems happy with it. We kept it flat and put it in a stand. However, if she changes her mind, we can slump it into a bowl […]
During one of my craft shows I met this amazing artist named Merle, she created the most amazing gourds. I wrote about her and the gourd I traded for in November. During the visit she asked me if I could give her some glass cabochons so she could include them […]
