For my last blog of the month, I wanted to share something close to my heart. I love donating my glass to worthy causes, and this month, one of my students shared a wonderful opportunity with me. She was organizing a fundraiser to help provide groceries for dinners served at […]
This blog post is a two-for-one treat: first, I’m diving back into one of my all-time favorite vintage curiosities—uranium glass (also known as Vaseline glass), I’ll show you the glowing creations I made from a rather dull-looking uranium plate I picked up not too long ago. If you’ve read my […]
June is shaping up to be an exciting month in my studio—I’m thrilled to be offering 5 fused glass classes! Whether you’re brand new to glass art or a returning student eager to explore new techniques, these classes are a fantastic opportunity to get creative, have fun, and leave with […]
Yes, another amazing and fun fused glass class — but this one was extra special! I had been asked to teach a parent and child class, something I had been a little nervous about for quite some time.Because glass can cut, I’ve always been very cautious about teaching children. Safety […]
One of my favorite Jewelry items to create is my fused glass snaps. I make large, medium, and tiny snaps. Here are examples of my large, medium, and the difference between large and tiny handmade fused glass snaps. Ironically, making the small, fused glass snaps is difficult. The glass has […]
I had a Fused Glass Home Show this month. I really enjoyed having my home shows. I like showing my visitors how I make my glass and where I make it. I have more fused glass artwork available when I do home shows. Here are pictures of my fused glass […]
I’ve been trying to use up some of my glass and finish pieces I’ve started in the past and just didn’t finish. This post shows I’m making a bit of progress. I love screen printing and I screen-printed these pieces a while back but never finished them. The first three, […]
As those who follow me know, I typically do 3 craft shows a year, this year because of my new job I’m only able to do one, Rampart High School. I participated in the Rampart High School Arts and Craft Show earlier this month. I always love talking about and […]
I love using Murrini in my fused glass art work. Most is 96 COE or 90 COE. Here are just a couple of recent examples. Murrini doesn’t just come in 90 & 96 COE, it also comes in 104 COE. In case you didn’t know the higher the COE the […]
There is a saying in fused glass “never refuse to refuse”, I’m a firm believer in that concept. When I first started fusing I got to the point where my pendants were 2 – 3 inches, which is a bit too large for some people. So I looked through some […]
One of my favorite Jewelry items to create is my fused glass snaps. Here are some of my medium snaps I’ve made recently. I also made some fused glass small snaps. Making the small fused glass snaps is very difficult. They have to fit into the bezel and that’s a […]
I’ve always struggled with making fused glass earrings because it’s difficult to get fused glass pieces similar enough in size and appearance to be earrings. I just finished a few posts, dangles, and even a few sets. Here are some of the handmade fused glass dangle earrings I made. If […]
I love Murrine and Millefiori. In fact I buy it all the time from several different artists. Murrine is little pieces of glass that are cross-sections of cane that reveal images. According to Wikipedia, murrine “first appeared in the Middle East more than 4,000 years ago and was revived by Venetian […]
In another post, I showed you the Fused Glass Resin Mosaics I made recently. For those of you who follow my posts / newsletter you know I love flowers. I thought I’d add some dried flowers to fused glass with resin. I think they turned out really well. I still […]
