While I was at Doherty craft show I had a couple of questions about earrings. The first one was just simply changing out fish hooks for levers. It was an easy change and I did them right there within 5 mins. Additionally while I was at the craft show one […]
Yesterday I had another Arts and Craft Show at Rampart High School. I like Rampart’s show because I don’t have to set up and tear-down the same day. It’s so much work and hard on our bodies. Here are some photos from my Rampart booth. Just like Liberty show I […]
Last weekend I had my first art show in over a year. It was great seeing my customers again and sharing my love of glass. Here are a few pictures from my show. As always I held a drawing for those who signed up for my newsletter – the winner […]
I love fused glass jewelry. There are so many techniques and they are all beautiful. I’ve mentioned Tanya Veit many times, she’s an immensely talented fused glass instructor. She did a video a couple months ago on what I’ll call dot jewelry. I thought I’d do a quick post about […]
Last month I wrote a blog about selling some of my glass scrap. Well one of the people who bought some glass from me sent me a beautiful gift, actually she sent me 5. She sent me fused glass hearts that she makes. They are very beautiful and very large. […]
One of the aspects of fused glass that I love is it’s versatility. I make fused glass with various symbols including ribbons and puzzles in addition to the zodiac and Chinese symbols. But one that you may not know about is the semicolon – ; normally they are tattoos but […]
I love creating fused glass, which is why I write my posts and newsletters. It brings me such joy when I sell a piece of my fused glass, because it means someone else loves my glass as much as I do. With the pandemic I’ve continued to create my fused […]
My daughter bought a “my intent” bracelet at one of the craft shows I went to in 2019. She loved it and so did I. My Intent is a company that focuses on positive reinforcement bracelets. I liked the concept so much I bought a kit. Below is the kit […]
For Christmas I made a co-worker a beautiful purple and green fused glass bowl. I love this spirit glass but, shockingly enough I can’t find a picture of the bowl I made her. It’s similar to bowl below, but I put an elephant in one of the corners. She liked […]
Last month I received an email from a beautiful young lady who recently lost her husband. Her story really touched my heart, such a tragedy. She wanted to know if I could make a fused glass memorial pendant for her and another one for her sister-in-law. She also asked me […]
With Valentine’s Day coming up I wanted to show a couple of my new fused glass hearts. These first two are hanging fused glass hearts. The left one is made with frit and the one on the right is made with little cabochons on iridized textured glass. Since I made […]
While I was making the scenic pendants I fell in love with the “part sheets” I decided to use some of them as bases for fused glass flower pendants, magnets, etc. I’ve made them before and I love them so much it’s difficult not to make more of them. Here […]
I have had many fused glass instructors over the years and Tanya Veit from AAE Glass is one of my favorites. The first class I took from her when she was still doing traveling classes, It was mind blowing! I’ve taken numerous classes in her studio in Florida and watched […]
I’ve wanted to write this post for a long time. The frit is from a fellow artist named Val Cox. It’s extremely bright and colorful and so fun to use. The first thing I like to do is to make test sheets. Here are two of my test examples. It […]
