A few months ago, my friend Cathy showed me how to make micro mosaics. As a reminder, here are the ones I made with Cathy. Since I’m in Korea I thought I’d do some glass work and the only real way to do that is a mix media format. I […]
My friend Cathy and I have had several “glass dates”. She is a mosaic artist and I’ve taken several classes with her. Cathy is a kind, loving, and giving person. Something you may not know is she was asked to create a Memorial for the Club Q victims at UCCS. […]
Earlier this month I spent a few hours with my friend Cathy. Well, she went home and fused the flowers we made during our “glass date” then made even more. The ones we made are the top row then she made more, on the bottom row. We had such a […]
I’ve mentioned my friend Cathy, numerous times; she is a wonderful Glass Mosaic artist and instructor. We’ve been friends for several years and recently we agreed to have a glass date where we’d talk about mosaics and fusing, specifically incorporating fused glass into mosaics. Here is my studio setup ready […]
Recently I met an amazing woman, her name is Tracy; she is a police officer and a glass artist. This police-woman is one of the most compassionate, caring, and dedicated people I’ve ever met. We spoke about the current state of affairs and of the myriad of things she said […]
I’ve mentioned my friend and mosaic teacher Cathy many times in my posts. I’ve taken 7 classes with her over the years. A few years ago a friend of mine closed his stained studio and I bought his supplies including glass and molds. Some of the glass is fusible and some […]

I love making fused glass mirrors. Normally I use a mirror and small fused glass cabochons. Here are two mirrors I made recently, the first one can be either vertical or horizontal and has the glass on the inside of the bevel. The second one is round and the glass […]
I took another mosaic class from Cathy. I so enjoy Cathy’s classes. She’s such a nice person and I find Mosaics very relaxing. I still have a bit of cleaning up to do but I really think it’s cool. Below is Cathy’s post from the class. As you can see […]
I’ve taken several glass mosaic from a wonderful teacher here in Colorado Springs. Recently I took another mosaic class from Cathy, a lighted block mosaic. I’ve really grown to enjoy mosaics and I think the lighted block mosaic is my favorite. I chose to make a winter scene instead of […]

For those of you who follow my newsletter, you know I go TDY (Temporary Duty) a lot. I just got back from a TDY to Maxwell AFB, in Montgomery Alabama. I’ve been to Montgomery several times, this time we stayed down town close to the Alabama river. […]
In February I took a glass mosaic class at Full Spectrum in Colorado Springs. This month I decided I’d take another glass mosaic class and this time I bought a friend. Last time it was just tempered glass. This one actually included porcelain. Lela and I had a great time. […]
