I love creating fused glass artwork. One of the things I focused on this month was fused glass snaps. I have three different sizes; large, medium, and small. This first picture shows my large snaps. Some are round but I also have a few that are different shapes. I like […]
The Mountain Arts Festival is coming up, August 4-5 and I will be having a booth to show off my beautiful Fused Glass Artwork. I thought I’d show some of my fused glass. Fused glass Essential Oil pendants and car fresheners. Fused Glass bookmarks and […]
Everything I do involves glass. Recently I took two webinars about concrete jewelry (Curious Mondo). They actually used different concrete. One is more concrete looking grey speckled and one is white. Of course when I use another media it all revolves around how I can use it with glass. The […]
So not only did my old friends come by I met some new ones as well. Julie came in wanting to match the teal in her shirt with a pendant. Within 2 minutes we found 2 fused glass pendants, 1 teal which matched her shirt perfectly and a red one […]
During my August show, one of my long time customers had a request. She wanted some of my fused glass earrings changed from posts and dangles to clip-on earrings. So I did it. I based it on whether the earrings were posts or dangles. If they were posts I put […]
July’s Fused Glass Newsletter’s focus is in preparation for my glass shows. My first show is in August in Woodland Park. If there is something you’d like me to bring to my Shows or to put on my websites please let me know. So for this blog I thought I’d […]
All year I have been focusing on the myriad of ways I learn new fused glass techniques; January’s Newsletter focused on the techniques I learned from a class I took from Patty Gray, February’s Newsletter focused on fused glass techniques I learned in classes I took from Tanya Veit, March’s […]
Fused Glass Mosaic Tiles is another of Tanya’s techniques she has on her fused glass website. I’ve never really done mosaics but I like this one. Tanya included 2 fused glass mosaic techniques in the one video. First I made two sets of mosaic using light blue and a rose […]
I love making fused glass jewelry. Typically I glue bails on my pendants but some are either transparent or are beautiful on both sides. But I tend to break a few so I wait until I have several to drill. These 2 are casted fused glass donuts, however after coldworking […]
As I mentioned this month I’m going to focus my blogs on fused glass webinars (Recycled Glass) by Jodi McRaney Rusho from Glass with a Past (on Curious Mondo). I just love these webinars both the format with curious mondo and Jodi’s classes. If you get a chance to buy […]
As I mentioned, this month my blogs will focus on Creative Paradise Inc (CPI) Molds. I wrote my first blog on jewelry molds including simple cast molds, holey molds, and hollow holey molds. CPI has so many different fused glass jewelry molds. One of my new CPI fused glass molds […]
2017 is the Year of the Rooster according to Chinese zodiac. The Year of the Rooster will start from Jan. 28, 2017 (Chinese New Year) and last to Feb. 15, 2018. Rooster is almost the epitome of fidelity and punctuality. For ancestors who had no alarm clocks, the crowing was significant, as it could awaken […]
Sometimes, when I create fused glass jewelry I make a block of glass to cut my pieces from. In metal terms a block of metal is called ingot so I thought I’d steal the term for my glass ingots. Anyway first I fuse various pieces of glass together. I added […]
I have some amazing customers that like to present me with challenges. At first both Ann and Melanie would ask me to change one of my normal pendants into a snap. Which was fun because it makes me look at my fused glass pendants in a new way. But recently […]
