I don’t know about you but I love frosted glass like sea glass. After watching a class with Jodi a year or two ago I bought a rock tumbler. I never used it until the past couple of months then I went nuts! Jodi was right a tumbler is amazing!! […]

In my last post I showed some of my fused glass pendants that I drilled holes into. I thought I’d show you some of the pinch bails I used, needless to say I’m pretty much out of bails now. I need to get better at wire wrapping. Anyway, here are […]
Do you want to know a little secret? I really don’t like drilling into pendants. Typically I glue on a bail but sometimes the piece is either transparent or they are so pretty on both sides that I just have to put a pinch bail on it. Sadly I can’t […]
I love adding fused glass decals to my fused glass cabochons. Typically when I make cabochons I have a box that I put cabochons in that I think would look great with a decal. I then will sit down and look through my decals that I think match the cabochon. […]
I have probably about 4 different types of enamels, that I’ve barely ever used. These fused glass pendants turned out great. I painted the backs of several cabochons to see how they’d turn out. Luckily I didn’t have to fire them too high. Here are the red cabochons. I love […]

I’ve been busy making some new fused glass jewelry. The cross is beautiful and is made from the millefiori and murrini I bought while I was in Murano, Italy. I also made some fused glass rings. The pieces on the left are mosaic held in place with resin. The two […]
Last year a good friend of mine who is also a social worker asked me if I’d consider donating some fused glass pendants for “her kids”. I did and it made me feel so good that I did it again this year. I picked out 100 pendants put cords on […]
Last month I wrote about some fused glass beads I made but didn’t make them into anything until last month. Well this month I did the same with completely different fused glass beads I made. Below are some options for my new fused glass beads e.g., key chains, bookmarks, etc. […]
Liberty was my first school craft show. It was great seeing so many of my customers and friends. I enjoy hearing how they love my work and how they display my work. It really lifts my spirits and reminds me why I continue to create my glass. […]
