One of my favorite things about fused glass is creating pieces that bring a little unexpected joy, and these whimsical plant stakes do exactly that. Whether tucked into a flowerpot on the patio, nestled among herbs in the garden, or adding color to a houseplant, each one is designed to […]
During May, I had the pleasure of welcoming three new students to my studio—Sheryl, Matt, and Jutta. One of my favorite things about teaching fused glass is introducing people to the art form for the very first time and watching their excitement grow as they discover all the possibilities glass […]
During May, I had a very special fused glass class that brought together a wonderful mix of students—Shana and Jase her son, along with two sisters Mary and Jane. Even though they had never met before class, they all got along perfectly. One of the things I love most about […]
During the last week of April, I had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful, fused glass class with Julie, Lacey, Stephanie, and Kari. What made this class especially fun was that they weren’t just students—they were friends and family spending creative time together. There’s something extra special about laughter, encouragement, […]
Normally, when I hold a class, I have a minimum of three students. However, this month I had a cozy class with just two lovely women, Jessica and Jenna. It was their first time fusing, and there’s something truly special about that first experience. As always, we began by reviewing […]
Back in May, I created a few fused glass doggy paws for my good friend’s stepdaughter’s dog, Aspen. Earlier in February, I made another set of special paws for Marilyn’s dog, also named Aspen. It’s so touching that both of these beautiful dogs shared not only a name but also […]
Brenda and Kayla, two of my amazing longtime customers, joined me for a fused glass class this month. I always enjoy creating with them—they bring so much joy and creativity to the studio! As always, I gave out a little thank-you gift to each of them. This month I added […]
Back in February, I shared a post about a special project I created for my dear friend Marilyn, who had recently lost her beloved dog, Aspen. She asked if I could make fused glass paw prints incorporating Aspen’s ashes—a heartfelt way to keep his memory close. I was honored to […]
Last month I posted the following new Fused Glass Plant Stakes, while I was making them I got excited about making some different plant stakes. So the tops of these plant stakes were previously casted pieces so I made the bottoms to fit and match the top. I also used […]
I love making fused glass plant stakes and thought I’d show them off. Aren’t they beautiful. I had some large flowers that I hadn’t used and decided to create some plant stakes with these beautiful flowers. Aren’t they special, especially the ladybugs. Of course I also made a tulip and […]
I held another fused glass class in July, this time it was for plant stakes and magnets. Julie and her family have taken several classes with me, they are all so creative. Here are the liability forms and their fused glass stirrers (their free gift). I also gave them an […]
I love fall, the colors and the crispness of the air. Sadly, almost all of the color is almost gone, and it snowed today in Colorado Springs and in Westcliffe. Here are some fall leaves made from glass. Aren’t they pretty? The big one is new and pretty large. I […]
I’ve been making a lot of fused glass stirrers and flower stakes lately. I normally keep them in a bottle vase, but I’ve made so many I’ve ran out of bottle vases, so I’ve decided to make some bottle glass vases more. These first two bottles have texture so I […]
Normally when I make fused glass plant stakes they are casted or cut design pieces. Here are some examples of some of my other fused glass plant stakes. They are all fun to make, I especially like using knives as the stake portion. But recently I saw a video on […]
