I conducted a Fused Glass ornament class this month. I hope Chris, Julie, and Jeremy had as much fun as I did. The three of them also took a small dish class with me a few weeks ago and I showed them some sample ornaments and they signed up for […]
In July I wrote a post about my fused glass sugar castings. In that post I said I couldn’t attach them to other things. Well, that turned out not to be accurate. I used some of the smaller ones on flower stakes. I really like them. You can still see […]
I decided to create glass art based on one of my myriad of tutorials. The class I chose is from Sarinda Jones, her curious mondo & patron class – Fused Glass Sugar Casting. I’ve wanted to do this for a while. I love texture and sugar casting has a lot […]
I love making fused glass Christmas ornaments. Additionally I like making stand alone (no pun intended). These little fused glass Christmas tree stands are wonderful. I haven’t glued the trees onto the stands yet so they can easily be changed out. I’m sure this design will also work for other […]
I’ve made fused glass trees e.g., aspen, etc. many times before but these are a new technique. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned Tabitha before, she’s a fused glass instructor in Croatia. I really enjoy her videos, she’s so much fun to watch. Anyway she did a video on these […]
I finished several Fused glass pendants this month. There are a myriad of techniques including: stringer, tumbled, screen print, etched, and dichroic pendants. To check out the YouTube Video of me showing off my fused glass jewelry click on this link. The pendants below are a bit larger so for […]
I mentioned in an earlier blog that I am cleaning up my studio. One of the things I had a lot of was glass that I never finished including frit. So I made a several fused glass pendants. These are casted pieces. I had an entire jar of blues and […]
Last month I wrote a couple of blogs about fused glass Halloween and Christmas artwork. I also made some night lights. These are a bit different, they can be interchangeable. The nightlight has a hook and can hold a fused glass art piece. Here are the 4 I made. I […]
In July I made a standing tree so I thought I’d make a few more. I’m not sure if I like the face more or the traditional ornament tree. I’d love to hear what ya’ll think. This picture shows my first standing tree (with a […]
In order to do well in the art community you have to get into shows. The best shows are typically juried. To get into those shows you have to have great photographs. The jury looks at the pictures to decide what handmade items are the best and allowed into the […]
March’s Fresh From the Kiln is based on this month’s fused glass review. I wrote a my fused glass review blog about one of Webinar Wednesday’s club Fused Glass Artist’s Cara. I enjoy her videos. But the video I blogged about […]
So April is Earth month and in fact last week was earth day, so I thought I’d show you my new Fused Glass Art fresh from the kiln. It’s a man, no it’s a tree, no it’s tree man. As I’ve mentioned several times pictures do not do fused glass […]
I just wanted to remind my followers that March is Women’s History Month. One of my favorite fused glass pendants to represent strong women is the tree in the shape of a woman. To me this decal stands for the strength that women […]
