I love making Fused Glass Pocket Vase, including standing vases. When I was asked to make a few fused glass standing pocket vases for the Beckwith Gift Shoppe, I made them the following. The standing fused glass pocket vases below focus on the glass without design. The glass is so […]

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 […]
A couple of months ago I finished up some of my fused glass drop vases. Here are the pictures of them and the majority of them turned out beautifully. However, there were a couple that didn’t turn out well. The first picture shows how I separated it, the how uneven […]
