Sun Catcher

 These are the blue glass fish that I have cut by hand.

 Prior to being placed in the kiln. I also fused fish hooks in them.

This is how they look after being baked in the kiln.

 I Love these little fish! I will be hanging them by fishing line.

Finally Friday! Keeping up

Ill be posting my fused glass photos over the weekend but I needed a day to catch up with things. I will be giving some attention to my Etsy teams and making some treasuries, working on my shop, websites.



Creating handmade items has been a very rewarding experience for me. Almost therapeutic. I enjoy taking that piece of glass and creating wonderful glass gifts through fusing, painting, and cold-working. Ive been crafting for a long time, like most, but i also would like to create some gifts of different materials. Any ideas for creative items that you would like to give as gifts? I have a ton of ideas but if anyone wants to share some let me know.

Glass Fish Ready for the Kiln

These are blue glass fish I cut yesterday and they will probably spend 7-8 hours baking in the kiln today.

Thirsty Thursday

Thirsty Thursday

OK Wake n Bake Wednesday didn’t work out how it was planned as things rarely do. Life can sometimes put these little bumps in the road. No problem. I did as much glass creating as I could yesterday and called it a day.

I did finish up a couple orders and I did get the sun catcher drawn yesterday. I also cut out little fish from blue glass. The fish will be part of the hanging glass on the sun catcher. The little fish will be in the kiln today. I will be fusing trotline clips in them for easier hanging. That will be cute, fish hanging from the trotline clips with fishing line attached.

While the blue glass fish are in the kiln today, I will be cold working glassware for THIRSTY Thursday creating new designs for our favorite drinks. I plan to make some shamrock shots and something with martini glasses. I kind of like the fish theme, I’m a Pisces, maybe I’ll continue with that.

Making sun catchers today

Im making fused glass sun catchers today. I will need to draw the sun catcher on paper then start on getting the glass cut.

Wake n Bake Wednesday

Today is a great day. Wake n Bake Wednesday is all about being up early baking homemade cinnamon rolls for the family and spending the rest of the day baking in my kiln. When days start out perfect like that, they are wonderful. However today did not start out like that. I overslept, so the family gets the refrigerated Cinnamon rolls and I didn't even start up the kiln yet. So in order to have my glass finished today I will have to work into the night. No need to panic it can still be a good day just getting a little bit later start and plan to stay up later tonight.

Sun Catchers

I just added a couple of new fused glass sun catchers to my Etsy shop. They look nice hanging in windows. The perfect spring gift.
