The movers have come and gone and left us a huge beautiful mess of boxes and equipment. I say “beautiful mess,” because it feels so good to have all of this stuff out of my house and into space that seems custom made for what we need. All of the glass, equipment, supplies, and fixtures…
As a participant in the 2015 SVAC Open Studio event this past weekend, I was photographed and interviewed by the Sedona Red Rock News, our local newspaper. As it turns out, I was front page news! I was photographed doing a torch-working demonstration, making colored “twistees” for some future pieces. The event went extremely well,…
The creative artistry of fused glass bowls makes them unique accents for a home. As a decorative feature on a table in a living room, a colorful bowl is unlike any other artistic creation. Displaying art is a mark of distinction in any home, reflecting well on the knowledge and sophistication of the owner. Art…

I happen to be “stuck” on Kauai today, trying to get back home from my vacation there. My flight was cancelled last night and the airline had to put me up in the Marriott hotel, pictured to the left here. I know, I know, such hardship I have to endure! 🙂 So, I thought I’d…
I’ve had a couple of prior posts about my studio move from my garage into “real” studio space. First, I posted about moving into what seemed to be a wonderful building with great views. Then I posted about the building having lots of problems with it and being grateful for our building inspector who caught…
How Color Affects Your Mood and How Fused Glass Art Can Help
Did you know that the colors you use in your home can affect the way you live? It’s true. Whether you are painting accent walls in your bedroom or just interested in adding a spot of unique color in your living room with a piece of fused glass art, it’s important that you pay attention…
I’m still enjoying my explorations with these architectural pieces. Unfortunately, this river light sconce developed a crack during the slumping process, as you can see in the photo to the left. The crack runs directly across the piece from just above the brown area on the left across the green area all the way to…
