embellishment
Struggling to find a unique, meaningful gift for that special someone? You should consider buying them an intention plate.

I hope that everyone had a great New Year’s Day. Speaking of holidays, here is one last piece of holiday fused glass: my poinsettia bowl. It measures 13.5 inches in diameter and 1.75″ deep.

I was playing with some scraps of new glass…
A Choice intention platter just came out of the kiln yesterday. In this larger (about 14″ square) piece of fused glass art I chose dichroic glass instead of copper mesh for the embellishments. The dichroic glass seems to add sizzle and character to the different directions you can choose from. The arrows are made from…
This is another piece of work that came out of the kiln last week – a Celebrate Intention Platter. I’ve been working on this one in stages for a while now, and I’ve finally got it completed and cleaned up. The intention for this platter is Celebrate! and you can see the intention in the…
I’ve been doing a little playing with glass while taking a screen printing on glass class with Louise Krampien at the Bullseye glass factory. For me, the Bullseye glass factory in Portland, Oregon is my glass Mecca. Sure, Murano, Italy would be my first choice of a place anywhere in the world to go to…
