I've been around glass my whole life. Both my father and grandfather were stained glass artisans. In 2002 I started working with stained glass, and in 2009 I started to explore fused glass. My blog is mostly about my journey in glass, what I've learned and what I am exploring. It's a wonderful adventure! 
This glass handkerchief vase came out of the kiln Tuesday morning. I used a drape mold from Slumpy’s called Sorrento. I love the shape of this mold.

It looks great sitting on my kitchen windowsill with the sun light shining through it. Can’t wait to see what it will look like full of white mums.
This fused glass sushi plate is another project I made in the fused glass class I took at Hollander Glass. We made pattern bars in the first class. The next class we cut up the pattern bars and fused them into another piece.
This glass business card holder was made using Slumpy’s stainless steel business card mold. I’m still tinkering with the firing schedule (aren’t we always?) but all in all it turned out great.
Made a recycled glass soap dish from some lighter colored green glass. I’m calling it Spa Green.
