Notes! Notes! And more notes! I keep notes on everything I fire. Unfortunately I often jot my notes down hurriedly. Later I sometimes look at my notes and wonder what the heck I was trying to say. Today I finally sat down and transcribed all of my little sticky notes. Well, except the ones I […]
Someone recently asked about advice for setting up a glass workshop. My work space was more of an evolution than a thought out plan. In fact, when I first started doing stained glass, my “workshop” was a plywood board on two saw horses in the breezeway between our house and garage. That changed the day […]
Opened the kiln this morning to find this… It might be hard to see at first, but the top layer of glass cracked as it was heating up; usually the result of heating up too quickly. The bottom layer was a transparent cobalt blue that “seeped” up into the crack of the lighter blue as […]
This is the result of my “what if” experiment from a while back. I took irregular shaped strips, placed them on edge and fused them together. The result was a piece that reminded me of rock strata. I stared at this piece for a very long time wondering what to do with it. For me, […]
I am not sure I have ever done a post showing the fused glass process from beginning to end. The short description is taking pieces of glass and fusing them together to make something wonderful. But here it is way more detailed than that. Here is a look at the process. With a design idea […]
It was time to play “what if…” again in the glass studio. I recently reorganized my piles of glass and found I had a plethora of thin black and white strips of glass. So I started to wonder. What would happen if I placed these random size strips on edge and fired them together? And […]
I love seeing how glass is combined with other mediums and used in public spaces. Today I am sharing the work of Creative Stained Glass Studio based in Denver, Colorado. Creative Stained Glass Studio has produced many hundreds of Colorado stained glass windows for churches in addition to public, commercial and private stained glass window […]
I enjoy cooking and like trying new recipes. I also enjoy sharing meals with friends. Fortunately they don’t mind me trying new things out on them. The good news is that I don’t think I ever had a real disaster; other than the cake that fell off the cake platter as I was carrying it […]
I am excited to be starting the New Year with a stained glass commission. I will be making panels for a dining room cabinet and for a wine cabinet. The design for the wine cabinet is still underway, but will definitely be a grape vine theme. The dining room cabinet panels will be traditional beveled […]
Anyone else remember that sequence of key presses? Back in the day, when my computer screen would freeze up, or my mouse suddenly disappeared, or any general weirdness went on, I would press this keystroke combination to reboot my computer. It wasn’t a complete shutdown just a refreshed start up. In this New Year, 2015, […]
