Ruby Throated Hummingbird



Finished this small suncatcher yesterday. I seem to be stuck on birds lately, I love the way this one turned out.

New Stained Glass Pieces




Notice the fused cabachon centerpiece in the flower. It gives this piece a lot of pizazz!


I made these over the weekend. I listed them on Etsy today.
It was a nice change from working with mosaics.

Dichroic Glass Necklace







Smokey Lady, one of my fellow Creative Glass Guild of Etsy team members purchased two of my dichroic pendants to use with her handmade beads for necklaces. Her Etsy store is: SmokeyLady54.Etsy.com

The first necklace she made and listed on Etsy for sale was made with a ming green dichroic glass on a wispy clear/white base with a clear cap. She matched the pendant beautifully with her own beads.

I'm so honored by her choice to use my work in her beautiful jewelry creations!

Jellyfish Garden Stained Glass Panel


I received this picture from Sonnee, a member of my on-line Glass Guild who bought the Jellyfish Garden panel.
She sent me a picture of it hanging in her Florida home.
It looks great with the Palm behind it.

Another Birdhouse




It seems I've been making mosaics only lately. I made this birdhouse using a random cut swirl pattern with iridescent purple and white glass. I wanted something different as an example for the class I'm going to teach this summer.
It turned out very different from the others, it has some sparkle!

Hummingbird Garden Stepping Stone




It's grouted at last!
I'm very happy with the way it turned out, the dark grout makes all the colors just POP.

New Desert Garden Birdhouse



I've been busy grouting and finished this new birdhouse. I used Plum colored grout and it didn't turn out as I hoped. The plum is darker than I thought it would be and the pink flowers on the front of the birdhouse don't pop out as much as I'd like.
Live and learn :)
