Flowering Plant Suncatcher


I love to garden and have many plants in pots on our patio. We have terrible earth here, lots of rocks and sand. I saw this pattern in an Ed Sibbett book and was anxious to make it out of stained glass. I made this piece with Bullseye and Uroboros hand rolled glass. It really makes stunning stained glass pieces. This piece will be hanging in a good friends home as soon as I get it packed up and shipped.

Valentine Hearts

I've been enjoying working on some stained glass projects for the last few days. It's been a nice break from mosaics. I made these 2 hearts -- one is small 4"x4" and the red one is larger 7"x7". It's been fun to experiment with different glass and adding just one bevel to each heart really seems to accent these pieces.

Autumn Foliage Candle Holder




My favorite stained glass candle holder. I made this a few years ago and it sits on my coffee table year round. Measuring 15" in length, it holds 3 votive candles and just glows when they are lit.
I've only made 3 of these, the leaves and berries are a lot of work and time consuming but so worth the effort.

Christmas candle holder



I made this sweet candle holder using four pieces of glass I fused in my kiln. I added some beautiful clear mottled glass, red glass nuggets and green glass jewels as accents. Measuring 8" x 3" this piece is the perfect size to hold tealights or votives. It has a mirror base that adds to the reflective value when candles are lit!

Christmas Bevels





I just love these precut Christmas bevels that come in many different designs. Just add some of your own glass for accents and Viola! you've created a beautiful gift! Many of these that I've made over the years hang in people's windows year round...so beautiful when the sun streams through them and creates a prism!
If you're interested in one of these, send me a note!

Pocket Mirrors






























Finally fusing again, started with these super cute cosmetic/lipstick pocket mirrors, perfect for carrying in a purse. The small sewn cloth holders to protect the mirrors when not in use from scratches, etc. The mirror is glued onto the fused glass base and has been foiled and soldered with lead free solder, making these mirrors safe to handle!
These can be found for sale in my Etsy store.
