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 :)

Finished at Last

I grouted the garden stone early this morning while it was still cool outside. I'm really pleased that the grout color matches the stone color so well.
I know it's going to look great in Mom's new flower garden.

Flowering Amaryllis Bulbs

This post isn't glass related, but I just have to share my Amaryllis bulbs from Christmas's past.
These bulbs were gifts in 2006 and 2007 and are now in full bloom in their pots.
They are so beautiful!!

Garden Series Mosaic Birdhouses

After making a mosaic birdhouse for Karen with Brendan and Logan, I really wanted to make a few more. I call these my garden series birdhouses. I've already made two and sold one! They are a lot of work but I love the way they turn out.

I loved making these, they were fun and challenging.

Howling Coyote Panel

A fun fused glass panel of a coyote howling at the full moon. I made this last fall and it's hanging in my studio window.
