New Panel

Started a new panel last week. This one will be lead and I'm making it in a refresher class at my favorite glass shop.

I made the center focal piece by fusing two pieces of glass together. It incorporates all the colors in the panel.

Only have the border left to cut out. We start the leading process this Thursday.

Creative Glass Guild of Etsy August Challenge

"Butterfly on a Summer Flower"

"Summer in the Desert"

My on-line guild is having a contest for the month of August. The theme is Summer and we are each allowed to enter 3 pieces. So far I've entered these two pieces. The contest runs until August 25th at which time there will be a limited amount of time to vote for your favorite.

You can check out all the entries at:

I'll be back with more information on the voting a little later in the month.

Three Angel Ornaments

Three of my favorite angels so far. No room for kid's names, but these would be nice for Moms and Grandmothers. They measure 4" x 3 1/4", the perfect size for an ornament.

Coffee Anyone?

Found this stained glass pattern and thought it would make a cute gift for one of my CGGE friends. She always has our coffee, tea and chai ready for our forum chats. I decided to fuse it instead of making it out of copper foil. As always I learned a lot on this first fuse. It was fun!

Fun fused Angels

I'm starting to think about the upcoming holidays and a show I'm going to be in. I think these sweet angels will sell quickly. I'm hoping to make a couple of dozen, all different and some smaller that can be used as tree ornaments.

Butterfly Garden Panel

This one was fun to make. I used some of the glass bicycle reflectors for the flower centers and they add a wee bit of dimension to this one. I've been trying to make smaller panels to sell on Etsy, it makes the packaging and shipping so much easier.
