This multi-layer bowl is made of four levels of glass. The base if a cloud white topped with glass confetti in multi-colors. Then that is topped by a clear layer of glass. That layer is then topped with floral patters using the Ann Nye techniques for painting with glass. Finally, the glass is slumped into an 11 inch shallow bowl shape. It can be used on display or used on your table. You can even put it in the dishwasher. (I don’t recommend the microwave – let’s not push it!) Now that’s what I call “functional art!”

Aspens at nighttime

Can you imagine being in the Rockies and looking through the Aspen’s at nighttime? Deep Blue iridized glass is used as a background to give the illusion of a moonlit night. The golden aspen leaves glow from the moonlight and the ground is covered with all the colors of a Colorado fall. This disk is 10 inches in diameter and contour fused to give texture and depth.
Country Field

A country field with flowers and a stately shade tree are the theme for this fused glass platter. Made using glass frit as a watercolor technique, this platter is a reminder of the beauty of spring time in the plains. If you look close – there is even a white building in the background. This disk is contour fused to give it texture and depth.
Fall in the Aspens

Another creation using glass frit. “Fall in the Aspens” is the theme for this platter. It is a 11 inch circle with deep amber, oranges and browns – typical of the late fall in an Aspen field. There is even a little bit of copper color in the trees. This is my tribute to my time in Colorado. (I’m just a little bit homesick for the Rockies.) $250.00
Cherry Blossom Plate

I finally get to apply some of the things I learned from Ann Nye’s Class. A spring time Cherry Blossom tree decorates this 11 inch clear disk of glass. The bright pink blossoms are beautiful and there is even a little Cardinal on one of the branches. This was so much fun to make.

Blue Poppy Dish
Purple Cone Bowl – 7inches
Fused Glass Photo/Note Holder

This photo/note holder is made of fused glass with a clear pocket on the back. Shaped in a double curve – it is a perfect way to get attention. Measures: 4″ X 12″. And YES that is my nephew and I am very proud of him!
Light bars on mini-stumps
Fun and a little eclectic, these pattern bars are contour fused pieces of glass on a clear base. Standing on a piece of tree branch resembling a mini-stump, they create a wonderful contrast between the smoothness of the glass and the rough texture of nature. These little light-bars shine beautifully in any light. These would be perfect for a small window sill, desk or even on a bookcase. Available at “The Garden Gallery” $20.00 each.
Black Dish with purple iridized key

This beautiful Black opal fused glass plate is embellished with a purple iridized glass key centered in the middle of the piece. This dish will add class to any table. The plate measures 5 inches by 10 inches long. It is slumped into a shallow form raising the edges just under 1/2 inch.
