April Showers Bring May Flowers

Earlier this year I was away from my glass studio managing six back-to-back FIRST Robotics competitions in different cities each week. While away, I found creative inspiration at every turn but had no way of creating any glass art for nearly two months because of the extensive traveling. Needless to say, I was eager toContinue reading “April Showers Bring May Flowers”

Artist Proofs, A Tiny Art Series

Anytime I have a design idea that mixes new colors or pushes the limits of what glass can do when being fused, I like to create tiny test pieces. I call them my “Artist Proofs” or test tiles. Sometimes they don’t work out the way I think they will; some are even better than IContinue reading “Artist Proofs, A Tiny Art Series”

From Fields and Gardens to the Ocean Deep

The Magic of Love and Friendship

This month’s new fused glass art release was inspired by the natural beauty of Oregon’s mountains, gardens, and fields of flowers.

Mountain Magic My very first visit to Oregon began with a drive to Mt Hood.Continue reading “The Magic of Love and Friendship”

Backyard Birds: Nuthatch’s Song

When I sat down to work on a hummingbird drawing I started several months ago (meant to be the 12th in my Backyard Birds series) I realized I hadn’t honored my love of the nuthatches yet. So, I set aside that sketch and let my admiration for these funny little feathered artists come through myContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Nuthatch’s Song”

Backyard Birds: Hummingbird Happiness

I think it’s time I shared the Hummingbird story I mentioned in my first Backyard Birds post a couple of months ago. One afternoon in July I spotted a tiny baby hummingbird perched on top of one of my tomato cages. It looked as if he was confused or injured. Maybe it had been orphanedContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Hummingbird Happiness”
