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
It’s been a busy winter so far, but some amazing things are beginning to bloom around here. March’s new fused glass designs were released at the beginning of the month and I added a few more 2008 TPB art pieces to my shop at the end of February too! Much of my joy in creatingContinue reading “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.

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: Chickadee Dee Dee
One of the most commonly seen birds in my backyard is the clever, curious, and very musical chickadee, recognizable by their sweet “dee dee dee” song. These little cuties love the bird feeder and don’t travel far like those that migrate to other regions each year. One afternoon this Fall, I was relaxing on myContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Chickadee Dee Dee”
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”
Backyard Birds: Bluebird Beauty
For a few months last summer, a young pair of bluebirds lived in an old birdhouse attached to the side of the large Locust tree in my backyard. It has been said that the bluebird has lived in writers’ and poets’ imaginations as age-old bearers of joy and reverie. It’s no wonder they got theContinue reading “Backyard Birds: Bluebird Beauty”
