There are so many stones to love…
It’s been 8 months since the flood and now I am back almost in the real world. I lost my studio, barn, garage and much fencing & thanks to many volunteers a few grants and much help from friends, things are coming together.
I finally have some new work that is totally inspired by what our river looks like now.
When I am on a hike one of my favorite places to hang for a while is in a grove of aspen. It is quite like being in a cathedral sanctuary. Bird song for the choir, quiet for the spirit. Special…
this window is a little to the left and above the cabinet doors pictured below and in a west facing window.
The last few weeks have been with wild iris images. They are so beautiful and one of my fav flowers.. They should be blooming in a few weeks, can’t wait.
These are doors to hide a flat screen tv…
Once again it’s been way too long since I have posted here… Thought I’d put up a few new pieces that have come out. Not that I haven’t been working, I just am not as good at posting as my many blog friends are. I read everybody else’s posts, just don’t think to get mine up. It usually takes me a while to get pics then I forget to post them… Will try harder.
This is a pic of a commission piece I recently did for a beautiful house up in the hills above Boulder. They have aspen groves and a visiting bear. Fun to do…

Marigold Bowl
I am loving working with frit again and playing with the color mix. This is a 16″ bowl all done with crushed glass (frit) on a clear base.
I just finished a sculpture I have been working on since April. A big commission for Que Bueno, a restaurant at Denver International Airport, terminal B. Please check it out next time you are flying somewhere. This piece was 80 square feet of 1″thick glass supported in a stainless steel frame. Much fun but I am glad it is finished. Just saw it installed and got a few pictures with many patrons present. I guess the airport never closes as this was at 9 in the morning.
What you need to know to create fun, beautiful objects in glass!
This is the perfect class for those who want a refresher course or for the complete beginner. It will be a hands-on intensive class that will cover the basics of fusing and slumping, including kiln and mold preparation, glass selection, project design, firing schedules, annealing, and compatibility testing.
We will make an 8″ two layered project using frit, stringer, paint, and mica.
