Yeah! What an awesome time I had learning Introduction to Fusing
This glass was at Warner Stained Glass with instructor Dawn Grello
Dawn is an awesome instructor. I learned so much from her in such a short 3 hour class. For only $40.00 I got a 3 hour class, which cover all the fundamentals of fusing from kiln preparation and operation to what’s better: kiln wash or fire paper; from glass compatibility to decorating with frit and stringers. You learn about the different firing schedules by creating a 3” x 3” magnet and a pendant using frit, stringers and noodles. All materials were included. Tools were available to use in the classroom.

Do you have an old bulletin board?
Before you put stuff out for the trash look at it to make sure that you can not give it new life.
My husband Dennis drop off an old tv at our local recycling center and pick up this bulletin board.
Just buy adding a coat of paint, glue, and some glass gems from my local Michaels craft store I gave this old bulletin board new life.

Kisses to Heaven Mosaic piece
I'm so happy with my fiery piece "Kisses to Heaven" and "Free Spirit". My only son Chris passed away on Dec. 5, 2010 so this has been a hard year. I find great pleasure and closeness when I'm working on a new mosaic. My son was a gifted artist since I can remember. I knew I had a very special boy when he was three years old and only colored in the lines and made sure his other young friends did the same. As time went on he grew into an awesome artist. I miss him joining me in my studio and commenting on my new piece. So now I can only speak to Chris spiritually and push myself to create a mosaic piece better then the first and I love it and find great comforted in getting lost in my creation .
