Black and White Fused Glass Spoon Rest

Dave helped me make this fused glass spoon rest.  I decided to make a black spoon rest, but I hadn’t come up with a design.  I was stuck.  So, I asked Dave if he had any ideas.  Right away, he said to put small white pieces of glass all over it.  So, I asked him what he meant.  So, he got the jar of white glass and looked through it and started to pick out pieces.  He cut a lot of them to get the right size and he wanted them to fit together.  Isn’t he a sweetheart?  He can come up with ideas so fast and easy, sometimes.

We didn’t glue the white pieces to the fused glass spoon rest, so they scattered as I carried it upstairs to put in the kiln.  I couldn’t figure out how the puzzle went together, so Dave glued the white pieces to the fused glass spoon rest.  This worked out so much better

Didn’t this fused glass spoon rest turn out great?

Grape Cluster Fused Glass Plate

I love this fused glass plate!  I originally made a grape cluster with leaves design on a fused glass spoon rest.  I liked it so much, I thought I would design one for a fused glass plate.  For someone who has a grape or wine theme in their kitchen or dining room, I think this fused glass plate would fit in very nicely!  Wouldn’t it be the perfect plate to serve cheese and crackers with your wine?  Also, you can display it on a shelf when you are not using it.

Making this fused glass plate was a lot of work, but I really enjoyed the process.  I cut each grape and ground it so it was smooth.  I used a ring saw to cut out the leaves.  I used a candle flame to bend green stringers for the stems.

This fused glass plate measures 8 inches by 8 inches.  I used an 8 inch square Slumper Mold to get the shape.

Let me know what you think about this fused glass plate!!  I’d love to hear from you!  It doesn’t take long to make a short comment

Absolut Vodka Bottle Cup or Vase

David made this Absolut Vodka Bottle Cup or Vase.  He used a tile saw to cut the top off.  There were sharp edges, so he polished the rim.  It is so smooth, now, that you can drink a very, very large martini from it!!  He made several different kinds, like Absolut Citron, Pepper and Mandarin.  He also made a couple from Grey Goose Vodka Bottles.

These can also be used as vases for fresh or dried flowers.

White Fused Glass Coasters

These white fused glass coasters were hard to get a decent picture of the iridized crackle glass on the top.  They are similar to other fused glass coasters I have posted to this blog.  Other colors include red, blue and black.

At an art festival we attended, we sold a set of white and and a set of black fused glass coasters.  The lady who bought them thought the two colors would look great in their living room when they were entertaining.  She said they would contrast nicely.

Red Fused Glass Bowl

This red fused glass bowl was made with coarse cherry red frit (crushed glass).  The second picture is looking down into the bowl.  You will notice small holes and, well,  this was intentional.  This fused glass bowl will not make a great soup bowl , but it is very unique, otherwise.  It will make a great conversation piece as a centerpiece on a table or displayed on a shelf.

The diameter of this fused glass bowl is 9 inches.  I spread the coarse cherry frit on a kiln shelf and tack fused it, so the glass frit looks like I just poured it onto the kiln shelf.  After I tack fused it, I slumped it to get the bowl shape.  This fused glass bowl is fragile, so care must be taken with it.

I want to make larger fused glass bowls like this one.  First, I need to find a great bowl mold.

Blue, White, and Clear Fused Glass Plate

This fused glass plate is quite substantial, so it is great for a centerpiece on a table or displayed on a shelf.  It is functional, as well, so use it to serve appetizers or a dish at your next meal.

I used two layers of clear glass 11″ square.  I added the blue borders and the blue and white squares on top of the clear glass.  After fusing all the layers, I slumped it into a plate mold to get the shape.

Snowman Fused Glass Sun Catcher #3

This is the third Fused Glass Sun Catcher out of four. This one I fired a bit longer than the other snowmen fused glass sun catchers. The effect of the firing makes it look like the snowman is melting. A melting snowman is probably happening somewhere in the US right now.

Snowman Fused Glass Sun Catcher #2

I made four fused glass snowmen and this one is #2. I make each one a little different — usually the scarf is a different color and some have snow falling. This fused glass snowman has arms.

Snowman Fused Glass Sun Catcher

This Snowman Fused Glass Sun Catcher finally got a chance to get its picture taken.  Although there isn’t any snow where I live in Oregon, I know a lot of you are getting a lot of snow.  We like living here, because we don’t have to shovel snow!!!  If we want to play in the snow, we can drive up into the Cascade Mountains where there is a lot of snow.

However, I was looking at some pictures from a few years ago around Christmas and I was making a snowman from real snow!  Now that was very unusual.  However, my snowman didn’t look like the snowman in this fused glass sun catcher
