That is so fabulous. I love it so much.

Aww thank you! I really had fun making this one.

I love to paint 'kindness' rocks and place them for people to find as surprises. I make several of each theme. There's a local 'rocks' group on FB, and we write that on the back inviting people to post their finds, and, if they want, to re-hide them to see where they go next. The most recent post was one of the oranges, which made it to Oregon! It always makes my day when someone finds one of my rocks, and I hope it makes theirs as well. Your city may have a rocks group too!

I found a stash of photos that I hadn't watermarked with my signature stamp.
This one is a fused glass, ruffle-bowl created using a technique called "frit stretching". It was fired 3 times, at various temperatures to achieve the final piece.

This fused-glass piece ia an ornament created for a friend, in honor of her new grandson, Jack. This is my interpretation of Jack Frost. These ornaments take days to complete. The ornaments have layers of intricately-cut glass, take multiple fusing, drilling and embellishments. I like to add satin ribbon, glass beads and other small embellishments to some designs. I have created dozens of unique ornaments. The recipient of this ornament decorates several trees at Christmas. One is dedicated, solely to my hand-made ornaments.

Amazing finished product! May I ask if glass is typically only fired once? What do the additional firings do?
