I made these fused glass ornaments as holiday gifts for an Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska. They can be used as ornaments, as sun catchers or to hang on a wall. I love the bright colors and how the decal fuses so shiny into the glass. Contact me for pricing info next time you need a unique corporate gift!

I was asked by a client to do something with a drawing that her grandson had made. I have figured out how to fuse color images into glass and thought this would be the perfect application for it. I made two pieces – one with the image fused onto white glass and one with the image fused onto clear glass. I really like both of them. The looks are completely different, but effective. What a great way to preserve a special drawing. I am excited to do more of these!

For businesses looking for employee or client gifts, fused glass key chains are a wonderfully unique and cool choice! They are 1-1/2″ and 3 layers of glass thick. I can fuse the logo with the sepia image as shown below or for just a little extra, fuse in color like the UNMC key chain.

When I looked back on the month, I had no idea that I had done so much. I love mixing it up with custom work, fused images and custom gifts. I am blessed to have the most rewarding and challenging job where my only problem is not enough hours in the day!

This is my first custom fused glass job through my online order form! Since the order was for coasters, I had to crop the image square. I also noticed the the name of the school was a little washed out. I sent my client a few different options for cropping and photoshopped the school name darker. The personalized etching on the back really makes the piece special for the teachers who are the recipients of these coasters.
