Finished some lampwork hearts & flowers with stainless steel wire to use as pendents or dangles.
This is my most favorite piece from Jim's fused plate.

Added one of my hummingbird beads to Jim's horseshoe nails heart.  I think Jim will have to make more hearts of several sizes for me!!
Using hammered copper with my lampwork glass hummingbird bead..still a work in progress???
Jim just made this heart from horseshoe nails. Now what to do?????‪   #‎hibernateandcreate‬

Jim made these copper pieces for earring.  I put them together today!!!

Hammered metal buttons make steampunk pendents.  Another Pinterest idea.

I finally found the antler buttons from Alaska.  I think they make great earrings.

Small pieces of fused glass for hair clips.
Hammered metal buttons for pendents.  A pinterest idea.
I am making small fused glass soap dishes to go with  my handmade soap.
I think is like this heart and lampwork glass hummingbird bead sun catcher.  Still a work in progress.
Primitive Heart with my lampwork glass bead.  I am thinking maybe I need a better heart shape.
I saw these on Pinterest..I just love buttons and had to make some...#‎hibernateandcreate‬
I finally put together these sun catchers from soldered hearts, lampwork glass beads and crystals.  Still working on my 31 days of creativity!! I have way more than 31 ideas floating around in my head.

Amazing I am still cleaning my craft room and found more crystal nail files.  I added fused dichrotic glass.  I am still looking for some antler buttons I bought in Alaska years ago to make earrings!
Two heart pendents.  #‎hibernateandcreate‬
I used recycled jeans to make more coasters.  #‎hibernateandcreate‬
Jeri Wiskus had many snap on items for sale at the MLG garage sale.  I added one of my pink cabochons...#‎hibernateandcreate‬
Kelli Sweet gave me these copper bracelets to bedazzle.   I added my lampwork beads and charms.

More fused glass pendents to add bails too.  I especially like the amber glass. It doesn't photo very well here.  But blue is always very popular too.
Added lampwork hearts to pieces of Jim's fused glass plate I cut into smaller pieces.  Now to drill holes without breaking them.  This always makes me hold my breath.
I like this pendent. ‪#‎hibernateandcreate‬
I added pins from Gail Boston to a straw heart covered in old lace.  I think is makes a pretty wreath.
Added clear/white frit to 2 more pieces from the famous bubble plate from Jim.  I have lots of great creations!!  Need to work on my shaping the hearts.  I bought new heart shaped cookie cutters at the New Hobby Lobby on Dodge.  It is so clean and organized.
Added dichrotic glass to a few more of the piece from the cut up fused plate.  I think these will be yard art too.....
Used some glass up.  I like the heart...only thing left to do is drill a hole...hope it doesn't break!!!
My ‪#‎hibernateandcreate‬ goal was to use items I already had but never used.  I like these coasters.

I pulled the pendents out of the kiln.  They are blue with dichortic. Now to add the bails or drill the holes....the work never ends.
Working on a green box with my fused glass knob. Would look good with bottles & flowers.  The knob would be great to hang jewelry.

I finished one pendent...several more in the kiln. Also I completed some more sun catchers.  I am glad the sun is out today, since is sooooooo cold outside!!
Gail Boston gave me a box of old jewelry.  Here are a few of the creations I made by adding a bracelet, an earring and a string of crystals to pieces of fused glass.

I just put these pieces in the kiln to fuse.  I sure hope I got them line up better that this photo shows.  I like to add pieces of dichortic to blue glass (from Jim's fused plate)  Re-purposing lots of items for my 31 days of creativity!!
Added clear frit with a heart cookie cutter for the shape. I am still using the glass from Jim's fused plate that had all the bubbles.
 I love the look!  It is hanging in my window near where I do my computer research...i.e Pinterest!

Made a magnet out of this fused glass heart.  I think it pretty but not sure the glass is thick enough??
I am still thinking on this.  Can't decide between pendants, sun catchers or fusing them on another piece of glass.


Created 4 sun catchers from Jim's plate.  The photo doesn't show the great dichrotic!!  I have many more pieces in the kiln.
Made candle bottle cap.  Michelle Young gave me lots over the years for crafts...
I hung this in our 1st floor basement.  Jim made this several years ago, I finally drilled a hole and it makes great art work!
Bedazzled a horseshoe heart Jim made me.
I have been cleaning the basement. I cut this piece of fused glass to create some new items.  The air bubbles should be gone when I am done?????
I made these for ornaments.  I think I like the black E-6000 better that the clear regular.  I bought the black by mistake but I think I can find items to use it up!!!  I have saved my perfume "Pleasures" bottles.  But other bottles would work good with  my handmade glass flowers.
