Elf Legs

12/08/08 - Christmas Elf Legs - This cute design is very easy to design and assemble, but does require the use of a glass saw. There is a lot of detail in the shoes that would be impossible to cut without the use of a saw. You can add a couple of dots to the toes of the shoes to resemble bells on the tips. After fusing, use Pebeo Vitrea paints to add the details and then cure the paints in an oven according to the directions on the paints.

Christmas Candy

12/05/08 - Cellophane Wrapped Candy - This is the first of a few new fused glass Christmas patterns. This is a pattern that I thought about a few months ago and just had to make for the up coming holiday. Use a little fiber paper around the edges to add that extra wavy detail.

Traditional Turkey

11/19/08 - Traditional Thanksgiving Turkey - This is a pattern that resembles the traditional turkey. He is detailed and colorful that will be desired by all of your family and friends, so be sure to make quite a few. A glass saw is required to obtain the detailed feathers and body. Fuse this design to a tack fuse to keep all the details.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie

11/17/08 - Pumpkin Pie - Who wants more pumpkin pie? This delicious pin is a little on the weighty side, but it sure won’t put the undesired pounds on your figure. Because of the multi-layers it takes to make this design, the pin is a little heavy. Be sure to fasten it on your outfit by pinning it through your clothing and also your bra strap.
