Garden Stakes Sale

Colorful, handmade garden stakes in bright, sunshine yellow are the perfect gift for any gardner! I handmade these with glass which I fused in my kiln and then I etched the herb / vegetable names in black. To top it all off I drilled a hole at the top of each one and added a handy jute string to hang these up in the garden shed when you're not using them. These are my unique creation!

Really Cute Summer Dandelion Seed Key Chain


This key chain is part of my new spring / summer design and I really love the overall feel and look of it. I made this out of fused glass. To make this cute key chain I cut a piece of brown glass and prepared it so that I was able to paint my design on it. In this particular technique you cannot just use any glass paint, it was special paint for fusing at extremely high temperature. After I was done with painting (free hand), I let it dry and then I prepared a clear top glass piece that I placed over the painted one. I do this because the overall finish is professional and smoothe.

This is a unique piece. I usually prefer making one of a kind pieces. The key ring part is a large ring which adds to the beauty of this piece as a whole. Click here to read more about this key chain.
