glass cabinet knob

We redid the kitchen at the cottage this summer. Since I'm not all that handy my contribution to renovations usually entails assisting with the design/layout, holding things steady during construction and making refreshments.

I wanted to make something for this project so I decided to fashion knobs for the new kitchen cabinets and drawers.

I used a streaky blue glass that has a lot of white swirls in it. I was pleased with how these turned out. The kitchen cabinets are white, as is the back splash. The flooring is a dark resilient tile that has just a bit of blue flecks in it. I was hoping the knobs would pull the blue specks from the floor and add a bit of colour to the room.

frit = easy jewelry

I've done a lot of glass fusing since my last post and really need to get this blog updated.

I recently ordered a few jars of frit (glass that is crushed up into little bits). Frit + jewelry molds = the easiest way to make jewlery! I hade some fun combining colours to make a nice speckled effect. Here are some of the results:


Link bracelet, dangle earrings and pendant in turquoise, green and white


Red, black and white


Green and white


Classic black and white
