Winter has finally decided to show up in Minnesota. No, I’m not complaining about the previous lack of snow. I have really been enjoying the snow-free days that we have had. But, now that we now have snow outside, I am sharing pictures of some fused glass projects I have recently made.

To update the winter table decorations for my dining room, I created a mini winter scene.

Snowflake Bowl. 12″ circles with frit, mica and glass clay, full fused and slumped.

Scrap Glass Evergreen Tree. 6″ equilateral triangle of opal white glass, topped with bits of scrap white, contour fused and slumped over an arch.

Winter Trees and Fence. Scraps of clear glass and coarse frit, with a bird added to either side for some interest. This can actually double as a napkin holder.

Snow Houses. Pieces of clear glass, cut to shape and full fused. White frit powder was stenciled on to make the door and windows and coarse white frit was used to add “snow”.

On the table. A cutwork table runner and a garland of crystal beads, completes the decor.

At night I can add some tealights behind the houses for some more sparkle in the room!
