Want to add a little extra something something to your glass? Maybe some metal or perhaps bubbles? I was playing with bubbles today. Love bubbles. My favorite way to create bubbles in fused glass is to take two pieces of reeded glass and place them face to face, criss crossed and then fuse. Perfect bubbles. Rows and rows of perfect bubbles. But what if you want something more random? Try a bit of baking soda. Some people make a thin paste with baking soda and water, such as Susan Hutsko, or you can try what I did, which was sift it on. Tomorrow I’m going to try a thin paste too. I did let the glass get too hot and had some out of control, giant bubbles. Not good. Ask Mr. Google about it and you can find a few sites with information. And check out what some of them say about metals too…

Cardboard and yarn make great side-eye kitties
I love kitties and I love yarn, oh and “ugly Christmas sweaters” so this craft is happening now in my house. I have jars of scraps of yarn and of course recycled cardboard from boxes. Prowl on over to the blog Krokotak for the tutorial on how to make side-eye kitties in “ugly Christmas sweaters”. Have fun drawing all sorts of cat faces.
