The graphic artist in me really loves bringing graphics to my glass. This class over at Bullseye in Portland and in Santa Fe shows how to do it with powder glass and screens. It’s coming to the Northern California location as soon as that location of Bullseye opens (Can’t wait. I can drive there.). The class is taught by Stacy Lynn Smith. the powder is pressed through the screen and can even be done directly on kiln shelf and then fired to create wafers that can be used in other pieces. All I can say is hurry up and open Northern California and schedule this class!! I’m shouting this!!

How to Make a Cozy Coffee Gift Card Holder
If you’re gift giving to a coffee lover give them a gift card to their favorite coffee shop in a handmade coffee themed gift card holder. Nicki created this delicious and cozy card with a rounded flap that has a die cut Cup of Joe and some tasty cookies. For the cookies she die cut and dry embossed them, adding some white pigment ink for color and texture and glitter for sugar. I love how the bold red mug pops on the blue card base!
Inside on the flap is a pocket for the gift card and a sweet stamped and die cut sentiment.
