Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions page!
I've tried to think of all the questions you may have about the business and site. I also realize some of you may be familiar with glass fusing, and many of you are not. Here are some of the FAQs I get about the process and my shop.
Q: Why are some items "free" on the site?
A: Many of my items are bought as gifts. When an item sells, I set its quantity to zero and change the price to $0.00 so the recipient won't accidentally see the price. Eventually it will be removed from the sale site and added to the Treasure Chest.
Q: What do you make?
A: I make a of variety of fused glass items from pendants to ornaments to functional art for household entertaining and decor.
Q: How do you make them?
A: I use a process called fusing. Fusing involves heating the glass to very high temperatures in a kiln to melt it followed by careful cooling to minimize stress and impart some strength. Click here to see more information.
Q: How do I know when you have new items?
A: The best way is to sign-up for the newsletter. Those on the list get news and discounts first.
A: You can also click the link below to go to my Facebook page. Like and follow me to know when something new is happening.
Q: How do I order?
A: Click Shop Now or visit the How to Order page for details. You can buy all items from this website by clicking Shop Now.
A: A very small number of items are also on Etsy. Email me to arrange local pickup for any Etsy items, and do not order on Etsy.
Q: What about shipping?
A: We're excited to offer FREE SHIPPING on all items! Note that if you are in the Cincinnati, OH, area, please choose local delivery/pickup. It's faster for you and easier for me.
Q: Can I pay using any credit card?
A: If you order through the website you can use most credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. You can also email me directly to use PayPal or Venmo. In-person sales are by cash, credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or Venmo.
Q: How heavy is a glass pendant?
A: Pendants range in weight from less than half an ounce to just over one ounce. Earrings are about 1/10 of an ounce.
Q: Can you make something just for me?
A: If you have an idea of what you would like, contact me and we can explore your dreams.
