Don't forget Urban Glass - on Fulton in Brooklyn.

Right up to the wire Geri. Wouldn't know how to function without the pressure cooker environment. Some of my best work is pulled out & resolved in the last hours. Something in my creative regions slips into gear, I visually/mentally engage and the crunch work time makes it happen. Because I work...

I used to buy 1/16" from one of my Colorado wholesalers. Sorry........ can't remember which one. It's been a very long time since I used it. Check with: D&L Stained Glass Supply, Inc. 4939 N. Broadway Boulder, CO 80304 (800) 525-0940 (303) 449-8737 (303) 442-3429 (fax) http://www.dlstainedg...

Whew.......pulled in late last night from our east coast show & vacation adventure. Fell in love with the nicely cleaned up Philly. It's a far cry from it's old, dirty city days. Luved the ethnic mix and architectural diversity and oh lordy - the next time I go there, I'm just going to take a co...

Food for thought:

(Thank you Rich S.)

Brad.....famous-osity comes in many forms - just like creativity.

.......and just how many of us will ever write a book, let alone have a published one with enough value to be auctioned?

You're famous - LOL!!

It has a reserve price, too!

Yes Charlie...........Ferro has pix of Absolut Vodka bottles in their literature. I slumped a couple of these bottles in matching colors for customers' kitchen decor. Tangerine and lemon, respectively were the drinks of choice for these ladies. The Absolut bottles have screen printed higher fire ena...

Oh YUCK!!!!!!!! This is just plain wrong, but thanks Ron for the link I can't imagine holding or even trying to pull decent note from that dead lump of plastic. How can it possibly vibrate? Here's a better idea: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/dcmhtml/images/11.7r.jpg Three antique French flutes made fr...

There's also some spray on and bake products on the market that will give a satin surface to glass. I just had a visit from the Ferro Co. rep in my area and he'll be back to bring samples of this product for me to try -- Organic Bottle Coating. The visuals in the company literature are interesting. ...

With much of our modern world being built on plastics consumerism, glass may well become a future rare & precious commodity. We use plastic coin to buy plastic stuff and then more plastic stuff when the original products reach their intended & built-in demise. Our housing, cars, clothing, fu...

Yuppers.......Ron. You hit the nail on the head about the plastics gig.

Good ole flash & dash dichro is a hit no matter what you apply it to.

MTV is one this guy's clients.

So any ideas of what's a ball-park asking price for a table by this artist?

Ah Ha............this technique I've seen. Any suggestions on what paints and/or paint surface sealants will promote longevity.

So Bert........if these panels are coldworked, is MK painting the colored areas rather than firing on enamels?

Quirky minds wanna know...........

I know how much you like them - big grin!!) What is Markian using for hinges and how are they attached? What do you recommend for ...

Thanks Bert........I've been setting my molds directly on my shelves with no apparent problem.

Just thought there might be some arcane heat and air movement knowledge that I was not factoring into to my castwork firing schedules - LOL!

Bert...........can the molds be placed flat on kiln shelves that are sitting on short legs in the bottom of a side firing kiln?

Or should the molds be slightly elevated on kiln furniture even above the shelf?

Thanx

Amy......try to place your baffles a good breather distance (air flow pathway - not touching kiln sides) away from your elements. The baffles reflect heat back onto the elements, which will create super heated areas. This can shorten the life of your elements and the surrounding fire bricks. I once ...

Jerry..........there's always the flashing "there it is - there it isn't" tongue stud market. It's such an interesting distraction to talk with my youngest who has this particular body adornment. I'm fascinated by her tongue - I rarely make eye contact with her anymore - LOL! Also Kitty, s...
