Hole in glass using Patty Gray dam
Hi, I emailed Patty but have not received a response. So, I am trying here. I use Patty's 8x10" dam a lot. All the first pieces I've made came out well. The last two pieces have big holes and bubbles in them. I use papyrus as she taught me in her class and store my molds in their original boxes...

Re: cracking during high fire
Thanks for the lesson. I am a self-taught hobbyist and did not know of this book. I'll pick up a copy. Guess I'll go on to learn some more lessons. I really like the effect of the bubble powder, so hopefully someday I'll be worthy of working with it.

cracking during high fire
I have a piece I used bubble powder on, using 90 coe bullseye glass. I fired it in 4 segments: 1 at 300 to 1100 hold 30, 2 at 9x to 1700 hold 10 3 at 9x to 1500 hold 30 and 4 at 9x to 960 hold 45 then off. I took it out and heard fine pops, could see very small fissures in the surface, so I refired ...

Re: Fusing glass to animal skull
Thanks for all the feedback! I love the rib dinner idea. I also like the idea of casting a skull, especially since I could kilnwash it and use it for repeated slumps. :) Ah, so many fun things to try. I will indeed post when I've actually done something along these lines. My garage (aka workshop) is...

Fusing glass to animal skull
I am interested in experimenting with slumping glass over an actual animal skull and hoping to fuse them together (sort of to encase the skull in glass). I understand that cremation of bones occurs at temps of 1,600 to 1,800 Fahrenheit, so it seems slumping will work, but I wonder if anyone has done...
