Was starting to wonder for awhile. Got back from Nauru in one piece with a fairly clear idea that I had to go back to basics with these blocks. Was isolated with gastro at a lovely hotel for three nights before NYE and as I was scraping vegemite onto my bread with my room key to make a cold rice roll it all came to me regarding three uniquely different works that I've been evolving, one of which is a group of blocks. Guess it comes down to sub conscience working behind the scenes. Will have to see if I CAN DO IT. peace, haydo
- Have steered away from this idea of creating an "all sort", it will work well for a much bigger slab with multiple layers and bubbles timed differently.
- This is the most boring angle of my first success with bigger bubbles, can't give too much away. It is the first of a group.

Thank you. Just waiting for third attempt with a block just using whites and clear, then it's onto stacking two caldera's for taller blocks to complete the project. Have made a few now, and am looking forward to seeing how a layer of pattern will look after distortion with a bubble. peace, haydo

Just found this post.....do you think you need to explain 'vegemite' and 'allsort'
? See from your recent post that there's an ambitious effort about to come out of the kiln. Look forward to seeing it.

Nah! Jen, like to be vague so I don't get held to account for my actions. The first taller block I'm doing has many more layers of colour so I have sort of returned to the idea of the All Sort minus the licorice. peace, haydo

To this day I can't eat licorice allsorts. The sight of them makes me squeamish! As a kid, on an occasion away from parental control, I ate far too many and was horribly ill. I'll peek at your glass confection through my fingertips.
Edit: Inserted 'u' after 'q'.

Could hardly believe the first comment, but now I understand. Actually the first image in this post has been shaped in a roundish fashion and polished, for jewellery box once I make a cast float glass lid to finish it off. peace, haydo
