That's great--very clear. Obviously you don't get it powder coated with the glass on there so what did you use to test mount the pieces onto the frame? Do you mount it with silicone for the final assembly? I've used silicone and found it to be reliable but so far its been on a big surface area and y...

Oh this is too funny!!! My husband builds my frames so the "insert argument here" is hilarious to me! Here is something to tell Roger to make him feel better--I keep coming up with pieces that require a completely different kind of framing system from the last piece. Every time I complain ...

Stunning as usual Jackie--I like new coldworking textures. What is the back board made of--is it metal? and how are they spaced away from it--they seem to be floating.

I'm getting the impression its only for pieces that are full fused--not for anything sintered or in between sintering and full fuse. I mean at what temp. does its edges soften? If the only benefit is that it doesn't bleed--that isn't an issue in anything less than full fuse. -A P.S.Why will it be le...

Stiff Black

Just got my BE catalog today (finally). After going through it about 10 times I was actually able to settle down and really look at everything. Since I have a fondness for black and white pieces I was very interested in the new Stiff Black available. I'm wondering if anyone has used it yet and if so...

Could you be more specific about the kind of advice you need? Look at the upper left hand side of your screen and see the word "Tutorial". If you click on that you will get lots of good basic information.

Can't get past step #1. I'm too all over the map to be able to find an opposite in style or intent (screams "needs therapy" doesn't it) and the only tools I don't use, I don't own! I feel like I am always outside the box! I'm not sure that is a good thing... Anyway, looking forward to seei...

Amy- selling to another artist is an entirely different transaction. And most of those Chihuly buyers did indeed get a discount from the galleries, which is the root of the problem. Are his prices inflated? Most likely, and part of the equation is the discount. About final control of the retail pri...

Hey Marty may I have a fellow artist discount? I'd like to start collecting your work! No, no, no--why does having a Chihuly mean that they should pay less? It should mean that they pay more!! :wink: Your work is too good to be discounted and if they can afford to collect big name glass then they ca...

Oh Jackie I so needed to read this this morning. I'm assembling a complicated piece at the moment and for some reason everytime I get to the last stages of a piece I'm disappointed in it. Even if it came out just as I wanted I start finding flaws or worries about it. Here's the kicker--my work is qu...

When you get to customs just empty out your pockets--they'll do it for you anyway. Use this same method for purchasing glass, supplies and pretty much everything else.
