Charlie,

Thx for the close up, now we can see your glass too! I like the colours you chose and I like the way you incorporated the gate design into your glass design on the medallions.

Charlie,

The gate looks great! How are you attaching the tiles to the gate?

I think the company's terms are very reasonable. They have probably spent plenty of time and money establishing their product and corporate image. They shouldn't let anyone who shows up at their door have special pricing nor should they allow people to sell out of their garage/store. If someone want...

I'm still new at this as well but I tried Back Magic on a few pendants (white irid and spring green) trying to shine up the backs - took it to 1000 and let it sit for about 10 minutes. When I checked on the pendants there were portions that discoloured to an ugly grayish black (from the lead) and th...

Thanks for all your input. I have started shopping for insurance and in anticipation of future shows I think it will be wise to just pay up now and have the necessary coverage.

Cheers!

Liability Insurance Required?

I have been asked to provide a certificate of insurance for liability for a show that I am doing. I don't have any....yet. Just wondering if most shows require this. I sent them a copy of my renter's insurance (ha!) and asked if that would suffice but I haven't heard back. It's just a small show in ...

Oh I'm glad you told me that - I should maybe expect a split or two in my little bowl - it's cooking right now. Learning curve. Thx again.

I think there must be a fracture somewhere and I just don't see it. I fused a similar piece a couple weeks ago and I know I took it out way too soon - still 500 degrees (I'm a newbie - I didn't know!) and I heard a bunch of pings - still didn't see any fractures. I refired and left if to cool down t...

Ping

Tack fused some Spectrum transparent - a 5 inch square of a bunch of bits 1/2 inch diameter and smaller, 2 - 3 layers thick - in a hotbox. I held the temp at 950 degrees and 750 degrees for 10 minutes each on the way down to anneal. Let it cool overnight and the next morning I'm walking by and hear ...

Quill ,

Just wondering what gauge wire you are using? I am just starting to do some wire wrapping and have been using 22 guage 1/2 hard. On some of my smaller pieces - 3/4" square - I have tried 24 gauge. Whatcha think?

I've had quite a few men make positive comments on the pendants I've worn - usually smaller pieces and guy colors - blues or golds. I've never had a man say "I really like your mauve pendant". With UT and also the music scene here in Austin there should be a market for it. Although, I work...

Candy, What dimensions are the sample tiles? I have an Evenheat hot box for making jewelry and I love it. Costs around $350 with a couple shelves - 4.5" square. You can also get a viewing window for the top - costs around $40 or $50 extra. No controller though, just a 5-speed dial. I don't thin...

Your cabs are looking good! I just bought a jewelry bit yesterday and can't wait to try it out. I checked out your website and now I want to make beads too - gorgeous work!
