I thought it might be interesting for some to see the process in creating the color bars since we lost a bunch of older posts on how to create. Hope it might help a few artists to create with movement and fun.

Hi Havi, have not talked to you for some time now. Have been away in the U.S.A. creating and enjoying Uroboros Glass Company so much. The last one is a corner of the middle Cast Piece . It is the 27 inch by 27 inch by 1 inch. I had alot of fun creating the color bars and then re-investing into the c...

Amazing work both of you. Love the cane work for sure.

Thankyou so very much fellow Calgary Glass Guild member and always helper. Soon I hope to have a new computer. First I have to STOP purchasing glass.

Thanks so much Shawn, I wish I lived closer to Victoria , B.C. and we could go for a walk on the boardwalk as I miss the ocean so very much. I hear you are visiting there. Perhaps a few other artists on the island could send you a private PM and hook up with you. When I get some nice professional pi...

This is the larger one but the back side of it. It is 46 inch x 22 inch x 1 inch

phpoPpBT4AM.jpg I thought I would share what I was up to at my Uroboros Residency in Portland. It was truly wonderful and met some wonderful artists , and of course the owners and Kat and Bill and all the staff are totally super. Carol Carson and I finally met and we laughed so hard because we both...

Raphael, as always, it is truly stunning work. You have captured such wonderful personality . I love the hair in both pieces and thankyou so very very much for sharing the progression shots. I hope you love firing on my Dyson shelves too that you so kindly helped me store at your studio , and was so...

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee40/twin_vision_glass/SMALLT2.jpg Hello, Well to start off with it is an honour to be discussing mold materials with you Colin. I have watched your work for many years. My twin and I have been using Zircar Mold Mix 6 for many years and this is a picture of a piec...

Just a very light dusting of spray though so you don't change the texture of the piece. Les

Not at all Haydo!!! This has always been my major problem.I am the first to admit it. I live so far away from the city and to get a stand (or even new clips soldered onto the tall stand you see here) (which is not finished yet ) and I tried to say this in the beginning of the thread but sorry I was ...

Well thanks to all who enjoy our beautiful surroundings as much as I do. In all parts of the world there is unique environmental inspiration. We cannot help but be influenced by the spectacular mountains, rivers and lakes, just as you are influenced by flowers and pieces you carve Peter. . Les

Dear Tom, there are sooo many great products out there . I am so glad that you are experimenting and loving the results. The nice thing about rubber is that it will last for many many years and is plyable so that undercuts are not a problem and it peels off like a glove. Would love to see some of yo...

Oh Ellen, isn't that funny. My family walks by doing this #-o as the piece gets larger and larger. I try to make things tiny, but well, if it is small it usually sits infront of something larger. I feel as if we are the luckiest people on earth to be able to create. I truly love the creation almost ...

Dear Sheila and Barb, thankyou for those kind words. I would love to pursue a Gallery in the U.S. again and am going to pound the pavement I think and look for one in the Portland area as it gives me a great reason to travel there .I love Portland. Now that my twin and I have stepped back from teach...

Lynne, here is the last one that hopefully shows how thick it is and the overhang for strength at the edge . Les

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee40/twin_vision_glass/P1010649.jpg I hope this has helped . The last one is the rubber cut so that it comes off well. It is also important as you are painting on the rubber to make sure that you thicken where you are going to cut the rubber so the seem is not fli...

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee40/twin_vision_glass/P1010650.jpg Lynne, here is the mother mold laid out after coming off in special pieces made specifically where no undercuts are , this is why all the 5 parts or whatever it takes. I will post 2 more pics so you can see it being build piece ...

Hi Lynne, where to start with the questions. let's start with no wax bits. I scrape with my scrapers and scope it up, roll it up in my fingers and press it back onto the piece to make hair or change the nose or something. I use a wheller gun to weld bits and pieces onto or off of him as I go. It is ...
