it was Rob Morey's set-up.
click the link and all will be revealed.

Thanks, Kitty, but that was not the article that I was looking for.

I don't remember where it was that someone described a photo setup using 1/2 inch pvc pipe and plastic side curtains for shooting small projects. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Jim

hey jim ... never heard of Aleen's. where did you buy that? i might like to try it and see what happens. i'd have to order it online or mail order ... it's very unlikely it's for sale where i live. thanks! kitty. We get it at allmost any craft store. Michaels, craft warehouse, etc. the tube looks a...

i always did good surface prep, and even did sanding to resolve the problem with the clip earrings glue failures. I have had the exact problem, and have since swithced to Aleen's Glass and Bead slick surfaces glue, and haven't had a return yet, However that has only been about 8 months, so we will ...

I am fusing small pieces of glass with frit, and I just want to tack on the frit-so it still has it's texture. I also want to keep the slump shape of the glass which is bent, so I am thinking do the normal fuse and slump and then do a short third firing this time with the frit added...how high do y...

Almost all of my fused pieces have little spikes around the perimeter of the glass when I take it out of the kiln. I file them down, but it doesn't have that nice rolled edge that I want. I usually fuse at 400 to 1450, and hold for 10 min. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong. Thanks, Vickie Someth...

Check out the grinders at Kingsley-North http://www.kingsleynorth.com/grindingunits.html This is the type of unit you are looking for. They have multiple grit wheels right up to a polish so you start on one side of the machine and work your way to the polish end. These are a little expensive but yo...

JIM< Are you talking about you-know-who on Broadway in Morgans alley?(Not to subtle, am I?) I talk to her alot. She knows what devit and shelf primer are. I think she would be really open to your feedback. . :wink: No, Strega, this is someplace else. I don't want to give out any names, if you will ...

This stuff was not in the auction, but was on display for sale.

I really think that they need to be "educated".

Jim

I just got back from a gallery auction that has some of my work in it. While I was there, I saw some "work" that was just plain but ugly. These pieces were bases for ball point pens and were about 6 to 8 inches in diameter. they were made of lots of pieces of glass that were fused into a b...

Lani, Always one to rise to a technical challenge, I just went down to my studio with my trusty micrometer and measured 33 different pieces of glass... all System 96. I didn't select them for anything other than variety. I wanted to make sure that I had representative pieces from as many different r...

Are you referring to Bullseye's "double-rolled" clear or our "machine-rolled" clear?

-Lani

Does BE have machine rolled clear again, or are you refering to the old glass.

Jim

I just ran into an interesting situation. All of a sudden I started to have needling problems when fusing BE glass at 1480 F. for 10 min. I lowered the hold time to 7 min and then the joints between the pieces of glass on the top didn't completely run together. (There was a slight indent between the...

My original sign said "fused and lampworked glass", But the next one will read Kiln formed and torch worked glass

Jim

To echo Jim, Yes...and Yes..... Also, remember that they probably will not be water tight
