I get pretty good results photgraphing the cabs on my light table, but with the light table turned off, and shooting through a hole in the bottom of a 5 quart ice cream bucket. I then have to do a little white balancing in Photoshop. http://www.clearwaterglass.com/images/Pendant_i.jpg Steve http://w...

Just walk away Dick....bad news I agree. But, if you're still interested, contact a few of the artists they represent, and see what kind of experiences they have had with the gallery. I have done that myself, and have found everyone I contacted willing to give me their opinion, (particularly if the...

BECon/Legacy
Jackie, The meeting was incredibly interesting and informative. The Legacy exhibit was very nice, and of course, your piece generated much interest. Here are Doug and Avery marvelling at your work: http://www.clearwaterglass.com/BBPIX/JBL1.jpg And Brock, examining it more closely: http://www.clearwa...

Lisa, I absolutely love the way you have your work displayed with the sliding bar of thumbnails. Very elegant. Did you have someone else construct the site for you? I did find the small, gray, text kind of hard to read, and it took me a minute to figure out how to go to trays or sculpture once I was...

If the bubbles are between the layers, than it is because you have constructed your piece in such a way that you are trapping air between the pieces. Try putting the colored design elements on top of the other two layers instead of inbetween. Make sure that your two layers of clear are 3mm, not 1.5m...

Re: Sandblast prints, stack and fire?
I have been tackfusing two prefired 24x17x1/4" panels, adding frit detail. I will stack them, add a third, and fuse all three into one 3/4" panel. The middle layer shows fingerprints on the bottom surface (oh, careless me!), which will be quite obvious over the red background behind the f...

I ordered some, and it arrived in about 24-48 hours. Shipping cost was very reasonable. They have many grit sizes

I have only done this once, but learned quite a bit in the process. First, I would recommend making a 3mm thick circle the diameter you want for your finished piece. Then, grind the pot melt into a perfect circle. Then cut one or two rims (depending on the thickness of the melt) as in Patty Gray's t...

I agree with Charlie. I've been through this myself. I think, particularly with a large piece, that a shelf with a uneven surface or uneven internal density is most likely the culprit if the bubble is between the shelf and the glass. If that is where the bubble is next time try firing in thinfire pa...

Steve, have you done anything about the flimsy fence on the MK? It's really the weakest part of the saw, and always a problem for me. It seems that one set screw is not enough to hold that long flat aluminum bar in place, and even if it does, after a bit of use, you've actually made holes in the ba...
