I toooo feel it was too quick and I never go faster than 100 deg. per hour unless tiny pieces. I even go 50 deg. per hour with thick work. Les

Thankyou so much Oritt, how is your glass going these days. Les

O.K. now I am happy, we just changed the belt on my saw as it was taking so very long through a cut AND WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am saving hours. I also have 4 new blades coming that I am testing and will keep you all informed on which is my favorite.

Since the winter is apon us I am inspired to create some new snow mountain scenes. Here are the slices that will be incorporated into the glass panels

Hi! the only parts of the slices that I grind are the parts that have touched the mold or kiln shelf. UNLESS you have used fiber then make sure you grind off all the particles that could make for a scummy join. the glass will not flow as nicely if you have particles exposed. I tooo think the pieces ...

:oops: Risa and Bob, not only was I exhausted after the residency with border guards and other things making my trip to the U.S. difficult, but at the end it was ALL worth every red and tired face I earned. The owners and the staff go over backwards to make your stay in their studio an"A" ...

Not sure if this will help out or not. But pile up sections on the kiln shelf and above and you will get some truly marvelous things happening.

Some of my mesh melts are lower and longer. So I will go up: - 100 degrees F. per hour to 1220 - Hold 2 hours - 150 degrees F. to 1480 F. ( if I have dense white in the piece then I will keep it at 1480 for only 15 minutes depending oh the holes) BUT I also have alot of mass and depth to the melts I...

It is called " AUTUMN"S FIRST SNOW FALL " and the sky is a bit dramatic but not so much that it takes away from the piece. So thankyou Rosanna, that means alot.

Dear Havi, I am not sure it is wise to take the glass to such high temps. Perhaps contact Bullseye and ask if something else is actually happening to the glass at that temp and changing some coefficients . Just a thought friend. Leslie (can you not achieve the same thing at a lower/ longer temp sche...

Thankyou so kindly . I love creating with colour bars as you do get a much more painterly approach, and I am so glad you noticed.
Les

I was experimenting with a softer sky and I like it . It is not so busy!

Yes, at the end of October. Have some wonderful artists in the class and can hardly waite to share with them. My only worry is the noise from the sawing process so I might have to moon light to saw up the bars. :-k . The class is at PASSION FOR GLASS and I look forward to it very much. Leslie (p.s. ...

:cry: :-k [-o< Oh if anyone has the patience , you do Rick. Perhaps something completely new will come out of all the new experiments! :D I look soooo forward to seeing your new studio . I myself am waiting patiently for 4 new blades to experiment with to somehow speed up the sawing process AND am p...

Hmmm! not sure why.

I love to see artists take risks and try new directions with their work. You will never know where it takes you and the swim down the river is truly a new adventure. Hmmm! dinner for someone perhaps. Yum! Leslie

I think if you had a ceramic kiln shelf that you could saw and use as supports for your wire mesh you would not have had it bend. :cry: Sad when that happens. The design will be alot more swirling when the drop is so far as well. Also do you need to go that hot. I love to go lower longer, taking lon...

http://issuu.com/pilchuckglassschool/docs/pilchuck_catalog__12/81#print I think this is the correct link to my page tooo. Well done Dolores! beautiful piece as always. You cannot see the beads on my donation but my twin and I had alot of fun creating this piece out of Uroboros Glass at our residency...

I also love the edge and not the constraints of a border.
