You may have already seen this about dichroic from A&A Products or others. There is a test strip near the bottom of the page. http://www.aaproducts.com/DICHROI-TECHNICAL-INFO.html You should expect the shift. If you want green, start with yellow. If you want light blue, start with pale green.......

Jan, just in case you have not see these, here are a couple of links to other information:

Hi Jan. I primarily make jewelry, never any ring drops. Perhaps someone else can give you first-hand knowledge. If I understand your question about the layers, you must first fire all of the layers together before doing the drop. Otherwise, each glass will drop separately. Since the drop temperature...

I found this with a search, and it seems to have some information you could use. Good luck.

Check out Lopacki Diamonds and ebay seller LAU*** Both good sellers of diamond products. Barry Daniel Lopacki no longer sells drill bits. When I contacted him last year, he recommended LAU***, and I purchased from them. Their bits are good with lots of diamond, but the wire is so long that the 1mm ...

Leila, one trick I use, recommended by a lapidarist, is to drill the first hole all the way through with a 1mm bit. Next, use a 2mm bit and drill about 60% through from the side which will be showing when the piece is finished. Then flip the piece over and drill about 60% through from the backside. ...

Alexis, perhaps this is the explanation of staining you are seeking.

The controller (Perfect Fire III) for my 20-year old Jen-Ken kiln (PFG-24-E, 240V) started giving errors when initially energized. I have replaced the elements several times in both the lid and the side, but the controller still had the original relays. The controller has two relays, and I successfu...

Several years ago I was offered the opportunity to make a presentation to my wife's garden club. It was not only fun, but I also got two Odyssey lampshade jobs as well as several windows, all for very nice ladies. I would highly recommend that you embrace the chance to present your work to an intere...

We have a local commercial hvac company which has all metal fabrication equipment as well as sheets of various metals. They have sheared sheets of theirs for me in the past. I believe you are near Knoxville, so there should be several similar companies there.

Try to connect with funeral homes and see if they are interested in providing this option to clients. They already are marketing items like urns, so a piece of jewelry might also be of interest. Of course, you will then be in "business" and need samples, schedules for delivery, and sharing...

A final quick photo of the final cabs for this batch of enamels. The cabs are just sitting on the bails while I try to decide what to finally use.

I don't see pendants in this thread. Only text. I wanna see pendants. Did I miss the class handout? I added the two photos back for you, Don. I thought the views were done, so I removed the images. I used to work for a company that paid nearly $1B in a settlement due to a comment hand-written on a ...

Hi Kevin. The background is the correct color and is not white. I compared the cabs to the picture, and, on my monitor, the colors look the same.

Thanks. The cab is 1 and 1/8 by 1 and 5/16. Here are some more that I made at the same time. All of them are the re-melting and enameling of some pins that did not sell well.

A new enameled pendant cabochon that I really like. Not sure I will ever attach a finding....

A photo of an enameled flow cuff bracelet. A gallery I sell through took the photo, and I thought it looked great.

Did a show one time at a gallery where I was already represented and pieces were selling. They asked for additional work which I did just for them and shipped at my expense. The show finished without any new pieces selling, so they then returned the new work and all of my old work. A very fulfilling...

I put a cutter cozy on each handle of the nippers, and it helped reduce the pain considerably. You can purchase the cozy at many places.

Well, I got two calls from UPS tracking yesterday asking me if I ever got my package. I told them I had not and that I was going to refuse the shipment if it ever arrived since I already had a replacement order. Then, late yesterday afternoon the missing package suddenly appeared on my porch and it ...
