Happy New Year gang o' glass ! I had a friend visit who I showed how to do a plate in my studio. I let her choose the glass and do her own design. First time I had showed anyone what I have been doing with my free time:) After firing and slumping it looked pretty cool, however she asked me a questio...

That was GREAT

What a relief to the babble of some of the *$@^ I was thinking of using

I enjoyed that

First attempt..... didn't work :) I had some craft gold leaf that I found laying around from other art that I have done over the years, so I thought I would give it a try. Not good to run tests at this point...way too much Holiday stuff to get finished. Thanks for all your help and support. You all ...

Hi gang of glass

I've been checking out the archives for an answer to a proceedure for fusing with gold leaf.
Do you need to cap it before you fire? Is there a firing proceedure that you can recommend?

Thanks

Me Kim

I own a paint your own pottery studio (2000 degrees) I use the ceramics for my molds after I drill holes in them I wipe them with warm water (not soaking wet) and dry them with a blow dryer, lightly sand them, wipe them again and dry. The kiln wash is applied with a regular foam brush and dryed with...

I really like it *)

Not as colorful as I have seen before, but I like it....the red looks cool

Maybe a sturdier base would make it look as if it wouldn't fall over

Good job
Me Kim

Chip is right ....buy as big as you can ( and afford) You'll be glad you did and you will use the space easily. I wish I knew about this board for advice when I bought my kiln (Paragon Fusion 7) I wish I bought a bigger one already..... The biggest piece I can do is MAX 12in. Good luck with your sea...

Hi Karen in Chile I'm a new fuser too :) Susan is absolutely right I would like to second the purchase of Brad's book :) It is worth every cent. I also think this board has been a great resource for the beginner- to- expert. The people on the board are kind and very helpful Have fun fusing Me Kim I ...

Hi I've fused a large cake plate (12 in. round) The design is done around the edges. It looks okay But it doesn't POP :) I would like to know if I could fuse another smaller circle in the middle to add more color and definition before I slump it into shape. I've worked hard on it and I'm affraid of ...

Thanks for the help

Yep ! I'm a rookie But man.... am I hooked on warm glass

I'm thinking I need a bigger kiln already and my husband is shaking head

I'm wondering if will have a problem (after cutting and putting it altogether) My project is a 12 in. cake plate 2 pcs single rolled Bullseye coe90 with leafy features along the edge. I plan to place plates on top of 2 - 1/8 rings of fiber board, making a 2 in. rim around. My question is (after some...

SPACE is KEY.... I have almost the whole back of a 2 car garage with lots of storage space under a metal top counter :) Rubber mats under foot for comfort and some warmth. Natural lighing and added Halogens (more warmth) Overhead heaters ! It snowed here last night :0) Lots of glass too !!!! Now if ...

Brad

[quote="Tony Smith"]Hi Jeri, I had the 40" Covington from Kingsley North, but the water feed was really funky. I ended up selling it and getting the floor standing unit from CRLaurence. As for the clear scrap, clean the glass, break it into small pieces, make a dam and pile the glass ...

Thanks Jim

I'll try it tonight.

Hi gang of glass I fused a 3.5 inch circle to fit a small mold for dipping sauces. I want to slump it next. Should I fire a clear cover over it first ? I've used Bullseye double rolled as the base with iridized stripes as the design. I usually slump at 1250 with a 10 min. hold cooling with another h...

Great cutting :) I can't wait to see your final project and what your going to do with it

Me Kim

I figured it out

thanks for your help

Hi gang of glass :) I slumped in a bullseye ceramic mold that I had bought at a show. I put a few coats of kiln wash over it and then the glass (bullseye- double rolled opalescent- with some stringers) set the kiln at 1250 on speed 3 with a 5 min hold. It got all miss shapened :( the edges are sharp...
