Good job.
congrats,


Havi

Thanks, Marty!

ALL the cacks were in the lavender area - BE 1842..................., no yellow, red or orange.

I still do can not figure out what caused them.
However, I refired the piece and it looks OK, no cracks or anything.

Thanks, Lynn and Brad I tried again. The photo WAS 600 kb, NOW, at 50 kb - the board still refuses to accept it. I get "the extension is too big". I know how to post a photo, I posted on the WGBB, therefore I am more confused that it does not work now. I just gave it another try to no avai...

I am trying to send on my pm a photo which is less than 150 kb, and the computer refuses to post it.
Can you tell why?
It says its too big, but I resized it!


Thanks,
Havi

Dear guys, Sorry for nagging so much about my melts. On the one hand they excite me, very much, OTOH - there are 'growing up ' problems. :oops: I noticed , that there was a lot of black debris in the kiln after the would be ' piece' was done . I liked it a lot, but I was wondering where did all this...

Thanks, Joe for your response, and thanks for your comments Yes, by now I have written down so many ideas concerning how I want to continue, and what I want to experiment with. First and foremost is, to make a piece with a background. The question is what background? again more than one option that ...

Thanks, Les,
I appreciate...............




Havi

Thanks for 'passing by' and thanks for your responses, La Suisse and Lelslie I will not do anything to this piece. I think that whatever I do here will only ruin the piece. We have a saying in Hebrew "He who adds - deletes" [something like 'more is less' ....... and this is my feeling with...

And MUCH MORE
I assume Joseph Albers would have been very happy having inspired you so..........
The results are just beautiful!

Congrats.
Good for you!



Havi

Thanks, guys
I appreciate your looking and your feedback.

Dear everybody, After I have been asking zillion questions, and nagging on how and why, here is my first melt - relatively OK [IMHO] I would love to hear - read your comments. As it is - I do not consider it as a 'piece', but as an option for a central image in a bigger piece. This is generally my i...

Very nice, Sharol, as allways....


good for you,

Havi

Very beautiful piece , Les.

I especially like the color distribution on it!! Very well done, IMHO


Havi

Oh yes,
I wish you had endless problems like that!


Havi

Congrats on your new acquisition.! Hope it will be useful and help you make beautiful staff. I removed my big back plate, and installed a smaller one, which came with the WBS. This way when I want a back plate I have one, but I also work without it [upper than the back plate, about 4" tall] Havi

Thanks, Cynthia, you made my day. And a BIG thank you Les, I love the way you make your colorbars, and the way you use them in your pieces. However it is not my intention. At this time I prefer doing mesh melts and glass boiling. Perhaps at a later stage I'll have the patience to make color bars the...

I don't like using thinfire under hot, moving glass. By the time the glass is flowing the thinfire has burned out and softened and can get pushed around. Occasionally it's gotten trapped in the moving glass.[/quote] So what do you use, Cynthia? 3 m'm fiber paper ? OR ? I am thinking of using maybe f...

Les, This is a legitimate question. I do not have enough experience with this. Some mesh melt'ers go only as high as 871 Centigrade, which is 1599 F. [which is lower than what I did] Is there any temprature that you would suggest, Les? I consider trying it, but have not yet tried. Needs to be checkd...

Interesting..................... So, how would I treat the [would be] bottom of the piece? Thin fire under the glass, AND underneath it fiber paper 1/8" ??? In any case it will not be the primed shelf but something more reliable than that I do not think ANYBODY here ever tried to work with such...

Many thanks for your illuminating remarks. I accept them, almost completely. This indicates to me - that it is right what they say that one should kilwash million times EVERYTHING that touches the glass at this temp. of 1700. That, I did not do. I used dams that were previously kilnfwashed.... and n...
