Randy Mad Scientist, excellent looking results! Kitty.

thanks barbara! as i recall, it was an offer for a fully equipped studio sharing situation. so glad you could remember who it was. kitty.

shortly before this Board changed formats, i think i remember seeing shared studio space in Portland being advertised. the location was in a desirable part of portland, within walking distance of BE, etc. perhaps Brad can access the Classified Ads before the format change. those people might still b...

boy, randy, i like the looks of that big disk. very handsome. makes me want to try one myself. kitty.

the state of colorado very likely has an office for an Insurance Commissioner, or some such branch of state government. find out about it, and ask them what colorado's law says about denial of insurance. they might also be able to name some companies that underwrite businesses like yours. another le...

business insurance is a good thing, about $500 a year for $1million coverage, which means if somebody knocks over a display and your bowl cuts another person, or your tent blows down and hurts somebody, you're covered. you might be able to get a rider on the policy for shipping art works. it's a bus...

i wonder if it would be possible to test your electric bill for a month without the annealer. do you think there could be another culprit in your house, like a refrigerator that is gobbling energy because it's old, or maybe some kind of a heater? you could test how much that annealer uses by looking...

i'm paying 22 cents per kilowatt hour, and the first month i had my big kiln, i fired many, many times, i think nearly daily, and my bill was $150. to achieve this, i never turned on the AC, cut back on use of appliances somewhat, and generally behaved myself with electricity. i had no idea what the...

To J Campbell in California -- Depending on what kind of work you produce, go to a few trade shows and juried shows, big ones. I don't mean as a participant, i mean to attend for purposes of evaluation. Look at the individual booths of the artists, and see how they present their work. Pick up their ...

the $300 for 1000 postcards and the photography sounds pretty good. a lot of people also use Modern Postcard http://www.modernpostcard.com which is a similar service, cheaper, but i think you have to provide them with the image. Modern Postcard's postcards are gang-printed, so they adjust the color ...

sorry, didn't see there was Page 2 of pictures. Celtic Knot is extremely attractive. wish i could see it in person! i'm just at the beginning of using mica, and it's interesting to see what others are doing. Kitty.

EARTH GOD must be the new one, eh? i don't see Celtic Knot there, but i hadn't seen Earth God before. I really like the Zuni plates. Kitty.

chuck, the link "not available." kitty.

yes, and astonishing prices for those units, as well, plus duty, customs fees and insurance. kitty.

The down-side is aptly described by Kevin and others. I have 3 reps: one in Hawaii, where i live, one in Northern California, and a new one in Palm Springs. I'm in the dichroic jewelry production business, and these 3 reps do an excellent job for me. I live in a remote place, and don't travel around...

Before we changed boards, i posted a note asking for some thoughts about how to repair the gritty surface of a blank i made using dichroic frit on top, which left a horrible surface texture. I ground off the worst of the sharp points, covered the others with various sizes of BE thin clean, put an ov...
