Randy, this is so cool! Thank you! I have been curious about what I've read on the board about pot melts (and the maglesses I received) but haven't had time to hunt through the archives. Now you have saved me all that time and effort with a beautifully clear explanation. You should write a book! I'm...

barbs - I hear you! I have spent nearly a month trying to get estimates from printers for a calendar our animal center is trying to put together...only one has responded without follow-up; the rest either have not gotten back to me in spite of many promises, or have needed multiple follow-ups! They ...

Stuart, tell Barb to try http://www.greenglass.com in Schofield, Wis; they make glassware from bottles and contract with recycling centers. Also http://www.ecofriendlyflooring.com, located in Madison, Wis makes recycled glass tiles.

In the studio where I used to work (including sandblasting commissions and teaching sandblasting) we used aliminum oxide as it was cheaper than silicon carbide yet recyclable. Practice practice at different pressures, distances and rate of hand movement so you will know how to achieve the effects yo...

glass floor insert
I have been contacted by a friend who is in the process of re-modeling an 1890's log farmhouse. She says "We will have an area in the floor where we will have to tear up the wood and I would love to replace it with glass that would have a light under it. This part of the house just sits on fram...

Sort of..partially. I bought a couple of nice square plates at Cost Plus and sandblasted off the glaze; drilled vent holes (had to buy 2 glass/tile drill bits because the first one from Lowe's broke). I have kiln-washed one of them but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Will try to get a test done ...

I once did a show where I wanted something a little classier than newspaper. I talked to the shopowner where I sold stuff on consignment, and she ordered two colors of tissue paper for me along with her regular order, so I got it at her bulk price. Costco is a good source for big packages of white t...

I tell my students you can always learn something new in working with glass. A year or two ago, I read somewhere that you will have more success cutting glass if you keep a fairly even amount of glass on either side of your score. So now, when I need to cut strips, I start by splitting the piece in ...
