Re: Kaleidoscopes
Well, sorry Brad, there really IS quite a bit to them, or at least can be. They are just like a piece of fused glass; make it as good or poorly as you wish. I'd have to agree with that. I guess what I was trying to say was that the basics are fairly simple; like anything else, they can be much more...

I'm submitting a slide of my scrap bin, a close up, and another of a pile of light bulbs, mostly dead ones, on my driveway, surrounding my van. Well, I think one of the winners last year was a bunch of beer bottles tied together with a rope, so you're on the right track. As for me, I'm working on e...

Re: basic kiln question
Hi, I'm interested in getting started in fusing and have a few really basic questions about choosing a kiln. I've tried to find the answers in the archives, but couldn't seem to, so would appreciate your help. I plan on starting with small pieces (such as jewelry) but also want a digitally controll...

Printer friendly version of threads
I've updated the software for the board to allow for printing an entire thread in a user friendly format (instead of with all the tables and other clutter). To use this, just call up the thread you want to print, then at the top of the thread you'll see a small photo of a printer (to the right of th...

C'est pas moi sac, but aren't there enamels that fire as low as 950? Don't know of any, though they could be out there. Maybe in France (or is that Quebec?). Thompson doesn't have any, FuseMaster doesn't have any, Paradise Paints don't do it, neither does the stuff from Ferro. Traditional stained g...

Do you mean softening point (1250 for Bullseye transparents, 1270 for opals), or do you mean the point at which the glass starts to deform in the heat? If you really mean softening point, than we can probably come up with some paints that mature at below 1250 (especially opaque paints). For example,...

Did you fuse the stringers to the glass, then slump, or try to do everything in one step?
