Re: Square/Squareup Credit Card processing

Terry, You can use the knuckle buster to get the credit card imprint and then go home and manually enter the CC # into your square account. I would never do a show and require check or cash. Most people don't carry much of either. Barry I just got this off the square site:"The Square Card Read...

Re: Square/Squareup Credit Card processing

I make a lot of torched freeform elements for my portraits - sometimes they get very 3-D. So when things are just too tangled I take my elements and slump them flat - usually on a kiln shelf under :wink: my firing shelf - this way I don't take a separate firing just for these elements. -Terry O.

Re: PMC for glass fusing jewelry

Does the silver fuming wreck the kiln or do something that makes it not workable for glass? Thanks! Terry O. Minus's It tarnishes very quickly Big Minus for me - I was informed that you should have a dedicated kiln for PMC. Something about silver fuming. I never had any problems with it but others o...

Thanks!

this example will not answer your question but it might give other ideas. For my daughter preschool (age 3 - 4) I brought some of my portraits for them to see. I chickened out of working with glass at this age. But instead of working with glass I made pipe cleaner shapes and let them pick out the sh...

when you put them back - try not to use the same holes. Also put them at an angle which leaves the curved part of the "u" laying at an angle resting against the groove edge. Hard to explain... :? Also be sure all your power is off - unplug !! so that you don't get shocked touching the elem...

looks good for a first try. Another idea is to use a subject that can be more design compatible with "fuzzy" edges. Something like an unerwater scene, something abstract - add some lampwork. In some of my design discussion with the glass I try to let it talk to me rather than "command...

depending on exactly the floor needs to be you can have a concrete floor with glass inserts imbedded into the conc. Many sidewalks that are actually over commercial basements in Chinatown (San Francisco) have this feature.
