Well, that's quite ambitious, I must say. Usually, it's difficult to bond such large pieces effectively. Can be done, I "think", with some sheer determination and patience. If there was any way to conceal the "dots" of glue in inconspicuous places, I would suggest that. When I ad...

You didn't say if there was more than one layer, and the thickness of it or each. also, are you fusing or slumping. Need a little more info. - Barbara

Well, in my field, "contemporary" usually means clean lines, crisp design, sleek, new...if you get my drift. Glass, in itself, is usually considered "contemporary", especially when used in unusual circumstances. When I first started making glass tile, few had ever heard of such a...

Overkill. Fire on a textured surface or sandblast, if you are concerned.

Well, I guess I should mention that, since we started as as stained glass retail shop/studio in 1983 in Greensboro, we still sell supplies. Of course, fusing supplies are also readily available----and I LOVE the company of fellow fusers. So, if you're in the Greensboro area, let me know. - Barbara

Excellent site, Cynthia. Fabulous opening page. I just wanted to dive into your glass. The photos themselves show great creativity and just the right amount of "tease". Whoever designed it did a great job! - Barbara

Wow! I really like that, Gale. Maybe you'll give us a few insights as to technique. Regardless, it's a great piece. - Barbara

Yes, it is cast glass with a brushed brass brush finish.

How did you achieve that finish? It's wonderful! - Barbara

I remember a long thread about this that should be in the archives. Good luck. - Barbara

IV drip system can be adjusted to give you the speed of water delivery you need. Dang...been using one of those things on the cat for 2 weeks. Cat didn't make it, so I threw the IV unit away. Could have been a very expensive investment that went into the garbage. Anyway, I found the turn-type nozzl...

Keiko, on the practical side, make sure your plates can stand the high dishwasher temps required by restaurants to sanitize their ware. - Barbara

Barbara, I found it stuck to the glass more (maybe not enough alumina?) Anyway, not the best for glass, but will work. - Barbara C

Make sure you have your sound on. Great site. - Barbara

I have a policy that any shipment to my dealer's customer is prepaid by the dealer, including freight and handling. I got stuck once for $2000, because I didn't get the money up front. Never, never again....Barbara

Well, you're not the only one, Geri. ONE DAY...I'm going to put faces to the names. In the meantime, it's fun to imagine...Chained-to-the-Business-Girl

You might want to serach the archives. There is a plethora of information on micas. Basically, for an even coating, you need to airbrush them and the medium of choice is Klyr Fire. Apply multiple thin coats and fire to about 1380. Avery Avery, I looked in the archives, but didn't really find my ans...

Just to throw my 1 1/2 cents in (do you know this keyboard doesn't have a "cents" symbol? Grief!) Anyway...I have used Quickbooks for several years, and am presently on QB2002Pro. After profusely cursing the program the first few years, I have made it work for me. For instance, I created s...

I have to agree that incentives are not needed when the job is in the bag. That appears to come from lack of self-esteem, or whatever. Several years back (and the economy was toilet-bound), I got a job at $1500. When I did it, it didn't take me as long as I thought, so (since the $1500 was an "...

My preference for an etching cream is Velvet Etch, which I purchased through Ed Hoy. Smoother, cleaner and less messy than Armor Etch. I am really not sure if they still carry it, but it was fantastic...and cheaper than Armor Etch. My input. - Barbara C
