Re: Poinsettia Mold With Bubbles

That is a wonderful PDF on the mold set up. Well done. AND if you are worried about bubbles, try sprinkling clear frit evenly over the layed down colour frit. You will get NO bubbles that way. Les

Can hardly wait to begin firing pieces from this colour bar. Am pulling another cane with the same colours in it and a vitrograph so it will be a lot of fun creating . Lots of slices to choose from .

Re: Blowing OUT large Colour bar sections

php1jcdAkAM.jpg php6l1ItBAM.jpg phpPggiizAM.jpg I was nervous as the power went out last night twice so here I sit at 4:00 AM in the morning . Luckily the vitrograph large 21 1/2" inch piece made it through the firing before the power cut off but the other kiln was perhaps not as lucky. We sha...

Re: Blowing OUT large Colour bar sections

php2wqWGhPM.jpg php03DJQgPM (1).jpg phpvZEtQePM.jpg Always fun to design a piece that will use the vitorgraph pieces in a new way. This will be really fun to see how it turns out BUT will have to make a special mold to slump it as it is a little to big for my other molds I have made. Hope the power...

Broke my little finger on my cutting hand cutting the cane BUT it was worth it! Soft and delicate canes to play with.

Once you pick up the colour bar on the blow pipe from the pick up kiln , then you blow it out. You first pick up a bullseye chunk of clear on the blow pipe so all glass is compatible.

Re: Blowing OUT large Colour bar sections

Hi Tony! yes. On my face book page. I will try to post that for you. AND Marty! yes I did cover the large piece in clear. Cast it with 1/2 inch clear all the way around it. BUT the furnace glass is just so nice and the blowers like to gather much better so they feel more comfortable about how thick ...

A little harder blowing out Bullseye mind you as you cannot use ...
