i hope she doesn't mind me posting the link, but i think j.savina has a great studio set up. it's more tailored for stained glass work, but i think the organization, storage space, workstations and lighting are great. here's a link to the gallery page: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&...

lol i'm not quite sure where it got started i was making pins...i'm doing mainly necklaces, a few bracelets, maybe some earrings....but now that it's been mentioned pins aren't a bad idea and your suggestion had been duly noted. i liked the keychain idea too.... thanks for all the brainstorming from...

interesting..see this is event is a demographic i have absolutely no perspective on, other than the fact we're female [from what i've been told, the event is mainly attended by women who are 40-50ish, upper middle class, and (most) have had breast cancer.] so i'm kinda planning in the dark here. i'm...

Lauren, why not go with the opals? bullheaded, i guess ;) no, i have this whole vision in my head...i wanna make a couple designs, and i want to incorporate the ribbon symbol in most of em. i'm already doing it with the aforementioned pink dichro, going to etch the ribbon...using opal on a couple t...

thanks for all the suggestions! i just called the BE resource center, they apparently don't have anything left from that exhibition. the woman i spoke with said erbium pink sounds like it'd be my best bet...she said it was very pale, but maybe if i used a couple layers of it? alecia, can i ask what ...

i've been asked to make some pieces of jewelry for key speakers at a breast cancer conference. along with everything else, the jewelry needs to be pink. i, of the very un-pinkishness, have no idea what sort of pinks are available from any of the manufacturers, and since the conference is the 20th i ...

O! that there's what happens when i assume. *EDIT* but geri beat me to it and in the interest of saving scrolling space i deleted my copy of it */EDIT* my version says: *yes, i made it *no, it's not plastic (it's glass) *no, i don't blow glass (and i can't make you a pipe) *all necklaces come with a...

hay geri! que pasa? have you tried out tony's sign? how's the response been? i made my own version of the sign that i framed and have propped on my table. most people, but not all, notice it...those people who don't still ask the dumb questions, but those who do either laugh and go back looking at m...

'did that hurt?' no...it tickled. of course it &$#*@&( hurt!!!!!! (re: my tattoos and plugs) at LEAST once a day. people sometimes stop me in the street to ask me that. and it's not like a conversation develops from there, that's all they want to know. that water and electricity comment tho ...

o, glad to hear more good things about jewelry designer...i REALLY wish they had a trial version so i wouldn't have to shell out the money before seeing how it goes...i've heard myob and jewelry desiger together can take care of anything and everything needed. one day...one day.

But since your the all powerful one here on your business section :roll: maybe she raised up her big stick a li'l too early, but i'm glad she said something. making geri out to be a board nazi is nonsense, and seeming to assume that she just lurks here waiting for an opportunity to jump in and thro...

::ahem:: from the craftsreport archive, by pete: "Try MYOB. It is less expenseive than QB, it has built in "assembly" routines where you can create Bills of Materials and then say I want to produce 6 of a whatever and it will reduce the stock on the compnoents and give you 6 finished ...

yeah i gotta agree, your studio setup is amazing...i'm very jealous. (and also wish i had even a snowballs chance in hell of ever being that organized...i'd bet a dollar your studio after show preparation is still cleaner than mine on a GOOD day) i like your work too...i was going to comment how muc...

credit card authorizations (should) expire within 48 hours...so monday to wednesday could still just be that grace period. we use authorizations at the restaurant i work at when an outside party wants to prepay a meal...but the customer always specifies the exact $ amount they want authorized, we ch...

try a search for rattail (that's what the 'satin string' is called) i think i got mine for like $30 a spool. it was a while ago too so i might be very wrong about that. there's always leather cord, but that gets pricey...lately i've been using rubber cord, 3 yards for a dollar, good stuff. that cord...

i just picked up a new printer, the hp psc 2110. it's a printer/scanner/copier combo. (i don't need a fax, but if you do it's the 2210 i think that has the fax capabilities) this thing is GREAT. it's fast, quiet, the 'normal' print setting is as good as my old printer's 'best', the scanner takes gre...

lol...that was clever

maybe it was more, i didn't really measure it and it's not there now for me to go back and check, i was just kinda eyeballin it from memory.

i'll go contact the co that i got it from, see what they can do.

thanks all

peace

well, the thing broke i had just installed it this morning, from the first time i used the new blade it was doing the sparking... when i tried cutting, it would only cut veryyy slowly, even tho it was only 3 layers of be thin i was cutting. i'd stop because of the sparking.. the blade had about a 1/...

has anybody ever used this blade? i just replaced my old blade with it, was very excited...but now can't seem to use it. everytime i try and cut there's major sparking and a burning smell, almost as if it's cutting dry...but it's not. there's the regular water feed from the saw, then i set it up so ...
