I just got a great deal on an infinite switch for my small kiln which cools way too fast. (Bought MYSELF a Christmas Present...) Thought this switch would be perfect, since the kiln has a built in pyrometer. Anyhow, these infinite switches are on sale, as they are closeouts. Act now if you need one!...

Thanks for all the advice. I finished the thing last night, after several hours work on it. Did it by gently grinding eges to make them more "even", and then hand sanding for a smooth edge. It is not perfect, but all is well. Thanks! I could not have done it without you all to help me! hav...

I need yet more advice. I have a friend who has a glass "dome", which was dropped and broken. Only the very bottom part broke off, leaving a slightly sharp and jagged, but still "usable" item. (these are the types of glass domes some people display flowers or other keepsakes in.....

That's what I was thinking! The metallic sharpies should be very useful for jewelry designs! Gotta get some soon!

Hey, you guys have really great ideas! Thanks for the compliment on the hair tie, as it really does "dress up" a plain ponytail. The rolled up fabric buttons sound fascinating! Can you elaborate? I am intrigued!!!!

Seems I always kiln wash stuck to the back of my jewelry pieces, and sometimes it is prety bad. I have tried CLR and Limeaway on the pieces, and they work OK. However, I left some of my pieces in a bowl of vinegar the other day, and went to work. When I came home, I rinsed and brushed the backs of t...

I think this piece is fascintaing too! Are the edges still sharp? With a bit of coldworking, this should be a gorgeous piece!

suntoys: You are SOOOOO Talented! What a beautiful piece!!!!! I only do small jewelry pieces, but would love to chat with you about your techniques and supplies. I am SURE I could learn a LOT from you, if u want to talk.... You surely will be a success with artwork like that!

I have posted a couple of photos of my finished jewelry work on the photo board. Run on over and take a peek! Thanks....

Is the channel just made with a steady hand and diamond point bit? I am unsure just how channeling is done. Anybody wanna help me?

will these buttons be used on clothing? If so, what happens when the clothing is washed? Will the adhesive survive soap and water, or should the buttons be removed with each washing? Just my practical mind at work here. I often take "shank" type buttons, and put them onto plain hair elasti...

Thank you! Posting a photo is also new to me, so I had to go with the LINK to the photo. That way, I can figure it out! Thanks for the compliments....I just LIVE to wire wrap! (AND fuse glass too....)

Hope I am posting these in the right place. I am still very new at this, so be kind.....but all critiques are welcome! LOVE Jewelry art. It is my "peaceful solace" after a hard day. I'd love to see pics of other's glass art, too! C'mon folks....Post a photo! http://www.deadzoom.com/member/...

suzmary: I personally use deadzoom, and if you only use them a little, it's free. Otherwise, it is just $5.00 each month. I use them for all my photo usage, and they are really great, IMHO. Here is their addy:

Good Luck! Can't wait to see those pics....

I posted a photo, but apparently had it in the wrong section of this bulletin board. My apologies...

Great! I can do that! Photo coming soon.....Thanks so much

OH! I CAN DO THAT! Unfortuantely, I do not have a phot of my PRETTIEST pendant, but I have one or 2 that are nice. I'll post them asap! Thanks for the advice...

Thanks for all the advice, and Amy,Thanks for the links to the bullseye charts! Theya re delightfuL! I think my stuff is being annealed though, as the chart says a 1/8 inch thick piece should be soaked at 960 degrees F. for 15 minutes, and so on. If it takes my kiln 13+ hours to cool from 1500 to a ...

Amy: As of yet, I do not have a controller. It is supposed to arrive any time now. What temperature should the glass be held at for annealing, and how long? I figured that slowly ramping my kiln down would do the trick, and even after that, it takes about 12 hours to cool to under 100 degrees. Any a...
