Wow - sort of surprised to click on here and see my name where I didn't put it. My eyes got big and I thought , "Oh boy - what did I do now" Barbara is right about it being upsidedown, but it was nice of you to post it. I sure would love to see other people's work - any more pictures? I l...

Yo Jackie.... First of all... lovely work in the Legacy show. I would NEVER have guessed it was yours.... Precise, small, monochromatic.... no blatatnt trademark "Jackie" cues... the vivacious colr, dancing shapes (not just figures either), generous proportions.... Yow. It ain't easy to pu...

Thanks Barbara. The piece varies between 1/2 and 3/4 inches. The initial fusing of layers was done on a sheet of 1/8 fiber paper - minus a donut shape. The result was that (when flipped over) it had raised donut shape that covered the entire area where the ripples would be -- that allowed me to hav...

I kiln carved a "donut" on the surface -- then spent many hours freehand sandbasting the rings. It would have gone faster but the only grit I had was finer than I needed. - Paul Paul...it's truly lovely. & the leaf is beautiful. Congrats. 2 questions: how thick is it? Also, could you ...

Well, geez, they do it in the movies all the time when the bad guys want to break in through a window. Just slap a suction cup on, pull the perfect circle out. No problem. YEAH! I always :roll: about that in movies...(well, at least for the past couple years since glass became joined my family) ......

there's nothing in physics about this. once the crack occurs, there's no surface tension left. it has to do with the fact that if the cut is completely vertical, there's no bevel on an edge to trap the circle in the square, so it can fall right out. the hard part is getting a vertical cut. Huh? no ...

A few questions-How large a diameter circle, and how does she run the score. When you say she pops them out, just how does this happen? Can she do this with all glass types, ie Spectrum, BE, float,etc., and all thicknesses?I have cut alot of circles and would love to learn something new. Hi Tony......

i learned to cut circles from Patty Gray's tutorial at her website. sometimes they pop out without a release score, but mostly they don't. i was amazed the first time one came out whole ... i didn't think it was possible. it's all BE glass, btw, but soon it'll be float. gotta whole case here that i...

Barbara You can start a line of bracelets and necklaces for hard core punkers. Just make sure that your liability insurance is intact. Be sure not to work the edges at all. Never sell them to any body who is depressed or suicidal. Brilliant marketing concept, Bert... I'm starting a list of dozens o...

One of my studio-mates, Mimi Tarro, cuts & pops circles without cutting a release score. They are clean perfect circles. We've hung one of the leftover glass donuts (ie the unscathed leftover ) on an honorable nail for all to behold. She does this as a matter of course & credits Janet (B.E. ...

One of my "Blue Cosmos" bowls is displayed in Portland's "Street of Dreams" house showcase. Thursday's newspaper Houses & Gardens of the Northwest pullout section of the Oregonian features the house, "Ambience," which has my Cos on display. If you get the paper, it'...

Currently I am stuck on cleaning the glass Wash n Go it is not I am using a dish washer Hi Brian... the others seem to know exactly what you're asking, but retardo here don't get it... Are you asking about a) cleaning glass prior to kilnforming? b) after it's finished? c) General cleaning of generi...

Hi guys... (Sorry about the cross-posting, but I'm not sure how else to be certain the post'll be seen by everyone....) I'll be in Dayton Ohio from July 11 - 21.

Hi guys... I'll be in Dayton Ohio from July 11 - 21. I'll be visiting family, which can be all-encompassing, but want to find time to visit or talk with some of you guys in the Dayton/Cincinnati area.... Any takers?
