It actually does not look as deep as it really is!!!! AND I will take another picture in a week when it is done.

Thank you for your comments and critique Havi, as I always respect your honest opinion and help. I just slumped it ( 50 Deg. per hour up to 1230 F. AND should have stopped at 1225 as it was soooooooo perfect BUT then caught on one side BUT again, I think I am going to love the unevenness of how it w...

Fabulous and wonderful

phpeJ7WbFAM.jpg phpbja0NPAM.jpg Although it may not be a pretty mold to some , it had to be structurally strong to handle the heavy wait from the 24" inch glass panel. So it is ready to go and now to dry it out in the skutt kiln to 1500 deg. just to cure the mold and make it strong enough to l...

php5wMuEXAM.jpg php0ysM95AM.jpg phpMSgRGIPM.jpg New 24inch vessel flat fired. Now to prime the deep mold out of MM6 and try a one firing slump. Hmm! The cane that I created with reactive glass (in an old MM6 mold I cut a 2 inchs square out of) for a drop in the large skutt kiln has slices into this...

Thank you so kindly Warren, The lovely larger mold is from " BLUE FIRE MOLDS " one of the sponsors here. It is only 22" inchs wide though so I have a larger ring on lay on top of it to slump bigger pieces. I also make the birds nests in it with fiber so I can put a 20 inch square on i...

Here is a better photo with the other first slump molds by it and the ring that will hold the glass on the flat fire.

I thought I would create a really large deep slump mold for a large vessel form I am working on. I could find some nice large slumping molds out of ceramic but not this deep so thought I would make a mold mix 6 one. Creating it over metal is perhaps alittle tricky as the MM6 wants to shrink while dr...

Just bought some more wonderful reactive colours so off I go!!! Hugs Sue

I hope when the piece is slumped it will show the underside as it is really interesting . It is flowing nicely into the name of the Series " Glacial Striations"

The flat firing was nice, now to slump .

Thanks so much Vonon. The pictures are poor but I only have an old camera that is not a good one , BUT at least you can get the idea of how it was inspired . Les

Husbands are so wonderful when they retire and get excited tromping through the Gypsum mine to collect beautiful BLACK ALABASTER . It is a lovely stone to carve and polish and saw and is a rare form of the gypsum-based mineral. It has wonderful light , medium and dark grey veining just like I am try...

Well patience is a friend today . I am happy with the very different look from inside to outside and the reactions are strong. BUT I love the gold and silver side. phpeRrCESPM.jpg phpghzypsPM.jpg php10gHu6PM.jpg I am going up into the mountains tomorrow to find a beautiful stone in our quarry called...

phpdRKfZaAM.jpg phpSUlN7LAM.jpg First slump is good , now second deeper slump is set up and will go on tomorrow . The large flat panel will be finished soon and ready for flat firing. Hope I will be able to slump it though as it is alittle large for my kiln , and pray to slump in friends kiln. That...

phpP9GlWoPM.jpg phpKeRgAPPM (1).jpg (the fusing process went nicely , now it is in the kiln on the first slump before the next 2 deep slumps. ) I have found a BEAUTIFUL piece of Maple and have cut into 3 pieces and am using them for the bases. It is so lovely and soft and a nice match for the vesse...

phpPdKcTtPM.jpg phpUjzVLjPM.jpg While the other piece for the deep slump is firing , I have started another larger piece that will just have a nice soft slump into my mold I made. Will take awhile to finish this one though but no worries, I am patient. Les **All the slices are from the same colour ...
