OHHHHH how SPECIAL. I miss Hugh here and well, here he is. The sculpture is totally amazing. The Scale is impressive . The workmanship is impressive. No breaking of the mold and hardly ANY clean up. :-k Oh how I wish I lived in Portland area. I would be a helper for Hugh anytime. Leslie (and yes, th...

Oh what a surprise and joy to see this posting. My dream has ALWAYS been to be wondering around SOFA completely awake and jazzed and fully aware of how lucky we are to enjoy the visual stimulation that surrounds you. The senses are firing on FULL throttle , and you must take time to see the whole sh...

I still think it would be a super idea to take some of the offending glass, put on 1101 30 bullseye, fire with your schedule , and then check under polorized film. You will get your answer. P.S. try upside down on fiber toooo just how you also created the piece.

No dear Havi, I thought it was a crackle piece also , but not sure. Les

I think someone else had this problem a while back. Does anyone remember that. Les

Here is what I should have read before I created my pattern bars. For flameworking not kiln forming. My fault.

Well sometimes things just are not supposed to be used and now I had to spend hours cutting out the Dense White Rods out of lovely colour bar slices. Many Many of them. BUT hey!!! now I have the most wonderful Pods that will hang from pieces that I will intermingle with my twin sisters flameworking ...

Oh dear, could you zero in on a section with a photo so we can see the tiny difficult sections. So sad.
(Ps.) how many times did you fire it. What was the kiln shelf. Hmmm! Les

I wish more people would post their wonderful inspirations. I love the colour and the flow of this piece. We can all learn and enjoy the discussion when others share, so thankyou. Les

A wonderful peaceful scene . Perfect name as well. Les

I have forged out of steel large trees on a stand and the piece sits in between 5 hammered lovely metal trees. It is 30 inchs tall by 18 inchs wide by 1 inch thick. Les
I will get a pic in the stand by Thursday I hope.

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee40/twin_vision_glass/phpGBsrqKPM.jpg Not always easy to make repairs and have lines not show but adding gold and other colour bar pieces to the bottom while firing the sections together works well. So the back side is slightly different from the front. Les http:...

Are you going to BECON. I am truly hoping to make it tooo! Hopefully we can meet . We have our own GAAC conference here in Calgary , Alberta, Canada and I am trying to plan now to do both. (and perhaps if lucky a residency tooo! Dreams do come true if you work at them .) Les

Well when sad things happen and a gallery accidently has an accident and a piece is now in two pieces, good things can come out of it believe it or not. So now I am happier with the piece back together. The third pic is when it was in bits. phpGBsrqKPM.jpg phprjwqBIPM.jpg phpSCZZeePM.jpg P.S. Kevin ...

Oh Havi, that means alot. Stay safe!! good friend. Les

Very lovely and beautiful. I might suggest a softer and smaller flying wonder!!!!!! The landscapes are so special all by themselves . BUT I am sure you will get incredible feed back at the show. Listen to all and take the constructive discussion, tuck it away and work on it for your next show tooooo...

There is a beautiful Osprey Nest just up the street from us that the Eagles and Osprey fight over BUT it is so beautiful and amazingly built. Thankyou for your kind words. This whole piece is made out of colour bar reactive slices.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!! I do not know what temp you went to to melt EVERYTHING like that.

I believe that the higher RPM will turn faster and with the right blade you can saw quickly through 4 inch glass.

I have added my blown glass eggs (from my colour bar slices) to a large birds nest sitting on a metal branch nest . It is about 24 inchs in wide and looks nice in the light. The reactive glass really plays with the light.
