I . . . because there is no art without business. I totally disagree with this. If I were locked away forever in a tower someplace with a kiln, glass, etc. and knowing that I would never get out of there and nobody would ever see my work except me, and no chance of anyone ever buying it, ever - I'd...

This is an interesting thread, really. I have taken glass tiles before, drilled little holes along the top and bottom edges and attached them by looping wire through the holes, making a "curtian" looking thing. Is that sewing? Its nothing like what you do Susan, but in my opinion, it is se...

Instead of using a drop mold, which will force you to make such a thick shade, why not try one of the Ball surface molds from Bullseye. From what you save in using 5 or 6 less layers of glass, you'll easily pay for the mold, it will be less top heavy, you won't have to worry about cutting off the ri...

Mornin' Jackie, Since you and I ain't in the same time zone this month watcha doin' up so early yo'self? I personally love to watch the sunrise. Morning Sara, I used to love to watch the sunrise too - except it was without having gone to bed yet. But that was before I had a family. Now I get up this...

Barb, How long will this exhibit be showing at Legacy . . . and where is it located in Portland? Am hoping to get up there at the end of this month for a few days :wink: As for those 'couldn't care less' husbands . . . ouch, kiln form those boys into shape. Sara Hi Sara, I'm not Barb, but she's not...

Jackie, Do you have your V-wheel on a fixed arbor (a glass lathe) or are you using it on a portable grinder? Tony (who also appreciated your pillow boxes) It's portable Tony - in fact, it's itty-bity portable. It works ok for my application though. And besides, I have no room for one of those huge f...

Catharine, I am just amazed. I actually gasped several times flipping from piece to piece. Your work is so touching and moving - all of them - each and every one; but I have to say my favorites are 1. Miss Emma 2. Waiting 5 (hauntingly beautiful - gave me goose bumps) and 3. Man Under A Hat. Bravo L...

Way to go Catharine!!! Well deserved - that's an amazing piece - good for you!

Barbara,

Thanks for posting these pictures! Yippee. I had so much fun filpping through - great to see both the art and people shots - thanks again!!

Jackie, That sounds exactly like the question Ron would ask. I am reminded of the Xmas mornings when the kids were very young. After opening their gifts they spent more time playing with the boxes than with the toys. Could've saved a lot of money by buying just empty toy boxes. haha That's a clever...

Jackie, Congratulations on creating another beautiful work, individually and as an assembly. You get better and better with each venture. An easy question: How is the individual piece mounted to its standoff? Jim Thanks Jim - I've had lots of emails about the hardware - reminds me of the time I spe...

Jackie, Just beautiful. It is so fun to see how your work is evolving. These are divine individually and as an assemblage. Can you tell me what you mean by wheel carved? I can't see the different textures on my ordinator...I would love to touch them. I bet they're deliscious. Well Cynthia, maybe I ...

Jackie, I am drooling! That is such a beautiful composition. And i love the title. How apropos. I have often thought of Joseph's coat when looking at your work. Congratulations. barbara Thanks Barbara. It's really funny how titles come about, isn't it? I was looking at it, thinking I wish I had a l...

Wow, Jackie! What a gorgeous grouping. Wish I could see them in person to see all of the individual textures and finishes, I love the look of the wheel carving. Is the black around each square a frame or glass? Lisa Hi Lisa - The black around each square is glass. The wheel carving is fun, but you ...

Stunning work Jackie! Your presentation, colors, detail, etc. is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your photos. I'm sure those were someone else's arms doing the hardware, lol. Patty Did I forget to wax my arms again? Darn! No, actually Patty, I can't be trusted with any sort of measuring devise . . .

Some new pictures to flip through . . .

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 lo...

Jackie, I would think that with all of the 110°+ temperatures that you've had recently, that coldworking (and any other playing with water) would be a welcome activity... Tony Well, that was true last week Tony, when it was 118 on my patio. Today however, we're back down to 107 - practically a chi...

- (only if I can hire you, Phil, to do all my coldworking)

Jackie, while you may be having a pity party, I am celebrating the fact that you sent in that piece. I very much liked seeing the distillation of your dance of shapes and colors. When I looked at it up close I saw what I had not seen in the images online, that not only had you removed the color, bu...
