I've searched but am unable to find any information on using silver foil on the top layer of glass. Is it food safe or should I be sandwiching it in between two sheets. Thanks for any help.

I like it, Bert, and everyone looks so much younger than I expected:)

I like them.

This is so meticulous - amazing. Love it.

Thanks Valerie and Dick I'm pretty sure I used too much of the spray. I'll have to find someone that can sandblast for me. I hated it so much I gave my son my air compressor.

Enjoy your holiday. Patty

Ok - so I just bought a new kiln and I'm still learning the ins and outs. I also bought a new texture mold, the 12" Tree of Life. I sprayed it with MR97. I prefused the 1st one with silver iridized and black with a full fuse - the irid side down on the black, then put it on the mold and fused u...

Beautiful as always. You inspire us all, and I thank you for your many posts. I can't imagine the amount of glass that you go through as well as the time and energy that it takes to do each piece.

Thanks for all of the info Linn. I'll definitely check it out as I want to take my time since I have to wait for my son to move the 220 line, but first we need to wait on the weather.

Hi Everyone,

I've decided to buy a new kiln and have narrowed down my choices to the Pearl22 (Paragon), Skutt Clamshell and the Evenheat Studio Pro 24. Does anyone have a preference for one over the other and why. Thanks to anyone who is willing to give me some advice. Stay warm.

Cynthia and Warren, Thanks so much for your help. I guess I was pushing the limits, trying to get a big a piece as I could. I guess I'll be saving up for a bigger kiln. I do own at least seven books which I have read including Brad's and Stone's, but probably need to reread on a regular basis. I've ...

Okay - sorry it's taken me so long to reply to all of you. Glass - Bullseye - two layers - clear irid facing down on shelf on papyrus paper, black on top Size - 13" in diameter ; shelf was vermiculite - 14" round sitting on top of the shelf that came with the Skutt Firebox 14 on top of 1&q...

what is wrong with my kiln. Actually, I think I know what is wrong, but hopefully someone can tell me how to fix it. This is the 2nd piece I've fired and has been ruined. Anyway, to make a long story short, when I opened my kiln today, this is what I saw. Here are the specifics: Bullseye glass, Irid...

As a librarian, I can only wish these were sitting on my check out desk. As a glass-a-holic, I can only wish I could do this. I love all of your work and also wish to "someday" take one of your classes.

Patty

Just beautiful, Sharol, as always.

Thanks, Sharol and Marty. I couldn't get the pin out when refiring, so I used my dremel yesterday. It came out fine. I now have it back in the kiln -leveled and covered with fine frit to fill in the divot. Hopefully, it will be okay. Thanks for your suggestions.

Patty

Hi all, What's the top temperature I need to go to get a pin that fell from the lid and is stuck in my glass. I really don't want to go to the top temp as I have already fired this piece twice so far. It is a pot melt which actually looks pretty; the second firing was to 1500 to even it out as my ki...

Great - thanks for your quick response. I appreciate it.

Patty

Hi everyone, I need some coarse frit and wanted to use up some scrap glass. So, yesterday I put it between cardboard and hammered away. I did pretty well (I think) and have what I need. My question is can some of the fit be small fingernail size. I'm planning on a freeform design for my flat disc wh...

I love both. I can't imagine the attention to detail you put into these.

Patty

Thanks guys for the input. Both glasses were 96. I checked with polarizing film - no halo. I still haven't learned how to reduce the size of a photo so I can post a picture :oops: I have it in the kiln right now doing a flip and fire - a little hotter with a little more of a hold. It's still too hot...
