Implicit in Ted's gloat is the fact that he has room in his studio for all of this stuff. How annoying. Good score though, Ted - DonWithBookGloatToday

Real men don't wear jewelry on their bodies. THey'll hang it from their rear-view mirror though. Think Dale Earnhard motifs. Ford and Chevy, Harley, Playboy bunny ears, and those little silouettes/stickfigures of seated girls with big boobs. Fuzzy dice. Bass, muskie, walleye, whitetail deer bucks. I...

clip I only read books. But anyway The DeVinci Code is well worth reading - just for inspiration alone. Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon and Thomas Hoving's King of Confessors are similar books that you might enjoy. Probably less spurious history than what I've heard about Da Vinci code. But every r...

I didn't know they had these:

Schoenling. BUt I drank Strohs in the hickey years. Worse than cadmium/lead poisoning from Reusche enamels. (or actually might be identical)

I saw this page on Ferro's site. I don't remember ever seeing it referenced here.
If your enamel work suffers from chain marks, crizzle, fish eyes, hickeys or whiskering, check it out

Cool. I like the black irid w/vanilla one a lot. Looks ritualistic.

went googling. found this. "ingredients: drying oil (linseed, poppy), wax (paraffin), colorant (pigment or dye). method of manufacture: the colorant is mixed with linseed oil and melted wax and poured into molds." well gee thanks bert, just what i need, another tangent. i have all the ing...

Was that information worth a beer? Brock Sure. But here's the decision matrix: Type.........Cost.......Usage......Painting Loads Per Day Clamshell - $2000 - versatile - ? Hoaf 16x24- $5000 - painting - >8 New JenKen* - <$1500 - painting - >8 * (fictional future kiln hinted-at by Mike of Jen ken and...

Any statistics you can provide concerning the clamshell's speed to fire single layers of painted glass to maturity and cool again without breaking, would be greatly appreciated and duly noted in the beers-owed ledger.

Here's some hydra tissue seen through an electron microscope:

Ok its not a real electron micrograph, just a glass imitation, but its still nice.

What a fantastic idea. Do you have pictures? It sounds interesting. Brock

Dick Weiss is pretty good at it:

You could get 'H' shaped lead strips and cut them and solder them together as channels. I've seen it done before.

Dichro is tricky to fire until you have some experience with it. clip Geri Its also tricky to design with, apparently. More and more when I dichro work I think that its a great illustration of the capacity to create something ugly out of a beautiful material. We stained glass folks do the same thin...

All I remember about the formula was that it had borax in it, the same thing Mom put in the washing machine. That got me thinking about Mom (My Mom, not Ron's) and laundry. I remember a product called 'Bluing'. I couldn't recall what it was for, so I googled it. Learned something about color percep...

Years ago Jim, I remember in grade school they used a similar formula to spray the cut Christmas trees for each classroom before they were brought inside. That was a long time ago. Question: Why is it that we can accept the unlikely notion that a gradeschool student would remember a chemical formul...

I've disagreed with Gale in the past, I think, on the topic of taking pot shots. Maybe it wasn't Gale but it was someone who felt artists should spend more energy supporting one-another than criticising one-another. I understand that sentiment. You can't refute its practical value. But I don't think...

clip If they can't be bothered to reply with a simple 'thank you', I lose my interest. e I find that really thought-provoking. You have a situation where art patron 'demands' (I don't mean that in a negative sense) personal interaction and some sort of transactional acceptance/gratitude in the arti...

Vogue isn't embarrassing?

I guess its pretty lame. But I think clothing and jewelry design are fine arts, and the stuff I see in Vogue is often beautiful and usually creatively photographed.
