whatever it is i bet it is the same thing that happens when you try to fuse/slump on whiting (calcium carb i think) at those temps. don't you wish you had paid more attention in basic chem. ?????? i do. rosanna

no silly, not storage. i usually fire 4 shelves. so i have 3, 5 gal buckets in my kiln shed to hold ingoing or out comming shelves. kiln shed is 8' x 8'. so limited space. the buckets work well as little pedestals. no john, not yet. but soon. i have allthe parts. how is your new kiln doing? give us ...

are you making a big flat pocket to slide the photo in? that probably will not work. the glass picks up texture from the paper. one way to do a frame is to make just the frame and then use e-6000 or some other glue to glue it on top of the glass that will cover your picture. there are lots of ways t...

ps, is this on a wall or see through? rosanna

another thought would to be to seperate the design into its components. trunk, different leafy boughs, sky,grass........big chunks. then mount them as large'tiles'. with or without some sort of grout or caulk in the seams. rosanna

i get up really early. go over all my stuff. add about 75 lbs of stuff that i will not use. pack my truck. get in my boat. go fishing. rosanna

i cant post replys so i will start this new. there wqill be at least one person there who wants to steal your money. i believe that a cash box is inferior to a cash belt. some use a fanny pack. i use a cloth nail pouch painted with my studio name. large bills left small bills right. cull out large b...

i remember that article. they said to set up your booth specially for the
shot. show only booth in the photo and do not fill your booth as much as you would if really at a show. they said it made for a cluttered photo. rosanna

if you hold around 1000 it will burn out. rosanna
