September 7

I'm finally going to use my deep bowl mold. First I'm fusing a two layer disk, then I will slump it in the mold. This is a tricky one (bullseye glass, the manufacturer of it said so) I have to put on special green glasses and look in the kiln to stop the slump when the center hits bottom. That will be tomorrow when the disk comes out of the kiln.

The pictures were taken this morning with poor light, it is pouring rain here, and the camera needs to be recharged.

Bottom layer - sliced to let air escape.

THE Mold

UVA colors made by a HOKIE!

Halloween is coming!

A little geometry!

Two festivals for May!

We just got back from Staunton where we participated in the Hot Glass Festival. It was so exciting to be with glass artists from all over the country.
We have to get that kiln fired up tomorrow because we shows the next two weekends. This Saturday (May 1) we will be at St. Michael's Episcopal School for Magic Dragon Day - that sounds like fun. Then, while Nancy is flying off to England, I will be in the Fan for the Strawberry Street Festival. I love strawberries so I'm hoping one of my friends comes by so I can run out and by some berries and those goodies made with them that I have read about.

I'll post pictures as things come out of the kiln!
