  •   Butterfly Texture Mold
By on
Pros : Fused glass using high fire Boron Nitride. Details were perfect. Glass lifted off mold easily.
Cons : The glass removed from the mold easily, however, the deeper parts of the design brought with it some plaster from the mold. I could not remove all of it.
Other Thoughts : I had read somewhere that Boron Nitride was good for texture molds because it allows for better detail on the glass. I don't know if my problem was using BN or just weak pieces of plaster. I did not pre-fire the mold.

  •   Beautiful detail
By on
Pros : Beautiful detail, smooth surface, nice size. Works well with Hotline Primo Primer, and all details stay crisp.
Cons : none
Other Thoughts : Butterfly and grass details can be highlighted after firing the glass with Pebeo paints, and still be food-safe.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

4 Ways to Stop Procrastinating Today
Apr 30, 2010
Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
