Bio

I've been working with glass about 10 years. I am mostly self taught and have only recently started taking classes in Houston. Starting with jewelry creations and now expanding to slighlty larger works. I enjoy the larger pallet to work with but continue working mainly as a jewelry artist.

The paper is between two layers of glass? What makes the snowflakes white if the paper burns away? This would be so lovely to try!

Anne: You do amazing and incredible and impossible things with glass!! Do you ever come to Houston to teach? Would like to take a class with you. I would go anywhere in Texas, and that's a big territory, to take a class with you!! Cindy C

13-1/4" Versatile Stand

Item# 81322

Sturdy, stable, July 30, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Sturdy, stable, good finish. Good value. See my 8" review for more details.

Cons
Would like to see Delphi give dimension of iron and how high the legs are from the table surface. Would help the user identify what size could be best suited.

Other Thoughts
Purchased while on sale which made it an even sweeter deal. I keep wrapped separate to help minimize scratches to iron. But feel it doesn't scratch easily.

Good size & variety, July 30, 2013 4 stars

Pros
Good sized pieces, over an inch square. Good for jewelry. Good variety. I prefer to buy when on sale.

Cons
Didn't find any.

Other Thoughts
Bagged all surfaces touching, but not scratched.

10-1/4" Versatile Stand

Item# 81321

Sturdy, durable, July 30, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Good value for the money. Stable, sturdy, coating looks and feels nice. (See my 8" Stand review for more details)

Cons
The iron is square. Delphi should provide the diameter of the iron used to help user decide the size of piece it could hold.

Other Thoughts
The legs are about 2 1/4" from the table surface and your glass will sit about 2 1/2" of table surface. All sizes except the 6" have the same length of legs. Delphi could also provide those dimensions.

8" Versatile Stand

Item# 81320

Sturdy, stable, July 30, 2013 5 stars

Pros
This iron stand is a good value for the money. The welds are smooth and well connected. The coating seems durable. They travel to my shows, but I keep them wrapped separate to minimize scratching. Stability wise, it can hold a piece much larger than it's measurements. The iron is square and is about 3/8" in diameter making it sturdy. It would be beneficial if Delphi would provide the exact diameter of the iron itself in all the descriptions as it makes a difference in the piece that is set on it. Slight possibility of seeing the touch point if the glass is light opaque.

Cons
Not in quality. Delphi could provide the diameter of the iron in each stand.

Other Thoughts
Sits flat on surface. Also is even across if your glass is square. Your glass sits about 2 1/2" off table surface when on the stand. Could be important if your piece is odd shaped and dips down irregularly and is not straight across. (Hard to describe.)

Taurus 3 Mega Blade Kit

Item# 57004

6 of 7 found the following review helpful:

Mega cut density, July 29, 2013 4 stars

Pros
Mega blade, mega cut density. Great blade for thick fired pieces of glass. Personally have only cut up to 6-8 mm thick glass, but can't see why it wouldn't cut for example pattern bars. As all diamond blades,they are best when first installed. Suggest bigger projects or thicker glass be cut first when you install a new blade. Much sharper and faster. But depending on how much you actually cut, can last a decent time period. The blade is hard to break, very sturdy. I've used Taurus 10+ years and only broke 3. Two of which I used so long that I had to push with great force to cut through the glass and the force actually broke the blade (guess I wore off all the diamonds :)). The other time, I was pretty novice and tried to make too many intricate turns too fast. Makes good straight cuts, recommend blade stabilizer be used on older model saws. Helps to keep the cut straight. Can make intricuts, straighter is better and slower is better than faster (movement).

Cons
No diamond blade at these prices last long enough, right? Only slightly harder to install than the round blade.

Other Thoughts
I'm a Taurus user and never had any other saw. So I have no comparison to saws or blades. I own two.

Silver Plate Oval Link Bracelet - 2 Pack

Item# 70462

Durable & hearty, July 29, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Durable, hearty link bracelet. Good value! I like the weight, it feels substantial. Others carry a lighter version of this. As an experiment for coating durability, I wore this 1 month constant, sweating, swimming, showering, etc and no change is color. Links can be removed fairly easily for smaller size adjustment.

Cons
They used to be sold in two lengths which was handy if you didn't want to add a couple extra loops (which makes it a little off balance). Other than that, I didn't feel there were any.

Other Thoughts
When gluing, use a 2 part epoxy for better, longer lasting hold. Consider roughing up the blank a little with a dremel for extra staying power.

CCCreations comment on Donna Sarafis: The Work of Inspiration
April 5, 2013

I just recently completed a 4 day class held in Houston with Donna. It was one of the best things I've ever spent my money on. She is intelligent, focused and creative. The information she gave here is the same that she gives in class. And you got it free from Delphi. Take her advice. It is very helpful. I have already taken some of what she shared in this article and already feel better about my art and the direction I want to go. Donna is a great teacher and wants to share her love of the art. She is inspiring. Cindy C
