a work in progress….
Anytime we needed to fire the kiln and there was spare room on the shelves, i’d quick quick put something together to try out this, that, or the other thing. Sometimes I’d be thinking about some way to try something new or a slight twist on something i saw while helping/teaching folks during the day. This is what i ended up with this this year – I see at least one more glass button coming out of this (lower right corner) and perhaps I’ll set some of the wavy blue/green cabs in some metal jewelry… but the rest is one big question mark. They may just sit in a bowl in my office for a while until I figure out what to do with them.
Every so often when we were firing the kilns for fused glass we’d have a little space on a shelf that could still fit another piece in. And since it’s a shame to not use every spot you have when you’re firing, I’d get the occasional chance to create a little something-or-other to fit in those spaces. Some of these are experimenting with some technique that my mother wanted to show people and we were making sure it worked before telling them to try it 🙂 like using a candle to bend stringers for those crooked mouths.
