what's in a name

Tuesday, December 21st, 2004

Now that my glass site is up, I need to figure how much I want to link my online persona, which I have had since 1991, with my art site. This has never been an issue before, but then, I've never made something I might ever want to sell online before. I've been Lunesse since [...]

Spring

Tuesday, December 21st, 2004

I made two necklaces for gifts this year one was Fall and one was Spring. This one was Spring, and my first playing with silver foil. In a structured way. I will have to try it free form on beads when I get back from AZ. <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/gallery/images/med/7.jpg"> Spring p.s. Happy Solstice, everyone!

http://www.juiceglass.com is live. It has a few tweaks to be done and I have many more photos to put in the gallery, which seems to have it's own tempermental issues with some browsers. However, just hitting refresh on everything but IE on Mac seems to solve the issue, if it's even there in the first [...]

Woo hoo.

It worked! Venting allowed the program to finish blinking "CPLT" instead of "FTL." I didn't overlap glass well enough on a pendant so the hole for the cord did not appear, so I'm making 4 more now, and hope for better luck. The pendants that need to be mailed ARE done, so those can go, [...]

5 in…wait

5 pendants in the kiln, and I'm sure it will tell me "fired too long." Again. According to the manual this happens when the kiln does not fire faster than 27 degrees in an hour (definitely not the problem) or runs 4 hours longer than the program time. That's the problem. I really think it's [...]

One more for the road…

Another reference tile. Steel Blue does fun things in the kiln, and you can use it to your advantage by blocking parts from the heat, so that it doesn't go matte grey. =) <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/fused/steelbluetile500.jpg"> dots and swirls Good Morning! Happy Friday!

We had to make a tile of something recognizable, using all the elements we learned to make in class. Here is mine. Love the tiki torches, man. The moon was a last minute addition. I almost use a light blue back color, and I am so glad I switched to black. <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/fused/tikitorchtile500.jpg"> Tiki Night

same thing as last time, the kiln threw an error, "fired too long." I think the heat just doesn't go away as fast as the program schedule expects it to, when it's at rest. This morning when I opened it, more than 12 hours after I had started the sequence, it was still at 150 [...]

Fused plate – my first

Wednesday, December 15th, 2004

The culmination of my class projects this past weekend. More to come, smaller things we made, but this was the main event. <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/fused/orangeplate500.jpg"> 9" x 9" Fused plate This is friends-only for now until Christmas, since I'm giving it to my Mom. =)
