How I create things in my kiln, and what eventually happens to what I create...

Glass goes in the kiln, and glass comes out, quite altered! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's what happens in life.

Not your daughter's home made pot holder

 I call this sculpture "Open Weave." It is on a 10" x 10" flat piece of black glass backed with clear. The "squiggles" were slumped about a week ago.  They stuck to the rods on which they were slumped, and broke off in different lengths. 







Boy was I mad. I broke all but one of the rods trying to get the glass to part company. That is what I get for trusting Boron Nitride mold release spray to last more than one firing. It didn't. The glass I had left from that slump I wove (literally) together and came up with this.








Another bunch of broken stuff put to good use. The 
squiggles are tack fired onto the fused black and clear glass.
