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.

 Today I made a fountain for Phil's birthday.  I used dichroic rainbow glass for the base and topped it with clear.  After it fused the dichro "crinkled" and gave a really neat texture to the bowl. I used the green leaves in the center.  This was the first attempt to make a leaf platter (it failed in the slumping mode) so I used E6000 epoxy to put it together.  Recycling is The Deal.

I have a 10" circular wrought iron stand the base will sit on, and I will get some pretty rocks to put under the leaves to add dimension and perhaps change the sound.


The sound of the water falling is soft and not really noticeable.  Adding rocks will change that.  The pump is submersible and has a dial to increase or decrease the intensity of the flow.

If you want one of these, let me know.  They run about $300.00 plus shipping.
