Ready for the Holidays!!!

My pendent drill..., do not like dremels!

Black foot peddle on a black floor!

Flexishaft

These glass stars were made from the bits I cut off the glass sheets when I was cutting out the circles for the bowls. I just sat them on the kiln shelf and the cooked quite happily.

Diamond burrs and a bench knot

Making holes.

Really enjoying head slumping, and encapsulating the plaster mold. Work in progress, but I have sold four already, as seen.

Better in real life I think. I have made some clay heads to slump onto.

The three faces!

"Stuff"

Just playing with "Stuff"

Silicon mold of Zola, but need more depth for the plaster I wish to cast.

So more silicon, without the corn flour this time. Never done this before but it works quite nicely.

A short interlude!

A spot of felt making

Towels and bubble wrap.

Water.

Olive soap.

OK enough of that, back to Zola

And a bowl with a bead glued to the side.

Plaster.

Mess!

Lovely

Make more plaster casts, 

This time with P.V.A.

Some are good, so more must be better.

Paper!

Making more paper mache bowls..., can't seem to help it!!!

Remember the painting of dots I did, that I wanted to turn into fabric?

It has arrived, all the way from America.

Onto glass....., yummy!

Slumping quite a bit of glass now!

Stars are made out of the bits I cut of the sheet glass. Need to drill some holes in them, add a ribbon etc. 

A bit more glass, The one with the three blobs on it, those are glass beads  I put on to make feet..., they work as feet, but look horrid.

On the right are a couple of bowl which Rene Laliqued all over the kiln!!! Sorry!

Zola, plaster and glass. At first the plaster wouldn't come out, which I was fine with as it looked great.

Emery paper for those sharp bits of glass.
