DH and I continue to play with the vitrigraph kiln, making murrini cane and stuff. We had a repeat pull tonight, and I learned the value of the bubble-squeeze (along with a more controlled ramp up)! We’ve had some 20+ pulls, and we are learning with each one! But – that’s a lot of vit …
Yep! We got all four of our kids together (along with my sister, brother-in-law and niece, my dad and stepmom, my grandpa and my mother-in-law) for a family dinner. I’m a happy girl! The twins turn 20 in just a few days, our oldest will be 25 in a few weeks, followed by our oldest …
Dinner with the (high school) girls, along with a bit of pool time this week, and – Oh, life is good! [Thanks ladies!!!] My kilns are cooking (photos to come), and I’ve got my next vit stack ready. Shooting for an ocean/water scheme, and I’m hopeful we can have our pull before heading back to …
We had a fun vitrigraph cane pull last week. I finally got around to chopping, photographing and listing … Then I played around with a couple of mixed bag options … I like it! I’ll be listing a few in our shop, so keep an eye out! Our coe90 cane selection is growing, and …
I’m still playing with my reverse enameling and stamps. A few more to finish and I will have a major coffin load of spoon rests & dishes. Tonight’s progress: I was painting while heating up our vit kiln for this brown/tan pull. Oops! Having said that … SOMEONE (DH) was right there with the …
DH surprised me tonight by suggesting a vit pull. Aww … Thanks, babe! So – we did. It’s Bullseye aqua, teal, steel blue, emerald green, powder blue, warm white and clear. I’m happy with the results! And then, I stole a few hours for enamel projects … I love the cat & dog spoon rests. …
Spent a couple of days this week cleaning up/organizing my haven, uhh STUDIO! Good golly, it’s been a while. But she’s all back together – I can find stuff, AND I have open spaces to work! What a cool idea!!! DH and I had our pink cane pull. While it didn’t do what I thought …
My back is on fire, but I have three kilns running, jewelry tiles cooking and a new product line just about ready to go … Fingers crossed that my kilns behave! My studio is a disaster, but – ya know … I was CREATING! It’s all good. Here’s what I’ve got: Our next couple of …
Like much of my cooking, what started out as a small meal turned into enough to feed an army (squad – at least!) … I had a hankering for some stir-fry veggies, stumbled on this Moo Goo Gai Pan recipe (DH loves the name!), altered a bit with spices and veggie selection … Here’s my …
Life is good! I finished up a few new pendants … I like them! The mica base is colorful and fun … Plus – I have 6 more in the works! Meanwhile, I continue with my murrini/cane madness … We did our green pull tonight. I’ve got our next few stacks cut and ready to …
