Overcooking … Doh!
Another lesson learned – the hard way. Apparently one can ‘overcook’ PnP in one’s heat press. Dammitall! At least that’s what I think happened, as I decided to take the 15 dichro pieces through one-more-round in the heat press. Last night’s successes didn’t etch correctly today – the PnP mask didn’t protect the dichroic surface. …
Gathering as we grow …
WWU: Someone decided it would be a good idea to have me as acting charge nurse this past weekend … WTH?!? Such a silly notion! But we got through, and outside of a huge THANK YOU to my co-workers, I have nothing more to report. [My therapist thinks just a few more sessions required to …
My little Peanut …
Playing with frit again. Here’s a tweaked picture of my Maggie Rose – from a few years ago, before she got chubby. [The poor girl has so many nicknames: Mags, Peanut, Fat-Butt, Magnolia Rosebud … she comes to all of them – especially when food is involved.] Anyway, here’s my glass rendition … fusing in …
Thanksgiving …
I have a lot to be thankful for … Thanksgiving went off without a hitch, no one got sick, I got through the day with minimal thoughts of – and NO ACTUAL – maiming of family members(!), and with all of these left-overs – I won’t be cooking for several days! But seriously – while it was a busy week, …
Oh … I’ve done it now!
While being sick, to boot! That’s my excuse, anyway … I have been dreaming about the ‘Cadillac’ of glass paints for a LONG time now. Umm, not anymore … I ordered ‘em! Cuz, my screen printing equipment arrived, and I realized I needed more enamels! I’m just waiting for those to arrive … In the …
Cuz Moms CAN!
Been a busy week here at Clayton Hill! But a great week, too! * I’ve been busy in the studio – in stolen ‘patches’ of time – which may make me more productive (???). I have new dichroic cabs (that will become pendants, badge reels and now … PINS!), as well as some other dichroic jewelry …
It’s getting hot in here …
Oh Fred … I know you’re trying! Look at what my poor DH has ‘rigged’ for me lately, in an effort to cool down the studio … And, to add insult – he’s having issue with our pool. Being the redneck version of Fred Sanford that he is … he has 3 filters, all in …
Sometimes I don’t like people very much … AKA WWU
Wow … I’m sooo glad this weekend is over! Way too many recreational (=CODE for drug and alcohol related) injuries for my liking. There is a subtle (ummm, NOT!) difference in working at my ‘lil Country-Club ER … folks (including the drunk and/or high ones) expect superb customer service – even while they’re dropping ‘F-bombs’ …
