Good Morning, or afternoon I guess depending on where you are. Today is update day. We are now in the home stretch before returning to the warm waters of Florida. It was a pretty miserable weekend as far as weather goes but I guess I got a real taste of what Washington is known for. The weekends are slower days, and much needed slower days. All of my pieces have been cast, some are coming out today and some are coming out tomorrow. Now it is just going to be a race against the clock to get them all cold worked before I come back into town.... or Wink Wink if I don't Ringling will get some waterproof tools Wink* So far life is still great. I still rarely see Mark past dinner time, and we are all convinced that were going to starve when we get home because no one will ring a bell to let us know we need to eat haha. But back to Mark, He has been doing mostly kiln forming (fusing strips of glass together to create interesting imagery), but he also had some of his molds sent to him and has been working with I believe slumping faces. I'm really interested to see what comes out of that experiment. My casting experiment comes out of the annealer this morning. I made a relief mold out of plaster instead of sand and kept it to a small 2" thickness at most. I think bubbles are going to be a problem but who knows maybe they settled in the annealer. Today is going to be a good day. Most of it will be spent cold working but I also have a drawing that I will be taking breaks to work on. Homes for the invisible people... that is a much longer story that you would have to ask me in person ha. I'm not great at taking pictures but I'm going to steal some off facebook from friends here to pass on great memories to yall. Pictures of my work so far will be coming soon, but I have to say I have never worked with glass so you will have to cut me some slack (wink). Until tomorrow, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well.
