    JO-5 I love your crocheted throw. Stunning.

    Crochet and Knitting are 2 crafts I have never mastered well. My Mother In Law did beautiful work and she always made things for me. Wish I had of gotten the chance for her to teach me.

    I adore watercolours. art see your work is amazing.

    Thanks for sharing ladies.

    Smurf, I love the way you have that transparency on the left panel. I did not know you could do that with acrylics. Actually, I know nothing about acrylics. But I thought they were opaque like oils, except that they dry faster.

    I like that, TallnTerrific. Did you take a class in slumping glass, or do you have your kiln at home?

    lumping Glass

    One of the most common techniques in kilnforming glass is the technique of "slumping". This is the process of placing a piece of glass in a mold, and heating it hot enough and long enough for it to droop down and conform to the shape of the mold. It is usually the last trip through the kiln for a project. The first firing would be to fuse the glass. An optional second firing would be for a firepolish if needed. The third and final firing would be to slump. Each of these firings would be at progressively lower temperatures. For example, one might fulse at 1500F, firepolish at 1390F and slump at 1180F.

    If the glass is drooping into an object - it is called slumping.

    I went to an art event and saw birdhouses with mosaic fronts. The woman does classes for kids - think birthday party.
