finally some HOT glass...

Well..today was the day...I did it.  Primed my new kiln...and fired it up......wow..I love it....I have been doing cold glass for so long...and always learning and evolving... This just adds endless possibilities to what I already do.  Can you tell I am excited...

So today I picked though all the sheets of fusible glass I have been purchasing for so long....all the colors, textures...manufactures..hmmm..what to do..

I was suppose to be in the shop working on inserts and an absolutely fantastic contemporary piece..which I love...and I just could not get my kiln out of my mind...peering though the window in the top watching the process....so cool.  Well I did get the inserts done...Andrea did most of the foiling on the contemporary panel..and I fused my first project.  I would not call it an absolute work of art...but it is pretty cool.

It is amazing that something I already enjoy so much...just keeps getting better and better...too bad everything was not like this...

Anyway it was a fantastic day...starting this new process @ the studio...and of course I must thank Andrea who is a wealth of knowledge on hot glass.  Great to have her.

Hope I have not bored you with my uncontainable excitement.
Have a great night....cannot wait till tomorrow.
