Just to add to the mix. Sorry, the pic is crappy. This is what I was whining about in the other cold glass/hot kiln thread. Hmm. the taller one looks crooked in that pic. Maybe it is.

I am happy how this finally came out. I dropped the first two on the floor while moving into the kiln. Third time is the charm.
The ring came out well too.

Chris those are truly scary in a good way LOL. Marcel I would love to learn the reticello as well. Pipyr OMG girl I have been so stalking your ebay one of these days I am going to get one of those matchbox encaustics they are unbelievably cool. Greg i love that marble and your strawberry is great. Bec those are really getting good you are getting the goblet thing. I know I missed a bunch more but that is all I could think of off the top of my head....Bravo everyone!

Here is what I have been up to lately. The pieces are wet in this pic, so you can't tell that I need another 4 stages of polishing on each of them. Oh joy!

Also, have you ever worked quartz glass?

Thanks a bunch, guys! There is really some amazing work in here. I still remember the earlier days of the boro S&Ts...I think we've all improved, huh?
Marcel, that sculpture rocks. How big is it?
Meker, the matchboxes are real matchboxes with wax painted on them. The eyes are glass And nope, never worked with quartz. Some day...maybe.
