Haven't done much in terms of glass over the last week as I have been taking a little rest. Life has been completely made since I attended the Trade Show back in April, and have been needing to spend some quality time with my daughter. And its been wonderful, we've had a great time.
Today we went to a birthday party in the village and had a fab time. I even managed a couple of glasses of Shampoo - as I wasn't driving!

I normally work with COE90 (which seems to be the more popular), but the new glass I ordered is COE96 and will have to be fused together with other COE96 glass.
Who would have thought that glass could be so technical!
But that's the joy of what I make and do. I still get a buzz from opening the kiln and not knowing what will greet me - sometimes you are really surprised with what comes out, but also, some disappointments. Not all firings are successful, you can get glass slippages and moisture, that can completely ruin a piece. But I still love my job.

can i ask why you had a few glasses of shampoo, is this correct or should this be wine (ha)
It was champagne, commonly known as shampoo
The glass in this post is gorgeous! I'm a little clueless when it comes to fusing glass, but I think it'd make super cute earrings (my one jewellery weakness)...

Those glasses are beautiful! Can't wait to see what you make!
