Barbara [Svetlick] Wilson

Blogamatically Challenged

JULY 21st

The part for the kiln [new elements] came and Lewis changed them out. I spent yesterday making Magnolia flowers and leaves for a black violin. I used to be able to change out elements on the McKinney kiln but Paragon has a step by step video on Youtube. Thank you Paragon.

I put two photos on the front page of the flowers. Today I made more flowers and tomorrow I will finish up what I need to do the whole violin. Then I will start on the brown violin which is a full size one. I haven't decided what flowers for that yet.

After that I need to make a show piece but that is still in the thinking stage. I am still trying to combine clay with my glass flowers. I find that I much doing flat relief in clay rather than pots. I'll keep working on it.
