Penland School of Crafts, 21st Annual Benifit Auction, August 11 & 12, 2006 ........................................

every year they hold an auction with the work of current and past instructors from thier summer sessions to drum up funds from patrons for upkeep of the facilities and to help provide scholarships. good cause and fun to watch the woman who comes every year to buy the Stankard piece at any cost.

is the 7-11 still open? were out of chips...

the meal, days in preparation. the men dressed in the finest suits of linen and silk. the women, draped in jewels Cartier himself would be jealous of, and so couture its got Coco Chanel and Louis Vuitton going white and whispering. a Chateau Brion 73' brimming over a fine Venitian goblet. regal Wolfhounds resting after the hunt. Versailles eat you heart out, we got Wal-Marts!

    to the point..
    Matthew Eskuche: hey Mark,
    that there is a couple ounces of agua azul. i use a reduced peacock chameleon to get a lighter blue, but it gets a little grainy as it gets blown thin. if you look at the bottle i did for the GAS demo you'll see it there.

    i stretch my point handles out so that i've got more than a foot in length on each side of the mass that's in the flame, and keep the diameter of the handle to about 3mm. also, having two thin hollow point handles allows me to quickly and easily switch which side i open or close. i do this multiple times when i shape a bubble that is larger than a couple inches in diameter, especially one with differing viscosities such as incalmo inherently presents.

    shaping gets much easier the lesser the weight and diameter is that you're rotating between your fingers.

    i'm not sure how ingrained you are in Rogers school of thought, but
    it's not too late. come over to the dark side..

    besides, blowhoses smell funny.
