Hey, Happy Crafters! I am really excited to share this week's shop update with yall, and Randy and I picked 5 of our favorite cabs to feature to you! This was difficult to do, because each one is so unique and stands out on its own <3 Each of the cabs discussed below, and many like them, are available for sale in our shop

Hey, Happy Crafters! This summer heat hasn't stopped us from running the kiln and keeping busy experimenting with some -new to us- frit colors. Here is what we have been up to!

The colors we are using, pictured above, are all medium size coe 96 frit and were purchased from www.delphi.com. We also included mosaic size clear and medium dichro frit in each of these experiments.

After it was eaten by a lawn mower I decided it was finally time to refurbish this much abused Gnome Home and give it another 3 years of testing in my garden. I will update this blog post with a link to the video of how I renovated this piece.

Randy and I went to our first class at Creative Escape Glass in Springfield, MO. We were excited about glass fusing, but not sure what to expect. We signed up for two projects on this first visit, frit fused cabs in a mold, and puddles. The artist that helped us make these projects was very fun and helpful, and I stalk her on Instagram where she shares her beautiful pottery! ( I gotta get me one of her cicada mugs!!!) The owner wasn't in the studio that day, but I felt we were in very good hands.

Our first project, pictured above, was frit layered into a mold for fusing. I didn't get pictures, but what we did is we layered the frit into a mold very similar to this one, that had been sprayed with 2 coats of ZYP Boron Nitride to keep the glass from sticking.
