Thank you, Nynyra, it's lovely to meet you!
You didn't have to delete it altogether. Were my instructions unclear? I'm happy to elaborate more. Also, there is a handy stickied thread in the Introductions forum that explains (screenshots included!) how to multiquote so you can reply to everyone's posts in one of yours.
Welcome and well met!! Please don't hesitate to ask or PM if you have any questions.
Welcome Cynayne
Welcome to TV ! :joy
Welcome to Tar Valon!
Greetings and welcome!
If you'd like, take a screenshot of it for me before posting so I can see what's going on there.
Thank you, Satrim! I am all too happy to share my glass knowledge with anyone who wishes it. It was something I sought to do for a living way back when, but the jobs weren't there when I'd finished my apprenticeship, so I went to University instead. I mostly teach now, and do the occasional panel to raise funds for various organizations. Ask away!
Do you use a forge to melt sand to create glass? how do you get all those fancy pretty colors? Do you think a normal air powered charcoal heated forge would create sufficient heat to melt the sand? how do cast it? Do you cut it or do you use a mold? At any stage in the process is anything toxic produced or used? And finally do you think I'd be able to do it in my backyard?
Sorry, you said ask away and the dam crumbled.
Welcome! If you have any questions, or just want to chat, feel free to message me!
Welcome to Tar Valon!
You made it by yourself? Wow!! I like it even more! and that fabric is really gorgeous!
I find glass-blowing fascinating. When I was at University I worked in a shop which sold decorative glass, of all kinds. The person who owned it had previously worked making glass scientific instruments. He then moved on to making things like cutlery handles, and glass flowers. The knife for our wedding cake was made by him And somewhere I have a glass bauble which I blew myself (with his help ) I absolutely loved that job.
