Towards the Torch....

ok, thank you all---I've started a file on Glass Info and will be going to the
library tomorrow!!

but the idea of you and glass is mind-boggling - in a good way!


Thank you Vicki! I can see the glass as having a much longer learning curve
than the PMC. PMC and polymer clay have a lot in common, toolwise and technique
as well--I can poke at it with my fingers, which I already know better than to
do with molten glass!!!

Your polymer clay is so amazing!

Thank you Jerri! I think there are some ways of using multimedia that I am VERY
curious to explore. Glass, PMC, and PC all have to be worked very differently
but should go together rather well--- just look at Cynthia Toops and Dan Adams'
glass and PC work.

Oh, I vote for spending it all back on tools and supplies even if it didnt
mean a tax break! Food, rent?? whats that?
I do believe your glass work will be even more irresistable than your
polywork. Im all excited to see what your particular style and signature
will be in glass.. waiting will be hard!

I'm looking forward to it too----I'll be moving slowly, as I do need to
keep up
with making polymer beads!! But if I do get a decent sized royalty check
for
the last quarter of 2003 (I hear Michaels' picked up my books) the I will
need
to spend a lot of it on business, so as not to have to pay so much self
employment tax.

That's the cool thing about the schedule C tax stuff----make money, spend
it
on business tools, and get to keep the tools AND maybe a refund or a tax
break.
OR, spend the money on rent, food and other frivolous such bills, and
have NO
tools to show for it AND owe big bucks. I'd prefer to start buying more
tools....and I have a friend who also wants to get into it, so we can do
it
together at first!

I agree!! I AM going to spend a biggish chunk sending my DS to college a while
longer, but he's studying film and video production, and I intend to get my
money back out of him in trade later!!

ROFL!! What I really meant was to make sure the class is taught with
safetly in mind. The room where I took my class had almost no ventilation,
and being newbies, no one thought to ask about that (All they did was open
the door), so we all had chest pains similar to Tink's for a couple of weeks
afterward. And of course, make sure they give you proper eye wear. I
know you won't let them get away with teaching an unsafe class.

Taking a class will be
invaluable - make sure to ask about safety and equipment.

Oh to be sure--I'm OCB about ovens already. I'm what's refered to as a
"checker". And I NEVER run with scissors.

snicker You are joining the wild and wacky world of glass. It's just the
beginning.

the door)

Will do, Kandice!
The main reason I've not gotten into glass before was the safety issue first,
then the cost. But we'll manage--every person in my household is born under a
fire sign--two of us are Aries Sun-Aries Rising (I'm one) so I figure we should
have SOME sort of incendiary leanings!!!

It's gonna take a while--but I'll get there!!
And when I've got a grip on the basics, I'll start arranging visits with people
who can show me more!!!
