Hi, I'm looking for a supplier of hourglasses, just the glass though, not the actual completed hourglass. Can anyone suggest a supplier? Thanks, sue.

Thank you so much for all the great information concerning my problem! The experts have come through again! Am taking all your suggestions to the customer before proceeding further. The possibilities have grown since my first post. Seems a builder in the shore area wants to install at least one...

Does anyone know of a resist that can be run through an injet or laser printer. I have cut vinyl resist into sheets and run through my injet printer and the design transfers fine but never dries so smudges easily when trying to cut. I am concerned about the heat of a laser jet causing...

I just had my first chunk-o-glass fracture in my kiln. :-( I was slumping a 3.5"x3.5" shallow dish and it cracked right down the middle and flung its two halves to opposite sides of my kiln (granted, since the cavity is only 8"x8" they didn't fling far). What's REALLY annoying is this...

How can I make Glass with grass ?

There is another way to make the star. Instead of using triangles for the points, use 4 sided polygons. You will end up with a star where the center isn't hollow, but I've found that they are easier to put together. The point of the polygon that goes in the center of the star should 90 degrees,...

Hello Everyone! I am selling awesome Egyptian glass Camel and Elephant perfume bottles at www.hoteimports.biz

A friend has a very old knick knack consisting of a water filled globe holding some imitation roses made of a waxy material. "Ball-O-Beauty" it was called. She opened it to make some minor repairs to the roses which had fallen from the stems. Before sealing it back up she was wondering what, if...

Can someone recommend a glass retailer in the Phoenix, AZ area? I recently moved to Tucson and am having a problem finding glass that I like for some windows I'm making. There are a couple of good places here but I can't seem to find the glass I want. Thought maybe there might be a place in...

why is it that wine-'experts' rather drink champagne from a crystal than from a plain glass (with the same shape)? Is it because - crystal shows the colour of the champagne better - crystal gives more bubbles - crystal gives a better 'ring' whit the toast Maybe more than one of these criteria is...

Hi, Here's a question for the lamp makers out there. Exactly where is the beaded fringe suppose to be glued to the lamp shade. The fabric edge looks a bit large (checked out the fabric store today) for just the solder on the edge. Do people glue it to the glass? Seem like that would cause a...

Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to wet grind the top opening of a couple of Murano blown fixtures? I need to expand the opening on the top to go over sockets, and I'm scared ****less they may decide to fracture or explode. -- JK Sinrod NY Sinrod Stained...

Have an existing door at a sea shore cottage. The owner wants an insert, (21" x 35") on the inside. As this involves grandkids running in and out with the usual "slam", what kind of strength would be needed for this kind of use? My thinking at present is to use copper foil with copper-plated...

Would appreciate any information on sources for magnifying glass components. Google search has been futile. TIA Al

I'm a furniture maker, wood and metal worker, and I know almost nothing about working glass. I'm designing a light fitting at the moment - a rectangular horizontal box with a shallow "pagoda" roof above it. It's to be wall mounted above a mirror. Construction is of foiled and soldered glass. ...

I'm trying to find a tecnique of glass painting (on beerglasses) that will stand up to the rigors of being handled. The first attempt was done using solvent- based glass paint. All seemed ok to start with, but after a while the paint began literally sliding off the glass as it was handled. Maybe...
