Kilnformed Flashed Glass.http://www.glasscampus.com

Hey that "Native Moon" is also Squamish, isn't it ?

/Jman...

It's a little of many elements of different West Coast Native. *As
much Haida as Squamish. *Those that understand native design know that
it incorporates a number of preset design elements. *Because the usual
native carvings and paintings don't adapt particularly well for
stained glass or for sandblasting, the designs we use are our own
adaptations. *Here's some of my native stained glass designs that have
sold extremely well and I've now retired and make available for free
use.http://www.glasscampus.com/freepatterns.htm

For the Gator**** group and associated hillbillies that assuredly
haven't the faintest idea what we're talking about, I recommend they
consider the outstanding sculpture on display at Vancouver airport and
printed on the Canadiand $20 bill.http://www.coreyhallisey.com/nwc_art...irit_of_haida_...

Being that my father in law was the director of the Tongass Forest for
more years than you can count, some of us hillbillies know more than
you think. Precut stencils have been around longer than you have and
have never been big sellers.

As with many things, it's the design that determines customer
support. *I came back from Vegas with a pretty lengthy list of
interested customers. *Whether or not it's a "big seller" isn't
especially important. *It's just one more product to add to the
steadily growing list of "Master Artisan" products we offer to
encompass stained glass, kilnforming, hot glass, torchworking, and
sandblasting.

A "master artisan" buys precut stencils?

You bet. *Many do. *We do a lot of custom cut stencils for
sandblasters doing multiple copies that wish to avoid the intensely
boring and needlessly labour intensive task of manually cutting out
stencils. *Just send us your drawing and we'll send back the precut
stencils ready to use. *Or, chose one from our extensive library of
designs. * There's little skill required to cut out a stencil so why
not let a machine do it for you and do a perfect job? * Why would a
pro artisan spend time on a $5/hr job when they can instead use their
time to do something more valuable? * Unless that poor pitiful artisan
has so little work they do it themself just to fill in otherwise dead
time?- Hide quoted text -

As if you couldn't go to Michaels' or Hobby Lobby or ten other art supply
houses and buy stencils.

Jesus Christ !

What kind of **** are you gonna find at "Michael's" ?
Have you actually ever been to that store ? Dunno about down there,
but here they suck **** and their pricing is through the roof ! I
think I'd rather shop at Walter Marten.....shudder..

Would real artisans shop at Michael's?
Perhaps them hillbillies in Gator****, Georgia figure it's a great
place to buy? Maybe it's the same in Outback, Oregon? Maybe I should
be selling stuff to Michael's? Would I have to put pictograms on the
labels instead of print?

You don't have time, you're too busy spending 4 hours on a simple
blast job.

Any ideas on how to explain sandblasting with pictograms for your
illiterate companions?

Nice try but no cigar. We do one of a kind. I was refering to a
'master artisan" using somebody elses artwork.

If you want to be helpful, help your friends who took 4 hours to blast
that dragon. 30 minutes, tops. Maybe you could sell them a real
sandblaster and teach them how to use it.

Dead time? Not much. Utah and Vegas are booming. High end houses, high
end installations.

As if there wasn't a vinyl sign shop on nearly every corner with a
plotter/cutter. *I've found some that even carried sandblasting resist.
Typical D-anus, *always on the dull edge of evolution.

invent a wheel!!!!

Maybe if we can get a couple of wheels, our 2 Canadian hamsters will have
something to play with besides each other's shriveled up pee-pees.

Would "Real Artisans" buy from you? I think not. A "Real" artisan
knows where to get the best product at the best price and knows how to
do the work themselves...and you aren't supplying that. How's that
custom flux brush coming along?

Enjoy your delusion Bubba. Shall I shop for a sympathy card or do you
think you can limp along until end this year?

Dennis,
Outback, Oregon? Isn't that where GAS is holding its conference this June?
If you are attending, I can give you directions to a couple of Michael's
stores.

Kerry, the D-anus's only exposure to art are the Marvel Comics he keeps
stashed under his bed for masturbatory purposes.
