WooHoo! Pictures!! Good morning everyone! Happy Belated B-Day Mike/Kat! I spent yesterday filming a webinar with James and Freddy over at Glasscraft. The end result was possibly our best collaborative marble to date. I will have some pictures of it when it is cooled completely! I am so happy you all are getting your packages early I did gift my mail lady with a pendant, but my guess is that the USPS is gearing up to get ready for the busy holiday season.. Any way you look at it it's awesome that the mail is moving so quick!

More pictures Pretty Please!? Can anyone who got an opal encasement TrippyTip figure our a way to capture the fire within? It was really tough for me to do, and I would love to hear your method.

I still am not picture capable, but your pictures are very nice so I used that one

I showed my opal tip to someone and they made comments that opals are too fragile to get into hot glass. Clearly you did it, so you must have some special technique. Did you perhaps coat the opal in something first? Or put them in a borosilicate glass tube, then encase them and let them cool slowly? Are they Gilson opals?

I wasn't gonna question but you opened it up

Freddy is the opal genius at work here so I will have to put these questions to him and get back to you about it. Whatever he is doing it is for sure borosilicate glass surrounding them, and they turn out absolutely beautiful!

Okay you're going to read about me in the paper partner kills his partner of 20 years for cooking. I went home on my break to smell this smell that I absolutely love and you find out he is baking chocolate cookies with chocolate and peanut butter chips again one of my favorites

Well, I do hope they put in there that he was TORTURING you and you killed him in self defense...

I do a lot of opal work so I can answer this. Hope you dont mind!

Gilson opals are what is used in boro glass. The technique is fairly simple. You make sure they are very clean, close the end of small tube, let it cool and drop your opal in. Once its in, you heat just enough for the glass to flow around it. Then you pull it off the tube, shape it like a marble and attach it to whatever complete piece you have waiting for it. Goes in kiln immediately after that for nice anneal. They don't have to be coated with anything. Real opals have too much organic compound in them and will release gas into the glass causing it break.
