I still haven't figured out what I did wrong, but I could not get the solder to flow for anything. It was so frustrating! I even watched a video that made it look so easy, but I have yet to get the hang of it.

What a bummer!<br /><br />My latest disaster was a torch uhoh - I was working on sterling pendants for my female family members' x-mas gifts and was having a little trouble with my solder. Needless to say several were melted in the process and ended up in the scrap box! Oh well! Such is life!

Old oven baked 30 under. This oven is 75 over. I scorched a very full tray of pendants to the black and oily stage.<br /><br />The other, shinier, mess was dropping a full pot of mica powder onto the carpet.

I think I would be crying just at the thought of picking them up.<br />Seed beading is something I know I will never venture into trying but I have a respect for the people who do. It's like painting with 3D dots.

I've only done a tiny bit of ceramic work (when I took a class), and I was on pins and needles waiting for my stuff to come out of the kiln. It gave me a whole new respect for all you ceramic artisans!! :-)<br /><br />Since I primarily work with seed beads, my only "disaster" is when I manage to spill beads. Little tiny beads sprinkled all over the place... my husband's lucky they don't show up in his food.:-) MaryLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954014428370461835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-3478797852896254552012-09-30T08:41:46.680-04:002012-09-30T08:41:46.680-04:00Just before I went to NL I was reheating a glass b...Just before I went to NL I was reheating a glass bead to modify it.. If I'm reheating a bead I take the kiln to 1200 don't use a program don't need that when I'm right there.... well I wandered off and when I went back in the studio hours later couldn't figure out why it was so hot... well a little 2000 degree block will do that... bead is now part of the floor of the kiln and will be forever... Glass hammered off of my mandrel prop quite nicely though... kiln still works... <br /><br />New mantra...must use programer....Islandgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991784935260285292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-9918609876997960422012-09-30T07:12:07.763-04:002012-09-30T07:12:07.763-04:00Im so sorry about your recent oops-ies.

Lol. <br /><br />First let me say your display is fabulous. Wowow. Love it. Your work is amazing. I love working with polyner as well and after seeing your display my hubbys honey hurry up and do list just increased. <br /><br />My oops-ie was my kids chasing my 4 very large dogs around the house. Forgetting that the dogs run to me when teased. They all four came at me at the same time. Tables knocked over. Glass everywhere. Ruined projects. Many creations destroyed. Clay everywhere. My poor parrots were on my shoulders and scared to death. Lets just say there was a very long pause of silence. I was to devastated to even yell or cry. i put my dogs outside and went to take a long nap so I wouldnt harm children or animal. Lol. praying elves would fix it in my sleep. No such luck. Several months later and Im still sorting.. ugh. What a mess. I do a little at a time and create in my un used dining room until I finish my studio. i hope to have it finished soon. I prefer to create than clean and sleep.. One thing I learnd. Secure tops on every storage you have. Secure furniture. :) . <br /><br />Happy creating.
