Pysanky retreat - July catch up
I have been so busy reclaiming the studio got away to a Pysanky retreat - leaned to color shade eggs - and really love doing it
Catch up 1 - laser earrings
Since setting up propane have been reclaiming my Studio. So many things to do - Ive done laser chicks and roosters I needed for my July Pysanky retreat
Next step - fresh propane
Picked up the propane last night and installed the gages and hoses. Checked for leaks (none) turned on the oxy cons and set them .
Sat at the torch and lit it POOOF. Decided I needed to melt a little glass just to get the feel and made a tiny turtle - (I dont usually do tiny) I want to make about 25 pairs of turtle earrings and 25 pendant size turtles and some large turtles . My list is growing for what I want to get done before next show in June.
So ready for this weekend - I may need some heaters - I bought a large one that is supposed to do my full 25 x 30 space so I may have to take the time to install that this weekend
tiny turtle for earrings
Opening the Studio 2023
Not that its as warm as I would like it but went in the other night and moved around some boxes and things so that I could access my lampworking area so that I could sit down this weekend to torch. Pulled out old propane tank as I sort of remember being at the end of it and will pick up a new cylinder to start the year fresh. Chair is ready, Oxy cons ready, venting ready-
