PLACES TO VISIT NEXT

Kiln casting is a technique that I like for its eclectic results.     
First , an 'original' is created, out of clay, rubber, or wax.
The original is then placed in a box, then filled with a plaster
mix ( casting material ).   When dry, the original is removed
from the casting,  and the casting is removed from the box,
This is the mold, which has a void in the form of the
original.   

The 'void' is filled with pieces of glass, then fired in the kiln,
to take the shape of the original.      Click to the left to see
more castings.

" Best Stuff "

No matter how hard we try, we can't          
come up with better 'stuff' than what         
is found in nature.  These are                       
castings of cactus flowers - pretty              
touchy to do.  The hardest part was           
getting the flower to hold still for so           
long.    It just wanted to run all over            
the place.   Pets, babies, and plant life;      
they just don't co-operate when you          
want them too !!
