96 today and sunny. Good day to play with glass.
I pulled the first of the 4 bears out of the kiln today. I only have one mold so it will be 4 firings. The second one is in the kiln, and with luck I can put the third in tonight. It is 8 x 6 inches. I spent the rest of the day making three jewels. I love this one. It is 2 x 2 inches
There is a raven inside and it is different colors and views from different directions and light. If I had gotten back in time for the current glass show I was going to make something like this. The theme is Beatles songs. This one is Blackbird.
Side view of the raven. I also made these two, them are much smaller. About 1 1/4 inches long. I get so much pleasure watching the pieces evolve into such beautiful things.
We drove up the Poudre River canyon west of Fort Collins to hike. Last year the Cameron Fire roared down this canyon burning 208, 663 acres. The did a amazing job saving buildings. Most of the trees along side the rode we saved, along with some islands of trees through out. Here are some photos this year.
More fire destruction photos. Photos of the hike to follow.
