I’ve read about the liquid filled ampules some kaleidoscope artists make. You can see examples here.
I got some glass tubes – 5mm flint glass scraps from www.sciplus.com (along with lots of other good stuff). I think I’ve concluded that I can’t do a liquid filled ampule with my [...]
If you’re in the Rhode Island area, you can see my kaleidoscopes on exhibit at the Clark Memorial Library in Richmond. If they’re not too busy, ask one of the librarians if they can unlock the case so you can pick up the kaleidoscopes and see the different views.
I’ll also be [...]
This is my latest sculpture. I decided to make a free standing manatee this time. There is a stiff wire armature inside the base and manatee which supports it.

The group actually [...]

I’ve also got an article in the Summer issue of Polymer Cafe on a very [...]

Here’s my photo of Down the Garden Path, click on it for a [...]
I entered the Bead Dreams competition for the first time this year. Bead Dreams is a national juried show sponsored by Bead and Button magazine. Both of my entries (“Down the Garden Path” and “Salinity”) were juried into the contest as finalists. “Down the Garden Path” took third in the Polymer Clay category. It is [...]
