very inspiring. I took a class and at the class the very same thing happened to the resin. It stayed sticky. My sculpey sculpture was ruined in the mold making process and with the sticky resin my mold was ruined. The class instructor was very embarrassed as he had mixed the resin. Oh well, live and learn.

Sent you an email… Unfortunately, my kiln is too small but if anyone else has the facilities to do this, please contact Vincent.

Interested in the black glass you treated and fused. Are you interested in producing a 1/4″ bathroom shelf (about 24.25″ x 5″) in exactly the same design style and pattern for me? I think it’s so cool. If so, get back to me please with a price. Thanks much.

I think it could go well with “knifoon.”

I do remember that. Those readers were actually pretty good at introducing us to different authors and ideas. Although, Komodo dragons still freak me out a bit from one of the articles we read

And I remember seeing a picture of ‘George Elliot’ too, although I’m not sure it was in the reader, looking rather masculine and wondering if that’s what she really looked like, or if that was just artistic convention or the style of the day.

There’s a long standing tradition of pen names for different reasons. I know some of the more prolific writers took multiple names so they could get their stories printed more often – sometimes most of the stories in one magazine would be written by the same writer. A western writer, Max Brand, I like had at least eight names he wrote under.

Remember reading the story in grade school by George Eliot, and then learning that it was a pen name for Mary Anne Evans? She was one of the most popular writers of the Victorian Era, and used a pen name in order to be taken seriously. I remember that clearly, a school lesson that stuck with me, and I think it was 6th grade, when you were still there. I don’t suppose you remember?

I love that book. And the concept.

I think pretending to be someone you’re not/hiding your identity is something that fascinates us all. Otherwise, why would there be so many masked superheros?

Christy,
My favorite book of all time, “Ender’s Game,” deals with this idea with a different spin. Two brilliant children take on pseudonyms to write political essays on the nets and become hugely influential before anyone realizes how young they are. It’s a pretty fascinating idea!
