I'm far too excited about an order I just placed. Delphiglass.com just has too many things that I want and I had such a hard time choosing what to buy. At first, I thought about getting some tools--perhaps a glass saw and/or a sandblaster. Then I started looking through the glass and projects available. The tools will just have to wait for a while. *sigh* I've been toying with the idea of making kiln fused bracelets for a while now. I like the cuff style and the heaviness of the glass. So, I just couldn't resist getting the mold for them, the graphite forming tongs, an instructional book, and lots of 1"x8" glass strips (clear, black, and various colors and textures of dirchoic). Also got copper wire and shelf paper (thin as well as 1/8" thick). I've also been wanting more of the art glass I've worked with in the past. I'm down to one 12"x"12 piece of glass and I'm hesitant to work with it because it is my last piece. So I ordered some sample packs of 8 pieces of glass (6"x12" pieces) of art mixes, streaky mixes, and such. yay! I also ordered some dichro slide paper. I worked with this a bit when learning how to do all this fusing stuff. My mentor, Laurie (aka Spike), really loved the dichro slide paper so I ordered some plain scraps, some texture scraps, and a sample set of full sheets. Now to head to a local craft store and get some neat paper punches so I can work with these more effectively. These will make neat additions to my fused pendants as well as nice accents to my plates and bowls. Finally, I ordered some more pre-cut clear glass circles, 8" and 10", as well as an 8" round monoco plate slumping mold. I have a 10" round monoco slumping bowl on backorder, but can use my 10" popcorn bowl slumping mold in the mean time. I also ordered some jewelry bails since I'm running low on those. I can't wait for all of my new goodies to arrive. Luckily, Delphi ships pretty darn quickly, so I shouldn't have to wait too long. Why oh why can't I win the lottery so I can just buy one of every tool, mold, and 96-ceo glass pack they have?!?! ;-)
