I like the idea of maybe controling a spot for the glass to run. Maybe out the bottom of the piece and make the bottom thicker and part of the design and it will help it stand all on it's own and you don't have to cut it off, it becomes part of the piece Cynthia. This will give you LOTS of movement . Les Well if anyone can figure it out it WILL be you. I like the idea of maybe controling a spot for the glass to run.

Well...I've done a lot of small casting with aperture pours, where the glass flows IN...but it stops. What I like about this is the flow through, as if the color is rushing past. So...I'm wondering if there's a way to control this reaction and at the same time control the color movement. Place more glass than you need in the mold, put a hole in a sacrificial corner you plan to cut off anyway, and let the glass move through the piece into a reservoir (and I guess make yourself a really nice potmelt). Hmmmmm. Wasn't really what I had in mind, but this is the first time I've seen this level of movement all the way through the piece. There's something worth figuring out here, not sure what. ;-) Thanks, Les. Well…I’ve done a lot of small casting with aperture pours, where the glass flows IN…but it stops.

Surprises are the best and it can lead to such amazing ideas (how to control that movement but save the glass and integrity of mold). VERY cool . I can hardly wait to see it all cleaned up and I can just see you with your water pik outside in the pouring rain salivating as each piece of mold material comes flying off and onto your nice black pants and shirt. Tee hee. Well done Cynthia. Les (and yes, kiln wash does work wonders) Well how fantastic.
