		<description><![CDATA[...and consequently I have no idea where to sit.

To put it more understandably, Bullseye just unleashed a new website design on the world and in the process broke a whole boatload of links to stuff. Bullseye's technical documents are pretty much without peer in the art glass industry; I link to them a LOT.

This means that a whole boatload of links in MY blogposts are now busted, as a result. And that means that I am an unhappy camper.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here's one more reason to buy an iPad (as if I needed one): Bullseye's just released a very cool little IOS app for glassists, and it works on iPhone, iPod Touch and...(drumroll)...iPad.

It's a collection of Bullseye tools and educational documents, pretty much what you find on Bullseye's website, including tipsheets and technical notes. There's a Fahrenheit/Celsius converter in there, weblinks to the Bullseye Gallery, their online store and other parts of the website, and a browseable version of the latest Bullseye catalog.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lemme borrow a writer&#8217;s proverb for a sec: I hate coldworking. I love having coldworked. More particularly, I love having coldworked by hand.* I&#8217;ve so far found nothing to match the incredible, silky finish you get with hand-coldworking a piece of glass, so I was really interested in Paul Tarlow&#8217;s new book, Coldworking Glass without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The presence of Portland Farmers Market a few yards away might be reason enough to attend BeCon, Bullseye's biannual glass conference, but there are others. I usually gain fresh insights, and the one I picked up this year was a doozy, quite possibly not one intended by our hosts:

Glass isn't a medium, it's a crutch. We don't need to cross over as much as we need to throw away the crutch. (Honk if you think that's scary)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If yesterday's BeCON was about art vs. craft, today's was about superstars, the rovers who successfully made the trip from glass artist to artist, or who retained an open enough mind to cross into kiln forming for awhile.

Or at least it started out that way, since the opening presentation was Lino Tagliapietra, Dante Marioni and Marc Petrovic talking about the intersection of glassblowing and kilnforming with BE research dude Ted Sawyer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can generally say three things about the first half-day of Bullseye's BeCON glass conference; It's the world's longest half-day (about 16 hours this time), it involves a lot of hugging, and the best part happens after 7pm.

Thank heavens they didn't decide to make this a FULL day.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I blow lightly on the glass wafers, watch them tremble, vibrating the shadowlines. I'm utterly delighted at finding a kinetic dimension to what's been my favorite glass installation for awhile now. And that's both the wonder and problem of this show, but more about that later.

I'm playing with Stacy Lynn Smith's "Selection," which made its "I have arrived" debut last Wednesday night at Bullseye Gallery's inFORM* show. BE Gallery stuff hasn't always been to my taste, but as far as I'm concerned they're batting 1000 lately.

Selection first showed up a couple of years ago in a Bullseye Resource Center show for their employees, took the top prize there, and I remember thinking, "Why the HECK isn't this in the main gallery?" about two seconds after I saw it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do you do if you want good-looking, kiln-fusing murrini that you don't have to make yourself?

The vast majority of murrini makers are using 104COE (Moretti/Effetre) soft glass, which is NOT compatible with the most popular fusing glasses. Some will custom-produce their designs in 90- or 96-COE glasses if you ask...but you gotta ask.

There are a few artists producing (and selling) traditional murrini using Bullseye-compatible or Spectrum 96-compatible glass, and there's some impressive stuff out there. It's consistently-sized, it's repeatable, you can buy as much as you want to cover large areas...and some of it is absolutely gorgeous.

I thought it'd be useful to keep a running list of such places on my blog.]]></description>
