		<description><![CDATA[Hey--just a fast note for Ernie lovers: Ernie's mom is in the news.

Brenda Griffith, the powerhouse GlassValkyrie wonderwoman of Atlanta, is doing her best to convert the South to kilnforming (and beadmaking and glassblowing and, apparently, nude dates at the gloryhole, but that's another story).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Glass sticks to almost anything when it's hot, and practically nothing when it's cold, which is why I love it as a work surface. It's also why it's such a pain when you have to stick, say, a hollow pate de verre relief sculpture onto a wall.

We won't go into the time I used GE Silicone II to attach hangers to three pate de verre panels for a show, except to say I'm very, very glad that pate de verre bounces.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul hesitated. "Do you really need the stands for these pieces?" he asked, "I think they'd be more effective if I shot them on the table..."

So he laid a pate de verre panel down on the sweep instead of the neat metal stand I'd brought. He adjusted the lights, climbed up on a stool to take the shot, and transformed the entire piece.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Light and I have been in conversation as far back as I can remember. Most times, I just listen. Sometimes I get to talk back. Rarely--too rarely--we sing.

And it's beginning to feel as though we'll sing, soon.

When we sing, the light becomes a tangible thing, flowing like water, etching everything in its path, and I finally, blindingly, understand in my bones the definition of "illumination."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did the 8 to 10:30 shift tonight at the Waterfront Blues Festival, manning the cash register for Empty Bowls. That's a joint effort between the Oregon Potters Association and the Oregon Glass Guild, where members donate work for sale at fantastic prices, the proceeds going to the Oregon Food Bank. From what I could see, it's been a rousing success.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, the book's title is not an oxymoron, at least not for author Johnathan Schmuck. The dude actually likes to grind and polish glass, and since his writing gives no sign of mental deficiencies I must conclude he knows what he's talking about.

"Joy" is not the first word I associate with coldworking. "Hell" would come closer. Cold, wet, slimy, gritty, carpal tunnel'd hell.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was the perfect end to a very glassy week.

I've been to a few BEcons, and this was the best, IMHO. Of course, it helps that it was about casting, my current obsession, and that BE attracted some of my favorite casting artists as speakers. Gotta give kudos to the BE staff, not only for pulling this off at all, but for keeping 250 cats herded fairly efficiently.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, I am 32, 6 foot 10, built like Morgan Le Fay (or maybe Wonder Woman) with streaming black hair and a princess conehead hat thingee. I walk around with a computer on my head and a chunk of glass in one hand while the other hand does Queen-like wavelets to the populace. Or so folks meeting me at BEcon thought before the cold light of reality struck.

They got the computer and the glass right, anyway.

This BEcon (i.e., Bullseye glass conference) was a showstopper in many ways, but the best part, as usual, wound up being the people...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You measure the quality of a conference by deltas. That's delta as in change, not large-muddy-lump-guarding-the-Mississippi. The delta between your pre- and post-conference who/what/which/how knowledge should be at least as great as the trouble and expense you've invested in going.

As far as I'm concerned, BEcon's day two deltas pretty much paid for the trip.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first day of BEcon was, by turns, heartwarming, fun, fascinating, annoying and humorous, with a touch of old home week thrown in for good measure. I pretty much enjoyed myself from start to finish, met a whole bunch of faces to put to lovely names and personalities I already knew, and found some excellent grub, to boot.

I spent most of today greeting, hugging and laughing with old friends (who introduced me to new). More art, more philosophy and a LOT more tech tomorrow--today was mostly about hooking up, with a few highlights.]]></description>
