Some poeple watch paint dry, I watch my RGA scan to see when my water peak ( 16) gets to 4 x -8 torr so I could run yesterdays Irish Green run. ( RGA is the acronym for Residual gas analyzer)

My sister Karen really likes cats, has two Maine C**n cats. It's a little hard to draw the one with that much fur so I went for a general shape. it is a 6" slump, the color is Mojave Gold on clear fused to a dark blus backing.The outside smaller ones is the size I would do on a full sheet pattern. If interested in a full sheet of these , hit me up and I will make the mask.

Bird's eye view from the restaurant of the Aerial Lift Bridge, I have watched it lift a few times on Utube so nice to see it up close.

We were invited to be a vendor in the 2026 Glass Fest put on by the Retailers of Art Glass and supplies group. I was held at the B**g Veterbs Historical Center in Superior Wisconsin. It was a tabletop how and in the third Picture you can one of the plane displays from our viewpoint.

Here is a fired sample of my new pattern, Fleur-de-lis. It's blue as I had a Cool Blue run to do. I have shipped one to the artist who gave me the suggestion in my Irish Green color.

Two new fired patterns from suggestions from the Glass bead Expo. The dragon is from my first mask, made a second mask to get the antennas more visable. I had an existing turtle patter but some asked just for an outline so they cen add their ideas.

A suggestion from the 2026 Glass bead Expo for a shadow of my turtles pattern so the artist could add their own touches. Here is the first two runs. I made 2 .030 thick masks to illustrate a point about edge effects with a mask. The one on the left is a single .030 thick mask, Irish green. The next run I doubled the mask thickness to .060 for the one on the right side, Irish green. Both are unfired in this picture. You can see the thicker mask changed the color spread on the outside edges.
I lot of masking/pattern questions, next year I will bring some masks/tooling to help people understand what happens.

Ready to ship the first Fleur de lis patterns on coe90 to the artsit who gave me the suggestion at The 2025/2026 Glass Bead Expo.

05/05/2026

I received a more than few pattern suggestions at the 2026 Glass bead expo, along with a very bad cold. The first one I took on was to use my dragon fly mask that I used to make my giveaway 40 mm Cabochons. The first pictures show the first run, but I will have to go back and increase the size of the antennas as the didn’t come through when I ran the red color.
My turtles were a big hit at the show sold out all I brought but one artist asked for just a turtle outline so she could do some things to add her style. The other mask I just finshed was for the the Fleur-de-lis pattern. I was reminded it was asked for at the last expo 2025 and I forgot to get it done. Well here it is. I will be running both patterns latter in the week with Irish Green as the color. Stay tuned for those pictures.
