I’ve been playing with new goodies…glass goodies of course. It goes with the casting. Or at least it will. What I’ve been starting to play with is boro tubing. Not something I usually do a lot of. But the project I’m working will be insanely cool with some boro tubing flared out. There will be pictures soon, I promise. Now on to what this posting is really about. This evening I was at The Spirit of 96 shindig at Pacific Art Glass and I found out they were getting boro sheet. Huh? So I figured I do a bit of research. Over at Schott Glass they have boro sheet…this looks interesting. For those of you that don’t know about borosilicate glass it’s “hard glass” vs “soft glass”, such as Bullseye and Moretti and Spectrum. It has a very high melting and flow point and it’s very strong. It’s Pyrex…so, we’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you posted.

Decorate the inside of Easter Eggs for a change
We all think about decorating the outside of Easter eggs but eggs make great containers for little dioramas. To accent the cute little dioramas the edges of the eggs can be wrapped with one of my favorite things- pompom trim! Hop on over to The Crafty Swedes blog to see more adorable pictures of Easter egg dioramas.
