Samhain or Halloween

Lunch at Clipper with Bridget and Deb
Bridget is in town because of her show..which opened last Tuesday night at Glass Artists' Gallery. An opening is not quite the right arena for catching up so lunch was arranged (even if I should be writing an essay instead). Though really friends (especially those who don't live in Sydney) are more important than essays!
Maze support
After a chat with Marcus on Friday (or was it Thursday?), he is going to weld me some support for the maze a kind of cartwheel affair that we will attach to the table base..it will be, after all about 60kg or so...
This morning Dougie drove me to Mascot Steel for the primed SHS 25mm x 25mm 3mm. Cubular steel I call it. Nicole was very helpful..and told me about Hooper Bearings.

Maze section E and the centre
It took a while to melt and remove the wax from the centre piece. My poll on whether to paint the model people or not resulted in mainly 'unpainted', a few 'painted' and one 'mixed'.
my improvised steamer (and apple) |
The centre piece (mark 2) mould ready for the Kiln (and glass) on Monday |
Section E model ready |
