@Cindy: Although I know how it’s done, I never tire of watching your tutorials, especially cane videos! I’m game for a rainbow quilt cane video. Oh, and paisley too. And I’d still like a rose cane, the “realistic” type… ;D Thanks!

@ Cindy – i would be interested in the course. I would also like to learn a paisley cane and I think there was interest in a Celtic design cane too.

I use a butane torch to fire art clay silver. It’s small and very convenient and small pieces like earrings, pendants or rings don’t reallly need a kiln. If you are going to be using cork clay you cannot use a butane torch; need a kiln.

@Debs Lobban: Hi Debs, nice to meet you! I never did do a rainbow quilt cane video. Got requests to do other things first and didn’t get back to it. Would be happy to do one, if there was enough interest though. Have done a lot of other wonderful cane designs that may interest you in the mean time.

If you click the link by my name it will take you to a post that shows a preview video of the most recent cane tutorial I have done, a butterfly wing cane. For more cane tutorials, go to the Category Links at the top left hand side of the page and click on Canework. This will bring up a long list of cane tutorials that have already been made. Hope that helps!

I don’t know what temp you have to have for fireing artclay silver at, but I’m bettin it will work for PMC also because I know an artist that does the silver and she only uses a butane torch. So I guess the temp for fusing glass is much higher, then maybe it will work. The next time I am in Hobby Lobby I will check the box and read the instructions and etc…

I am really happy that I came across this site. I have found so many helpful tips that I feel like I’m cheating if I don’t share some too!
Thanks for all of your hard work Cindy!

Debi, thanks so much for the great comment!

Now I know what you guys are talking about. I saw one of those microwave kilns in a beading magazine. That is amazing you can get the temp so high like that with it! Do you know if you can fire Artclay Silver in something like that or is it just the fused glass?

Thank you, as well, for passing on your epoxy resin tips! It is one more thing on my huge list, of things to try. I love how it looks! I’m sure your info was helpful for Judy!
