TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I put my name in the title so I can find it again. I know, I'm retarded!

I just put the naked lady painting in the kiln for the second firing. I'm so excited/nervous!

In only 12 short hours I will know whether this worked.

Fucking hell, I meant to take a pic of it before the second firing. Oh well. Here's the link to it before the first firing (NSFW): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3580/3654639471_b702b60e8d.jpg?v=0

I toasted my fingers and got a pic in the kiln: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3657241081_b3963af345.jpg?v=0

Looks good!  How many firings do you normally do for a glass project like that?

Thanks! Three: one to melt the enamel onto the bottom layer, one to fuse the top sheet of clear onto it, and one to slump it into its final shape (in this case, a dessert plate).

I just crashed the kiln so the nerve-wracking part is over!  :mrgreen: I just have to wait until it cools to see how well it turned out. I saw a couple of bubbles but they look deep enough to not worry about. Only one more chance at really fucking this up!

LOVE art from found objects.  There's a gallery in downtown Pasadena that does that.  Amazing stuff in their windows all the time.

I wonder when he's going to update that? July's theme is "Revolutions".

Lots of fodder for that going around, that's for sure!
