Sins of the Fathers Part 3


"Sins of the Fathers #3" © BG Dodson 2008. Mixed Media. 6" x 5" approx. Clay box with fused glass & Intel Pentium processor.

This is the result of a 2-step firing. The first firing had me hoping I'd managed to capture everything I wanted -- but the window glass I'd overlayed the Pentium chip with cracked free and fell off. I layered on more clear glass with a touch of stained glass and re-fired. This looks a bit more solid.

I'm really thinking now I need to fire at a lower temperature than cone 04. A trip to the clay store is in order (since I'd never considered I *MIGHT* want to fire at something like cone 012).

I'm out of available boxes at this juncture, so my fervour shall have to wait.
