@HeavenlyPossum that was the #virginia delegation. #madison ended up punting with that effing 3/5 person compromise and it haunted him and us forever. #Washington freed his people. Madison almost broke and his stepson lost the farm, #montpelier. #DolleyMadison died in penury in a boarding house in DC. #jefferson not so noble as Washington, and his daughters sold #monticello in one of the early depressions to admiral Levy. #Adams warned, madison cobbled together and hoped.

Visited with students and gave slide talks two days ago- and pulled tubes with some very talented students yesterday. Gonna give another demo for UW glassblowing students today.

It's like my birthday came early with the tubes. Gonna make a video at some point to share the glassblowing fun- but Amber an Skye were SO helpful, with Amber having blown glass since they were very young, and learning to pull tubes from my favorite tube puller in Tacoma.

I saw wonderful undergrad and graduate student work, seen here are Amber's "two truths and a lie" tubes covered in black glass powder and resist sandblasted through (I pulled some of that black/ brown). A studio visit with Morgan, a third year grad student was very neat- their ceramic and neon sculptures playing with texture, dementia, memory, and structure- integrating the neon and clay quite nicely.

Blue, purple, brown, green, orange striped tubes laid out on a wooden table. Hot pink lathe and sandblaster in the background
Skye at the other end of the post while Amber nods in approval at my rusty hot shop bubble stretching skills
Two truths and a lie piece by Amber. The black glass powder on the outside gave the tubes an interesting brown filter with the neon fill, as well as an interesting texture. Their handwriting, Rayzisted sandblasted onto the tube, allows the bright, unfiltered neon through

I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

me, wearing red and pink kitchen gloves, with a funnel, and all the fire polished lols attached end to end with latex tubing hanging down. bottles of chemicals and messy dryer pan are on the table.
shiny blinged out lols drying off on the new york times. Other shiny blobby glass objects and plastic things in the background.
six lols against a black painted table, with their ends fire polished
The long tube with all six lols in it... actually I think there was another tube of lols. Box of tissues and red stabilo 8008 pencil and white block on the non metallic table. Student in the background.
