Bullseye Glass Reaction Chart
So, as I was thinking about creations I am going to make this year, I decided I needed to know what glasses reacted with what materials or other glasses. Bullseye has a great page with all that information on their site. But I wanted a quick chart I could print and look at while I am working. Here it is. I will also post it on my Glass Links page.

My First Show
My first show reception was a success! I had a lot of people compliment my work and some possible future sales. I met some cool artists from St. Augustine and several people associated with Hendricks Ave. Baptist Church that are pretty awesome.
Woot!
If you missed the reception, you can still go to the church office and they will let you in to see the show.
