It has to be narrowed down some how. Maybe you could twist Ray's arm to add it.

Hi Bill,
Actually the extra work comes in when I have to remake a plate 2 or 3 times. Working with glass is a challenge at least for me. Sometimes the piece fuses correctly, other times they crack or produce bubbles. Cost about $40-$50 just in glass to make each one. Gets expensive throwing away my mistakes but really nice when it comes out looking just right. Reminds me of buying baby koi and hoping they will turn out like I hoped.

I'll buy all your "mistakes"


Hmmm, before i say that maybe I should ask how much they normally go for.

Looks like votes for Yu-hime is starting to pull away from the rest. I'll give it until wednesday evening and the votes at that time will decide which plate I make for your show.

Dan,
Unfortunately when the fused glass plates go bad they go really bad. Either they shatter into several pieces or several large ballon like bubbles appear and burst leaving a large round crater window in the piece that usually involves the koi because of the multiple layers of stacked glass that form the body and color patterns of the koi.

Yu-hime wins

OK, I will make a Fused Glass Plate depicting Yu-hime for a donation to the Sakura Young Koi Show and Project KHV. I'll take a photo of the plate and post it when completed. Hopefully it will produce a very nice donation. Thanks to everyone that voted in the poll and also to Jim North who was nice enought ot set it up so well.

I am looking forward to meeting lots of Koi Bito members at the show. Please introduce yourselves or wear a name tag or something so I will know you.
