Like any other day I went into my studio, turned on the kiln and lit the torch. I set out to make some more implosion pendants like the blue daffodil to the left. This time I was making a mushroom that turned out pretty neat. I turned to open up my kiln door and say the temp reading 60 degrees. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and start torching and forget to start the kiln. So I thought I forgot again. I started the program again and put the bead back in the flame to keep it warm. Unfortunately the temp just sat there blink 60 degrees. My stomach dropped and I felt like I just lost my beloved pet. Luckily I still had a fiber blanket that I could put the pendant in so it wouldn’t crack.

I contacted the kiln maker and now I sit here and wait for the replacement parts while my torch sits there all alone waiting to be used. I’m not sure how long its going to take to get here but I hope its soon. I’m going crazy So many ideas in my head that I need to make come to life.
