Here we are: Sue directing, Michelle on sheers and James, the ladle man, and me hovering in the wings for my star moment.
First, I made a copper-wire figure. Then I made a space for it in black sand, bentinite and graphite (you do this with your hands. James spooned a layer of hot glass into it. Then I dropped in my copper figure and sloshed some copper carbonate over her to give a blue and to produce bubbles. Lots and lots of bubbles. James then poured another lot of glass over it. Now it's in the lehr -- I won't know if it worked till Monday. As skills go, this is one of the easier ones. But I think the real work comes in the grinding and polishing afterwards.
