Painting and drawing


I am still experimenting with 'painting' with glass. But am I getting anywhere with this? I don't think I am. Three more in a kiln as we 'speak' but I'm told only one of them has survived intact. I suppose that must mean the other two have broken. I don't think I've got the right temperament for all these kiln failures. Carried on with the life classes while the pieces were in the kiln. Do you need to be able to draw to paint in glass? I think, yes. This drawing - and all my other ones - got thrown away by locker-room clearer-outers, along with some expensive kiln paper. I understand how this happened -- they need to clear the decks -- but it felt like a metaphor for how things are for me at the moment.
