Super Bowl Sunday in the Studio
Kickoff in one hour!
We just finished casting a furnace load of hot glass into our new graphite molds. If anyone needs these, I highly recommend Weaver Industries of Denver, PA. These folks are great to work with. We got three molds made for a new series of glass sculpture Laura is doing. They will be similar to some of the sand cast masks, she has done in the past, but instead of pouring into a traditional sand mold, we are using the graphite. Sooo smooth and fast! We have about a dozen small, medium and large faces in the annealer, and they will come out on Tuesday. Laura will have plenty of work to do decorating them with fabric, beads, feathers, etc. We will send some to our photographer Steve Meltzer in Seattle to photograph. He is the absolute best. Steve and his wife Diane are good friends. They used to live nearby in Sarasota, but last year they moved way cross country to be near their kids and grand kids.
Short entry today. I've got to shower and get ready for the big game. I can't decide who to root for. We love our former Bucs coach Tony Dungy, but as a one time Chicagoan and avid Florida Gator alum, I would like to see Rex Grossman shut up all his naysayers and play a great game.
Here's some trivia: Peyton Manning and his Tennessee Vols never beat Florida.
By the way, yesterday, my son Tony and I went to Gainesville and saw our Number One rated Gator basketball team absolutely CRUSH Tennessee. Go Gators. . .
