Got the stamp. Looks great. Don’t blow glass again till Friday and I didn’t want to wait to see it so I just hit a little piece of float glass with a mapp gas torch. It works beautifully, even at the lower temp. I’ll send a pic when I use it on my pieces Friday.

Liked the little pattern so much I made a stained glass hanging of it for my studio 😀

Thanks again!

There are many different types of stamps for clay, each with their own unique features and purposes. Here are some examples:

Textured stamps: Textured stamps are made by impressing a textured material, such as fabric or mesh, into clay. These stamps can create a variety of patterns and textures on clay surfaces.
Cookie cutters: Cookie cutters can be used as clay stamps to create specific shapes or designs. They are often used in pottery and ceramics to create consistent shapes for functional items like plates and bowls.
Roller stamps: Roller stamps have a cylindrical shape and can be rolled across a clay surface to create a repeating pattern. They can be made with a variety of materials, such as rubber or carved wood.
Stencil stamps: Stencil stamps are made by cutting a design into a flat piece of material, such as paper or plastic. They can be used to create precise designs on clay surfaces.
Mold stamps: Mold stamps are made by creating a mold of a three-dimensional object and then pressing clay into the mold to create a replica. They can be used to create detailed shapes and designs on clay surfaces.

Glassblowing stamps – Elizabeth Fish

LeRoy:
This is Elizabeth Fish; I purchased two stamps for you for glass work and I finally got a chance to get back into the hotshop and use them. They are brilliant. I am so thrilled! I am fairly new to glass, so I learned a new. shape – a “scotch” glass and I stamped the bottom or side. I am so pleased with the outcome! My studio is pretty busy for August, but I will be back in September, trying more. I just wanted to let you know I love them and I am logging on to etsy to order a couple more. I’ve attached some photos of my recent efforts, but keep in mind I’m not that great at it yet. But, I will be!
Thanks,
Elizabeth
PS – I hope to get artwork for new stamps up to you in next couple days. No hurry on these ones. I am planning ahead for christmas gifts!

BLM TIP Mustang Rescue

TIP – Trainer Incentive Program

Hi!
So there are virtual auction adoptions every few months for mustangs! I can’t really offer mugs for each auction adoption because hundreds of people adopt in each online adoption and I don’t even have my own kiln yet, I use Melyns 🙈🤣. What I do plan on doing though is contacting the mustang heritage foundation which is the foundation that Runs the “TIP” (trainers incentive program). The program gets mustangs gentled and adopted out-and the trainers are then paid a certain amount for gentling the horses in the short allotted time period. It pretty much gives these trainers incentive to gentle as many mustangs as possible ! But the program needs funding and obviously as many donations as possible so I was thinking of doing like 10-15 percent of my mustang mug proceeds going to that, once I can get everything mechanically correct along with my glazed and the correct type of clay that looks rustic enough, which I think I have found! After this next batch of everything goes well, Melyn thinks I’ll be good to go for orders! You should really watch this documentary called wild horse wild ride. It about this even that’s held every year called the mustang makeover and the people’s journeys with their assigned mustangs! It kind of explains a lot, and is run by the heritage program! (I’m pretty sure)! My personal Instagram which shows most of my animal/ mustang stuff is @ali_greenberg87 and my pottery one is @lucias_terra. It’s hard to explain to the Instagram audience for my pottery one my project and the meaning of it but I’m getting there! Sorry for the essay! Watch the documentary! You will enjoy!

This is the little mustang who I have been helping gentle, she’s the love of my life, her name is Ellie

Typical turn around for the custom stamp for clay is next week. Meaning if you place the order today the stamp will be ready and in the mail by the end of next week.

Great working with you.
