Is this not what that skateboarding video was all about? The Martini people encourage you to get out there on the edge, so lets talk about cutting stainless steel. Its not much different than cutting any metal. A jeweler's saw, a hack saw and a drill bit are the only tools you really need to make any kind of a cut or hole in that stainless steel martini glass. How did you want to cut the glass? We can probably step you through the technique and process.

I really wanted to do something other then a glass, since your allowed, but cutting stainless steel isn't the easiest thing the world. I'm still thinking about it however. My friend has some electric tool used to take apart cars...But do I risk ruining the glass and making a mess and entering nothing?
The sensible, realistic part of me cries out "NO!"

But that's such a tiny part, with such a weak voice ;)

The last photo of the martini was it for Art of the Martini?

My glass so far looks much like yours, except for the twines, and leaves, and work done to it...I was thinking of just signing it and sending it back, but for some odd reason I don't think that will work. Oh well, I'll wait till the panic and pressure fully take over and see what I come up with.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this. Your insight is invaluable and much appreciated.

At 9:32am on July 28, 2008, Brigitte Martin said…: Hello Corliss and John:

I gather from your website that you participated twice in the Materials Soft/Hard Exhibition in Denton, TX.

One of our crafthaus members has tried to get into this exhibition a couple of times, unfortunately so far without success, even though her work seems to be a great fit.

I was hoping you could share with us a few images and descriptions of the pieces you exhibited there as well as give us information about the event itself and anything that you would find relevant from your experience. There is nothing on their website that is really helpful in this way.

Thanks so much.
Brigitte

Welcome to crafthaus ! I am very glad you joined us.

There is always a lot of activity on the site, so it is great that you have added some images of your work so quickly. I really like your work as you seem to have quite a subversive streak. I got a good chuckle out of the images posted and I am sure you will get some great feedback from some of the other artists.

Thanks for posting a comment on one of the blogs already. You work quickly :-) Of course, if there are other topics you'd much rather talk about, please add them to the site so that the rest of us can chime in.

I really hope you will enjoy being with this network and find the exchanges interesting and fun. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.

If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me anytime. I will do my best to be of help.

Again: Welcome !
