i have a problem (a good one)

I don't know much about glass but it would seem to me that you could approach it much the way custom knife makers do. Most have a "gallery" of their artwork. Some post up pics with prices until sold, then put a sold banner on it and remove the purchase price. That way you can increase pricing as your talent and reputation build. There are knife makers that are working on a two year wait list.

i do sell my stuff on line, but until this show that i have on saturday is over, i only have a few little things on there. as soon as i post something new that's larger, it sells, so i stopped.

The largest I can make right now is around 11" across or 12.5" across. Thats not HUGE, but its not small either. My kiln would accomodate a larger size than that, but I don't own any larger molds yet.

Oh I was looking for a huge bowl to go on this new table I got.. Maybe 36-40 inches wide.. that too big for your kiln?

there is a locally owned glass blowing place about 30 minutes from here but they ass rape me in how much they charge.

yes, that's awefully big and i know it would be very expensive. a 36" wide bowl is 3 feet though... are you sure you want something THAT big?
what i COULD do, if you were interested, is a series of small triagle shaped plates that would fit together to be approximately that big (or some other configuration), but you could use them individually. You'd probably need 12 or 13 plates though, to form a complete area.

12 plates x $30 a piece is $360000000000.

Hey, you know what you should do? What one of my favorite artists, duane kieser does. He puts little paints up on his blog and ebays them.

They start at $100, but usually end up at around $300.

I expect a SUBSTANTIAL k donation for this excellent piece of advice.

his paintings are good. although, the peach half with pit bugs me because the perspective is off and the peach is floating above the table.
