Two Updates in one! First, I have been seeing these dot mandalas all over my social media and decided to give it a shot. Just, WoW. This style came out just incredible. I was especially surprised with the glow in the dark version that I was certain was going to turn out as total garbo, but it's just incredible. For those new to my work, these are fused glass (96 coe) and are made with either cbs dichroic glass, or cbs' glow pigment with sandblasted images that are layered to give a dimensional and unique effect vs your standard dichro pendie fare you can find out there.

Secondly, I own a taurus 3 ring saw and it has been just increble over the near decade I have owned it. It's absoltely great for hobby work. Unfortunetely, as I have become more and more successful at glass work and am constantly making stuff every day, the wear and tear on the hobby level saw is just becoming way too much (my extremely hard water doesn't help the bearings either) and so I am changing my loops and designs so the saw isn't required and I can just use my lap wheel. I think it's actually an improvement over the loop style I was using. Let me know if you agree or disagree.
