Some fun news yesterday! The stoppers and the kiln stilts I ordered showed up. 🙂
First stop was the studio to use the stilts:

Then I swung by Conant Metal & Light. Light technician Christy who showed me all around the workshop. We talked about my options for lamps, and she tracked down bits and pieces I’d need — a ceramic candelabra socket, cut a piece of brass tubing that fit around it, a gold-colored wire with inline switch, and some other bits. $10 for everything – not bad! The place is a treasure chest of found electrical stuff next door to a very well-equipped metal shop, all staffed with folks who know how to help you get stuff done. If you’re in the Burlington area and have a project, I highly recommend paying them a visit!
Last stop was the hardware store to pick up some E6000 epoxy for attaching the stoppers to their Curly Creatures… The first two are almost cured (24 hours to go – I’m so impatient) and they look great!! I’m really excited about the little buggers.
The first two stoppers!
