Heat-stainer ; The only one on e-bay using high heat to turn clear glass,into the colors you see, same process used back in the early 1970s to apply coatings,carnival. so on. i try to bring near perfect glass coated, to the new collectors and the people who would like to owen= 3000.00 glass, but like us all would like to pay alot less.this is my hobbie ,art i love to do, as theres not a lot of money in it, when it takes 2, to 3 hours per item. after finding glass ,cleaning it then heating it ,with a 20% loss rate,then staining ,drying, you can see, it takes time.and if its not your best,start all over, and do it right.as every one i sell is one of my best works,with any good finished product, there are no seconds.thats when i put my mark on it,and for the ones who always ask,=( CAN I BUY A UNMARKED ITEM ) = same for all NO, every item i sell carries my mark. (sticker) as not to take anything away from glass of old.
NATIVE;webster's dictionary;(a person born in a country or place.)right from the book it starts by not saying ( a native =person born with his culture or home land.)
aboriginal; to be first in a region and may be primitive when compared with a more advanced type . ( right from websters. dic)
so being native american, when you here the words they sing in the canada anthem. ( and still indian reserves where we are told to stay, where natives were takken from ower lands, still here in 2008 , yet when the japanese and chinese were takken from there homes in canada=were latter settled with paid for lost lands and a letter from the canadian goverment ,telling them they were sorry, for the wrong that was done. them FOREIGNERS in ower home land made right, were talking logging/minning/water/hunning, decades =are benefits =no taxs charged on the reserve, but no work on the reserve, no loans or bank benefits or insurance on homes we cant ever owen. ;( but here we sit.unseen ,no settlement , i think they are waiting for us to die off)= yet every day across ower land they turn over millions, stop check out a res home,canada land of the free, just my thought.s
Now; there are always those few, with no friends, and to much time on there hands , that just spend all there time, watching others work,i call them (PESTS) look it up ,they like to contact and pester, then run back to the flock, and tell all , write about there, harassments, making them feel 10,feet tall, and yet they have never met the person, but are the 1st to judge. you know who these people are, there are always a few in every group, (I.CO.N.) or ( N.I.A.) and the others that belong to all ,yet none .i mark all items i sell, and iam up front ,in every add online.its like the tree hugers,or porno. I SAY "DON'T LIKE IT " ,(DON'T GO LOOK )-( OR DON'T BUY OR BID ) free country here in canada .so do anything to better the glass collecting, don't make life hard. or scare off new collectors,people sure are brave online,i say if you have a problem, deal with it face to face.don't talk behine there back, so to you new collectors buy what you like to display, or love to owen, and do as we all try to, pay the least for the items we so would like to collect, thanks for your time.and have fun collecting ,with out the "fun", why would we spend so much of are free time and money ,to do it. ron
