Had this idea to encapsulate colorful broken glass in a silver frame for a steampunk look. The kiln cycle went fine, but during cooling, the different expansion rates caused a hairline crack in the bezel. Now I'm staring at this fragile hybrid thing, wondering if annealing would have helped. What's your experience mixing materials with such different thermal behaviors? I'm tempted to try again with a lower melting point glass.
If you plan to work through lunch, make sure the place serves food all day. I once got stuck with only pastries after 2 PM when I was counting on a proper meal.

My physical therapist suggested desk stretches, but my cubicle neighbor judges every move. Tips for discreet office wellness?
Tbh, that neighbor sounds exhausting. Happy to join in on the wellness demonstrations for moral support.
