Hello again,
Kimberly Zanetti stayed up late again last night and typed out Rick's written paper on his Glue Chip on Glass technique. I changed all the copy this morning and the page is fully functional. Someday, maybe I can add photos.

The link below takes you to the main page we have been building for Rick. Besides the photos and general information, there is a listing panel near the bottom which will take you to several specialty pages dedicated to him, his processes, and his research. Kimberly is also retyping the papers on Gold Size and Osmalto (smalt).

People had asked Rick to write a book. I think some of these papers were probably chapters from it, now preserved on this site for all to see. In that spirit, if you have any other little gems like these, please pass them along and I will try to add them as I have time. If you have photos, I can add some of those to the articles.

Lastly, the growing chart of supplies sold at Esoteric Sign Supply is at the bottom of the list. Some of the items in the list can still be purchased at Canadian SignCrafters Supply, and some from Sepp Leaf, without the need to order from numerous individual sources. Rick made it easy for us!
