"el hefe" glass: picture thread

[Hefe]

ive been meaning to post some pics here, this is what I have been doing this year so far...
I have tons of gong orders, so i havent even made a pipe yet this year...only slides..
but i get to put alot of work into some of them, so its still very enjoyable.


ill post new stuff in this thread as I make it...thanks for looking!
:bouncy::blowkiss:

[garrick]

nice stuff, i love the layered reversals

[Sea Monkey]

thats some great looking stuff, i like them all.

[petto]

Nice pcs. I made a friend a GOG bowl and he wants a matching stem. So the bowl was a 14mm so for the stem do I top it with a 14mm female? Thanks and again those look great.

[jeves311]

nice work man keep tearing it up

[EarthTones]

WOW! those are some tricked out little sliders.

[Swampy]

You work very well there, good skills.

[slow moe]

nice work!! i like the top one w/ the window reversals. what do you call that technique?

[Doc Holliday]

its double blown! hahahaha

[Hefe]

i dunno what the tech is called, i call em windows..

fade to clear reversal with anotther blown into it....DONT GET BUBBLES!

jonas , for the 14mm slides i make, i normally include a bushing diffuser, which is made to fit a 18mm tube, with a 14mm slide.

[PyroChixRock]

its double blown! hahahaha

Dude, whatever...you're so full of it...





















It's gotta be AT LEAST triple blown, if not quad. :dieslaugh


Hey Remy, nice stuff. Good to see you back in the game. :blowkiss:

[CripSkillz]

WOW that is some of the coolest stuff ive seen, thoes are super awsome i love the window stuff that must take some serious time ehh?/ Sweeet

[lucidvisions]

Nice work, I love that technique. I stumped a few of my shopmates with a very similar technique three or four years back. You definitly do the trick justice, I'd like to know how far you've been able to experiment with it. There are a ton of applications to that style. One of my favorites is to choose two colors (acid yellow and chocolate for example) and coat the outside of a tube half and half running down the length unencased and spin it all in one direction tightly and reverse it, then drop that one inside of an inside out flare that has alternating lines of acid yellow and chocolate (with plenty of clear left between every line) that has been wig wagged and reversed. When done properly you get a reversal where your yellow line turns brown and then back to yellow at every turn of your reversal and vise versa with your brown lines while the background is having the same effect going the other way. The true trick with it is that if you can pull off the inside out flare slash reversal without letting the pattern get melted up and into the glass it will have no break with the pattern underneath it and will fool the eye into thinking that it was one piece and pattern once they melt together. Anyways I really like your work and wish you the best of luck on the torch although it doesn't look like you need it.

if It's not too personal ....how much are you able to get for a piece like this ?

[CripSkillz]

bad assss

[Hefe]

a nice slide set, pulled some draconis tubing yesterday, the rods were the size of stringers, so i had to do a bunch of layers...not too bad though.
thanks to a fellow artist for offering his stash of draconis.. I will be using the colors more in the future...
this slide has the light blue and dark blue satins across from black and white satin stripes, with a green border.
ill be making bigger stuff with it soon, just had to test it with some prodo..

[mer]

dude, you're killin it. move out west, for reals. i'm super impressed with your work.

[ALIEN!]

WHOA WHOA WHOA, whats that pearly color and where do I get some???? Sick slides bro!

[Lurch]

your work is nice man

[Clear_dome]

f$ck man you make some crazy slide dude ....now that I work glass I can see how skill/work your piece need .....I look me ''Hefe'' piece every day and man ...I have a lot of thing to learn LOLL a huge lot :eeek also realy nice mix of color ....wow

[CripSkillz]

that color is sick as are the pieces, what is draconis, and what are the blue colors you got there super sweet...

[Hefe]

draconis is a old EXTINCT color company.

abe bought the recipes from the company for these "satins"...which include the white, and blues that I used in this piece. the white looks like crushed pearl and the blue is very satiny.
good luck finding these colors around, they have been gone since 06 or so..
thanks to another artist to offer me a little to rock out in my work.

I LOVE IT!

[CripSkillz]

Ya the satin look is super dope, someone should make more of that..

[Dom]

Man Hef, your stuff is so sick. You really skyrocketed since you got back in the game.

Colors are so sick, I hope northstar starts making this stuff again.

[Buckeye]

Nice Remy, your stuff is soooo clean.

[RiCkErT]

[EarthTones]

Super tight & stylin' as always:chilling:

[Hefe]

a few simple reversal slides...but i love these colors..the green one has some of the tag slyme..or blizzard or whatever its called.

[shark bait]

Very impressive

[Lurch]

badass hefe badass

[The Lorax]

sweet layers

[Meta Glass]

that bub is sick

is that some fro influence in the stem?

[Hefe]

i guess if its possible there is any fro influence left after the last 6 or so years..

my learning from fro consisted of 4 days of watching him blow glass at his place in VT many many years ago.
my style, shaping, linework, and everything else has evolved since then, but im sure there are some basic fro-ish features in my work that will always be there.

thanks for the kind comments everyone..i love this one alot. i really would like to keep it.
its gonna be a great functioning piece too

[petto]

Very nice work, tight and clean. Love that can.

[CripSkillz]

I've wanted to make bullets for a while now (bulletproof glass) but havnt tried hard enough yet. I had a couple alright ones. Great way to execute it. Bullet onies was my plan too. There's always shotgun shells.
