your reefs are gonna be corkers and your mushrooms are very nice. 4 1/2 months in? can't wait to see how it all develops, you're off to a running start.
I wish I'd had color to work with when I first started.

[nafglass]

I wish I'd had color to work with when I first started.

No kidding!

These look great for your firsts! Mine were not nearly so colorful! Great work!

[RamblezMarblez]

The shroomy pendent looks cool

[CheeseNip]

Thanks guys!

[naughty pirate wench]

[glassdocnc]

Nice start! Keep posting so we can see your progress!

[CheeseNip]

thanks alot for the compliments guys! sometimes when i get on here and see all the amazing work some of you can do, i get kinda critical of my own work. knowing that people like my work is what really keeps me going, next to my love of the glass! i will keep posting progress. i wont be able to work until later tonight, but i should have some new pics tommorow morning. im going to work on the flowers a little bit more and just see what else i can come up with.

[Swampy]

good work there, in my early stuff I always got the colours boiled up but you've done well with the whites and yellows, good job.

[ras_eel]

[CheeseNip]

[KahunaGlassArt]

nice spoon and the first pendant is dope!

[CheeseNip]

thanks. i really like the first pendant.. you cant see it in the pic, but when you hold it in the light just right, where all the leftover fume is it looks just like the earth back there.. i thought it was pretty neat..

[nafglass]

The fuming on that first one is awesome! So impressive for 4+ months! Keep it up!

[CheeseNip]

alright guys.. i tried some sherlock bends last night.. none of them came out that well.. first i had trouble with the bowls, and i am slowly working that out.. now its the mouthpieces. the fume loc has a crack in it where i accidentally tagged the bowl to the inner wall. the clear one is way crooked, and the frit one has just a bit of frit near the mouthpiece not melted in.. and now for the pics.. dont laugh to hard!

[CheeseNip]

Hey guys just a small update. coral, fillagree, and some mushys..

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03285.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03288.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03287.jpg

so check this out.. my girlfriend has pulled one stringer, and i got her to try a mushroom. i think its really good for a first thing ever done.. especially the loop.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03289.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03290.jpg

[CheeseNip]

i fixed this dicro marley pendant for a friend.. but i need your guys help.. is this an opal in the back of the pendant? i swear it is and my mom and girlfriend swear it is not.. they think it is dicro..

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03299.jpg

[Aymie]

looks like an opal to me...not dichro for sure

[CheeseNip]

thats what im thinking.. you can even see the edges of it where it was encased when looking in person, and def. looks like a stone in there.

[CheeseNip]

wanted to do a little update also.. thanks for all the comments so far guys!

i think this is the best coral ive ever done.. im keeping this one!

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03312.jpg

[Pogo]

third spoon from the right on the bottom (third from top) looks like an everyday smoker for me. likin' the blues. keep up the good work.

And tell your girlfriend GJ on the shroomie. Although it really doesn't take that much encouragement to keep rockin', does it?

[sertaiz]

agreed, that blue spoon is sick, nice case full there, sell those!
that green spoon on the top right corner is looking chubby, too

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys. i really like that piece too. did a few fume pieces tonight, but they are still in the kiln. ill post some pics of them tomorrow. my girlfrined will be happy you commented on the mushroom too!

[CripSkillz]

likin those pendants..

[CheeseNip]

thanks crip.. well i finally have decided to update again.. been doing alot of fume and clear lately.. kinda starting over on shaping of my pipes. i think the 10 or so ive made in the past few days have been a pretty good improvement. every piece i make i find it getting easier to get the shaping how i want it. still have a few problems sometimes, but ill get em worked out..

first a kinda neat fume fillagree i made today..
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03314.jpg

tried 44 mil for the first time today.. was a bit tricky.. kinda found myself wishing i had a mirage. phantom did ok, just took a while and i got some devit on the stem..

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03319.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03320.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03325.jpg

[CripSkillz]

iso lookin good melt them dots in more on the clear you will like it alot better..

[CheeseNip]

talking about the knobby pipe? i just left those out like that to create an optical illusion.. when i pushed the bowl it was way thicker than it looked so i got kinda funny shaped.. the dots make it almost unnoticable..

[voic]

very nice work man, pipes and pendants!

[The Lorax]

lookin nice!!

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys, i been kinda slacking on updates.. and on the torch.. i will probably go out and torch for a while tonight so ill get an update real soon.. maybe ill try somethin new tonight!

[dorkeedude]

Wow I like all the color combos you do! I also like your jars and the number 5 ring, well I like everything, but thoughs I expecially like!

[CheeseNip]

thanks alot! i really like the 5th ring also, my girlfriend decided to keep it because it fit her perfectly and its the nicest one ive made so far.. except maybe the first one which i broke whil putting in the kiln.. haha oops..

[KahunaGlassArt]

lookin good home slice.
try some bubblers ;)

[CheeseNip]

id like to! i wanna try a dry hammer or something before i throw in a downstem tho i think.. ive never put multiple sections together except the jar, but it didnt seem too hard.. ill try puttin a hammer and a side car together tomorrow and ill post pics when theyre done..

[dorkeedude]

well it sounds like your having fun! Keep it coming!

[Boxcutter]

keep it up man, lookin good.

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys. just did my first hammer and im excited now! it wasnt nearly as hard as i excpected. its not great but its not bad by any means for i first i think.. ill post pics in the morning. im gonna go do some more.

[CheeseNip]

got some pics from last nights work, so i figured id take a break and post em up!

Here is my first hammer ever. its a little funky but i did the can the opposite way that i wanted on accident..

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03474.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC03475.jpg

hammer # 2. much better i think.. until it cracked.. i let it get to cold while working the weld and got a wicked crack across the front of the can, all the way to the weld. got it worked out in the back half, but it separrated in the front of it, so i just cut it of the point and threw it in the kiln without even doing the bowl or anything.

[CheeseNip]

i havent had oxy for a bout a week and a half so i havent been able to work recently. got in the shop last night and heres what came of it.

biggest solid piece yet. almost 2 inches.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC04011.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC04013.jpg

Also tried my first stick stack last night. pulled down to about 12 mil. tube. need to make them a larger diameter but whatev. ill make bats and shit with it.

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC04014.jpg

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk181/mikeshep1/DSC04015.jpg

also did a few chillums but im not gonna bother posting them right now.

[ras_eel]

nice work thanks for sharing

[Sphereagram]

Very cool. :]

[CDot]

i know its been a while but next time a bubbler or pipe cracks, like the second bubbler with no bowl, just use some 3mil over the cracks and viola(will someone please spell check this for me) its fixed!! well not fixed but it will seal up. so after you melt it in and puff it again it should be fine. now you just need to know how to hide the repair...

[CheeseNip]

awesome man! thanks for the tip. ive also heard of teasing them together with a pick but never tried it.

[CheeseNip]

Hey guys havent updated in forever. i havent had a whole lot of time to work lately but the times i do i feel have been used pretty well. heres just a little bit of stuff.

i think im gonna keep this piece. i love the color of it.

here is my first functional bubbler. also my first 2 piece sherlock. i dont really think the mini bubbs work that well, but it was just practice anyway.

[GlassFreak]

lookin good man, those pendants are sweet and i like that ring.

[CheeseNip]

thanks man..

[GlassFreak]

i havnt even tried to make any rings yet. and what color did you use on those implosions?

[CheeseNip]

on the pendants or the ring? the top pendant is purple luster and the bottom is triple passion. the ring is cherry, lava, acid yellow, and i think the green is mother of green pearl i think. cant remember for sure. band is gypsy queen.

[GlassFreak]

sweet man thanks.

[CheeseNip]

yup.

[CheeseNip]

update.. i feel these past few days ive figured out alot about my shaping. seems to be drastically getting better and better every piece i make. i changed a few things about the way i work and it helped a ton. I'm getting to the point where the glass does what i want it to do and not what it wants to do. feels nice. heres a few spoons and my best sherlock yet. ha ha i say that every time..

nice ass spoons dude
for me, theyre a little too thick, but real nice colors and shpe

[GlassFreak]

those are some nice fuckin spoons man, great shape, and were im from the thicker the better as far as prodo goes.

[byron3]

Looks good, thick sells real well in our shop. Custy want something indestructible for their money........

[ALIEN!]

nice ass spoons dude
for me, theyre a little too thick, but real nice colors and shpe

I really needed that laugh.

[CheeseNip]

Thanks alot guys! im pretty proud of them myself! people around here also want something that is basically indestructible. in my area people tend to drop lots of pieces so i make em nice and thick, or they complain.

[CheeseNip]

some new stuff. best wigwag ive done so far. i havent done many at all or any on tube yet. im about to try a few on tube though and see what i can come up with. also my first attempt at a sidecar, and a few rings. the sidecar is still on the blowtube. sooo.. while i was working on it, it cracked where my cold seal was on it. i finished the weld and took the punty off afterwards. as i took the punty off it pulled a hole out of the side of the can.. it was thick too.. so when that happened it cracked out of each side of the hole, spiraling all the way up the bowl. i got them worked out, coverd the hole with clear and put it in the kiln. As it was heating up i made a marble to put over the clear spot, pulled it out attached marble and noticed another crack near the bowl. i worked that crack out and popped the carb. I was hurrying to get it back in the kiln and forgot to polish the carb hole. now this is where i need help. the crack is worked out, but there is still a mark there that seems like it would crack again easily while bringing into the flame. does anyone have any tips on doing this without cracking it? VERY SLOWLY im assuming, but anything else i should be aware of? i got pics of the mark in ? down a bit.. thanks..

[steak351]

the rings are cool

[CheeseNip]

thanks..

[TheGlassTree]

preheat the piece to 1150 in the kiln before going back to the flame with it...all crack repairs should be done after bringing up to 1150 it makes the glass way more stable to work with.. only work your crack for a minute or two before going back in the kiln for a few minutes to even out the temp...also you will want to melt in that marble attachment on the can more you are looking for the glass to flow together no acute angles, lots of stress in those angles.. Looking Good Dood! Keep on Torching!

[CheeseNip]

thanks alot man. i also noticed the marb attachment looked like shit. im kinda nervous about going back to that too! haha. i think i need to just man up and do it though! i guess if i fuck it up ill learn what not to do though..

[CheeseNip]

So yesterday i went up and saw the guy who taught me and got a few more tips on the sidecar. I came home and started to try and fix it up. all went great! i got the marble melted on alot better, redid the carb, and worked the stem to can weld a bit more and took it off the blowtube. went perfect. then i did a 2 piece sherlock. stacked 3 sections for the can, just to try it. i didnt really worry about how clean the linework was, just wanted to do it. got a pretty decent weld on the stem. then i took the broken hammer from a few pages back, the one with the hole in the front of the can, and tried to fix it. i put the blowtube on and the mouthpiece broke off. it was a clean break so i put it together and tried to fix it. went pretty well, its a little crooked now but its fixed so whatever. got it hot, worked out the cracks, filled the hole with clear, and stuck some big marbles over it to kinda hide it. then i went back to the weld, made it nice and smooth. getting the hang of them. pulled it off blowtube and kilned it. they all came out of the kiln just fine..

Fuck yeah man! Very nice hammers!!

[P-G-W]

The detail in the second to the last pic is some of the most kick-ass detail work I've seen. You must have an imagination like Stephen King!

[hippi]

that last bub is dope! is that gold fume? the air traps as sick to how you trap a lil bubble like that?

keep up the good work and keep the pix commin!

peace hippi

[LifeGlass]

Big ups bro. Nice work.

[CheeseNip]

Thanks all.
Hippi ,
its a dry piece and its just really heavy silver fume. the airtrap was done with an indent tool. you can also do them by poking little indents with your tungsten pick, dot the indents then implode.

[jr23]

Hard at it there Sweney. A good battle is always a learning exp and lesson with a side order of frustration.

Just recently I started doing drop hammers, one piece jobs.

Kinda fun you prob already have done them but you make a spoon shape with a huge head, Then paddle kinda flat turn on side and heat and drop bottom and puff shape your bowl push area.

In the time it took me to work my welds in a year ago I can make a drop one piece now.

just having fun and glad to be back on the forum nice to talk and have a good day

[CheeseNip]

thanks! ive actually been wondering how the drop hammers are done.. i mean, i kinda knew but not really. i feel i learned quite a bit from the day i fixed the side car and broken hammer. it really helped me with keeping big pieces warm, and adding marbles and shit.

[dankbudz]

Hey dude your shits lookin pretty sick... especially that hammer...nice work.

[CosmicGlider]

That hammer is sick!

[faded]

i like the air trap implosion mib.

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys. heres a couple new things. 2 2" paperweights made of scrap pipes. my second sidecar, and a few airtraps pendants i was messin with..

[P-G-W]

I like it all, but that effect your getting inside those pendants is just too cool. It looks like live coral to me.

[hippi]

cool dude! its crazy how much fume you get on there!!!...for the air traps do you poke all the holes first them fume or poke one then fume and so on?? seem like the pokes would close up when reheating to poke another hole..

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys,
hippi,

To do the air traps i get a gather hot, let it cool to kinda get a skin over the glass, then press it on the indent tool. then just add dots of color and implode. i guess you would technically(sp.) call it a compression because i do them on rod, but whatever. if you dont have an indent tool, just be real careful to keep heat off of the indents you already made with your tungsten pick. Then you can fume it and dot with clear or color, or just dot with color and implode.

[CheeseNip]

Very nice iso! I would suggest with the can on the hammer, condesnse the middle of it a lil thinner. It'll give it better contour and lengthen the can. Very nice fume also!

[Tylerdurdin]

Lovin the hammers man, really good consistancy.

[CheeseNip]

thank you guys. ive been starting to try to make pieces more consistant and it seems to be working.

cool stuff man...ISO dont like me right now.. the lines either get messed up or when i got to strech a lil it gets to thin...try try try again lol

peace hippi

[CheeseNip]

yeah probably the hardest part of making pipes for me was keeping them thick as i pulled the stem. thanks guys

[mouseclone]

cool stuff man...ISO dont like me right now.. the lines either get messed up or when i got to strech a lil it gets to thin...try try try again lol

peace hippi

Try heating a lot of the neck at a time and pull really slowly, just don't heat til the point it droops. It is the way I keep mine a little thick and also the way I keep my tube pulls good and thick as well.

I'm still really new, but maybe it will help.

On topic: @RustyShackleford damn nice. I"m loving the spoon.

[quincy]

[GlassFreak]

yea im getting some of that frit next time i order

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys. heres some new pendants and a side car i made for a friend. the little funky spot on the can is because i tried to blow the carb right there forever and it was too thick to pop it, so i just put it on the stem. still works ok.

[KahunaGlassArt]

liking the implosions on your second to last post

[CheeseNip]

thanks guys.

[ras_eel]

nice work keepit up thanks for posting

[steak351]

can you explain the term blow in to me?

kind regards

[CheeseNip]

sure. to do a blow in take a piece of clear tube, flare it out a little bit. then either take a piece of cobalt tube or coil some color on the end of a blow tube, get it really hot, making sure to keep your clear cup hot too. stuff the color into the clear cup and blow into it to color the inside of the tube. hope that helps, Im not very good at explaining things through typing.

[mwc]

A lotta nice work Rusty, really diggin those fume implosions. :)

Not to hijack, but steak, here's a good blow in tutorial with pics dbDom did http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18091&highlight=BLOW-IN+TUTORIAL

[ALIEN!]

blow in (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmScmdCNG1k)

[steak351]

ok thank you very much i get the idea but do you do it cause its faster then encasing with clear(striping down, coilpotting) or do you get a special effect

i laso think its hard not to touch the sides of the flared clear

i think i ll try it

thank you very much

kind regards frank

[CheeseNip]

yeah it takes some practice to not touch the clear, but you'll get it after a few tries. you can get some really cool effects with blow ins. you can fume then trap some small air bubbles when you do the blow in and you get a really cool effect. thanks guys. i was gonna find that blow in tut by dom and i forgot.

[ivebeenshotafied]

i like that first pendent a lot.

and if i can ask..what are you using to pour frit inside your piece? everything i find is either to big to small.

[CheeseNip]

thanks. to pour your frit, take a piece of 9.5 tube, blow a bubble on the end and pop a big hole in the side of it to make kinda a spoon, but deeper. they look alot like those "oil burners" that tweakers use but with a bigger hole. they work well though.

Cool ISO stuff! Some nice fuming in there. Nice pendants also.
What color was that purple one with the horn you just posted? Amber purple blow in? I like it!

[CheeseNip]

thanks! that blow in was silver creek. its a pretty fun color to play with. i like tan silver creek better though. i wish i had pics of all the stuff i did with it.

[B-Rye-oNeR]

[CheeseNip]
