Lowtide 2011 Work

[LowTideGlass]

Hey all,

I have since moved to Maine, and figured I should start a new work thread.

Here are some of my most recent works.

Still finishing the setup here, but I am fully functional. Now I just need to really focus and get to work!!

First up is a vase of sorts that is a sleeved fumed / etched Native American themed vase with an arrowhead stopper. This was my first time trying to etch fume. It came out really nice, but I wish I had let the etching creme sit a bit longer to make more of a contrast between the stencil and backround.

Those feet look really clean, nice work. Diggin the wrap

[hwcglass]

What a show!!!

Great work and wonderful progress.

I like the arrow head stopper best. Good concept and I hope you make another.

. . . . you could use those stings in electro forming very easily . . . .

[RedToroBoro]

"Within Reach" Love the name love the piece.

[LowTideGlass]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Ya I was really happy with the arrowhead concept. I am going to try and use incorporate the arrowhead / wrapping with some pipework.

We shall see...

[s3xt0y]

Where in maine are you at?

[p.j.]

the indian themed vessel is really nice dude, the hemp is a nice touch

[LowTideGlass]

I'm like 25 minutes outside Portland in Windham, right by Sebago Lake.

[LowTideGlass]

A few new arrow head themed pieces.

Pretty happy them, minus the fact that the spoon has a hairline crack through like the entire piece. fuck! anyways I'm guessing that is what I get for using china black. ugh.
