One week In, 12th Spoon

Hey so this will be my first posted piece, as its the first one Im proud of, well, thats probably not true, proud of all of them because I learned something on each one. They say make 100 Clear spoons right? I don't know, I like to just hit the ground and learn some stuff and figure it out as you go, I mean I made some clear ones too....So this is the 12th Pipe I've made, and the one with the best bowl push Honestly. I have really been struggling with that part. Anyhow, that for another day, Just thought I would introduce myself again, and share something. Chinese Cobalt Tubing, 25x4. Silver fume using a concentrator which I hear sometimes doesn't produce great results? A Revere video I watched had a question regarding larger pieces of silver looking like stars. So I fumed, and also rolled it in some silver filings...I Like it, Its very thick, which I think is over compensation from the earlier bowl push issues i was having, looking for a happy medium. I stopped widening the carb when I realized it was taking my fume away, but I like the look it produced. Should have melted in the dots further, but tossed it in the kiln anyway. Looking forward to the next one. Comments and Critiques welcome

bro. GREAT WORK. i would buy that pipe! keep it up and congrats.

Nice dude! I'm 1 spoon in, I doubt I will be anywhere near that by 12. But you give me hope. It's crazy how much you can learn by messing something up. Keep it up!

Super nice, if that's your 12th you will be bored with spoons and move past them quick.
