Some new stuff

No offense at all Crip. But I just don't even see the skull. I see an awesome old looking dude though with a mustache and big brow. I did not even realize it was supposed to be a skull, but a good old wizardy dude.

I know I know 1st try though, i got a long way to go, but i tried another today cracked a bit but got it back together..

Not bad g, I like the first one better tho.

Good job and I always check this thread when new posts are added cos you're a good bloke and a tryer, interesting to see how you've developed.

couple of crapers from last night = this heheh

I think this may be my best one so far.. couple of jacked reversals from a lil tube pull, and a few hours. but i was happy.

wow man, you just keep gettin better. i really like this one.

Thanks seamonkey,

and that sherly is already gone 40$ whatever took me a few hours but i knwo its not really worth that anyway so no complaints, filled my tanks.

heres some other things im trying to work on dont think i want to do more though, but this guy wants these bottoms with perfect neck size and im having trouble getting a perfect size. . there going to stick a aluminum piece with o-rings in it for a secret project.

Im sure i need a sizing tool and that would make life easy, but well see if he likes em i really dont want to get stuck doing 100 of these, but maybe if i can come up with a faster way..

nice effect on the blown-in Crip! I like the blue one best

thx G ya i fumed it a lil harder and with a lil gold too, i dont think i need to make the dents for bubbles as big as i have been , probably only need a lil scratch actually.

Nice looking work crip. I haven't checked in here lately, you've really been coming along.

Thx guys, broke 2 last night only 1 good one, 2 many beers...

hey crip when i do my blowins i dont even make any indentions. not dogging that way i just personally like the look of it better. when you dont leave indentions it just traps reall tiny air pockets and makes for some great lightning. anyways your stuff is looking great man.

Ahhh great didnt even try it that way yet, I figured i needed to make dimples to trap air that will save 5 min right there..

thx man

also how hot you have your point decides how well it sticks, ie, how many and how big your bubbles are. it takes some practice but easy once you get it.

Yea there is prolly like 20 different ways to do a blow in. That why I love the tech.

Try coiling jet black, fume the blank with gold, and roll the black in some amber purp powder. Then get it ripping hot in the front(this way you get some natural bubbles too)

Good job shaping on the blue one too.

Wow crip, you've got 18500 and something views on this thread.Makes me wonder whats the most ever viewed post on the forum?.

Been awhile since i've looked through this thread, your getting really good and seem to be progressing fast, good job man.

I love the idea of continually posting your pieces here, it'll be great to have a photographic record of your progress, especially in a couple years when the hard stuff your doing now is easy compared to what you'll be doing then.

Keep it up!!

Nice work Crip, was just wondering, is that the TAG apricot or NS amber/purple?

nice Cripster ! is the last one all i/o work? looks like some honeycombs in there as well

thx yall ya i like to see how much i sucked compared to how much i suck now, hehe its like a time machine.

And ya Jane that last one is NS amber purple and blue or green amber purp too,, and ya ISO no honeycomb just dots..

You are an incredible inspiration to me. Keep up the good work Crip. I just went through this whole entire thread. Amazing progress.

Thx Man

well i tried the solid rod reversal the other night and it cam out good xcept for the 1 spot i jacked it up, when merging the lense i taged a lil spot then pulled i was like Fook so i jsut stuck it together and ended up with the bubble that looks like a crack..

other than that i kinda liked it, and not too labor intensive..

Thx Guys again, more messin from last night, I dont know what i want to do tonight..

http://cripskillz.com/pics/gldg/4087.jpg

and some more from last night,, i think the wine stoppers will be good sellers..

http://cripskillz.com/pics/gldg/4091.jpg

Looking good crip. How do you do the @W@ on those marbs? I take it that its different than doing a rball.

I jsut learned it after seeing someone else here try it, forgot who , but the tut was on FredLights page and its cool not to hard, the tut helped alot first try came out great.

Hey Fred if you dont want this posted here just let me knwo.

http://www.fredrossidesign.com/page7.htm

Here are some others from last night, black blo in dosnt look that good till its under good flash, the marb is jacked too air traped inside not good, but it was a try at new tech for me..

http://cripskillz.com/pics/gldg/4094.jpg

Hey thanks Fred. And to you too crip. Looks pretty straight forward.

How do you clean up the ends of your blow ins after closing them up? I always end up with a messy looking bowl end. Looks kinda cool, but even would be nicer.

i think i have been doing my blo ins a bit diff than others,

I have a blank of 50x 2.5 on a punty no blo tube, then i poke 2 holes in the end by punty with my tungsten, to let the air out. then i blow it in and start melting it down, I get color right up to the edge of the blank and just rip the blo tube off from the blo in, and melt it down like a reg ISO and once i close the mouth piece down i hook a blo tube on and pull the punty end off, and it cleans up nicley..,

thats bout it..

nice man those blow-ins looked just like my first few keep at em

So lats night I thought i was makin a awesome reversal piece, It looked great in the flame, but now that its out of the kiln its like a ghost pattern can only see it a bit in the sun, the camera flash is all that makes it seen.. bummed,

and a pink coated with a lil disco then blew in, not to bad but i still get brown spots on my disco probably from over heating it..

anyways heres the pics

that reversal spoon is tight.

2nd that. Fuggin trippy.

Pink one looks too Phalic, but hey those rock cock (no pun intended)

Thx guys it could be penis but its for a girl anyway so perfect, I wish the reversal spoon was tight, you cant even see the lines without the camera flash that's why i was bummed on it.. just looks like a blue piece, no one will ever know how cool it actually is.

They will surely catch it in the right light and shit there pants it will make someone happy.

got some thickies lastnight, and too thick on the fume for sure..
