The beer is bud ice, skyy vodka also has nice blue bottles. I've made beads with it, even blown small ornaments, but good luck with a pipe. Bottle glass is shocky, it might need to go in the kiln while its still glowing a tiny bit.Quote:

hah, nice, i'm not sure on blue beer bottles.. maybe a bawlz bottle? i doubt you'll have much of a problem with just smoking through it if it's annealed, awesome idea! =D
oh, bud light platinum..

ed: missed a few replies, lol =O
I've pushed a bowl and blown out a carb on a Mexican sprite bottle, and gave it away
i didn't punty or attach a blowtube, just warmed it up in the back of an annealing flame by hand
double post oops
here's one i was messing with last night. the horns are something a bit different i've been working on, and the piece is raked with momka's green flambe'.
i knew green flambe' is really sensitive to reduction (it's a really fast flame striker, sweet color) but i was kind of amazed when i got this damn near perfect flesh tone. lol..

Fresh out the kiln. A Hella UV mini tube. Illuminati everywhere. Hard to see in pics, but there are UV stringers between all the lines in the linework. All the mibs are UV also. It's a collab between me and my shopmate A-khan. He did the wig wags and a couple milli encasements, I did the rest.

^ may be my favorite rig by Dan.
Here is a quick..45 min speed cup... I was on "break" from working on a new bird.
Crucible dip, then puff and shape on the torch. 1.3# of illuminiti. Was less than even walls to start.
Holds 30oz... Inner outer straw
It was all about the speed, knowing I would keep it. Looks a little wonky, finger dimples came out just the right size, works well as the new water cup.Attachment 77965Attachment 77966

Sigh... Still can't set a strait pic from this windows phone. Its hit or miss . Apologies.
Here is a sneak peak of the new bird. Its just under 10" long. With tons of illuminati highlights /over lays. Attachment 77968

NICE!! i've been wanting to try a reef style compression/implosion marble for a while, and can never decide to do it on tube or rod.
Rod seems to work best for me. Keeps silver colours to a minimum. If you can do florals like you do, you should be able to pull these off as well.
thank you for the advice!
i've got a few optic molds too, so making the cane will be easy. going to have to give one of these a shot this week.
Tried a klien recycler.
