I will make some more one of a kind bubblers. I have 2 shops that are interested and a distributor. So I could make another bunch for now.
Bernie Sanders is coming to town tomorrow. I am going to see him at 4:00 pm in my little city. I just filled out the rsvp.
I don't think I will make anything more expensive then $75.... that is about $150-$200 retail price.
They are hard to make so I will make a few spoons and maybe a production bubbler to build my confidence first.
Nothing like working 3 hours on something to hear crack.... so it take a lot of focus.
Ok I made a Sherlock bubbler with dichro cobalt and illuminati cane reversals on both mouthpiece and can. It is done with colored tubing incomo and the base is extra large and wrap and rake illuminati over cobalt tube. Pics to come!

Took me since noon to 3 to make one and that does not include marbles and bridges.
Safe in the kiln.

The illuminati looks best with encased cane. It works when raked with clear a little but not as bright as the inside-out.
I peeked in the kiln it is at 300 now.

I lost a chunk of kiln brick in that pic. It just came out. I guess it is still ok though. It is only a year and a half old.

Can't you just fix that sort of thing with the fire brick mortar they sell at the hardware store for fireplace repair?Quote:

Maybe tomorrow I will take less pictures and do something that has encased illuminati for the wrap and rake. I think it will come out better.
I have some green tubing also I can use. I have amber but it is really hard to use. So I will skip that one I think.
Yeah I will make a green sherlock bubbler.
Then I have to split early. I have 2 tickets to see Bernie Sanders speak. Michael Stipe is MC. It sold out today.
camera phone worked better then my slr....Measures 8 inches tall.

you should do one where all of your line work is UV. I like this last bub alot though,
I will but probably not today. I have to leave early to go to the Bernie Sanders rally.
These spoons are money bro!

I am not sure the shops have a black light in the case. I am working on it now. If they have a black light it would be cool.
I might have to make a spoon? With a wag on the end. They sell better then the bubblers.
But I have sold a lot of them. Just only a couple at a time.

Trump is coming to the area next. A riot broke out at the Albany rally. I am afraid trump will start a war to begin with.

Buy a one of a kind sherlock bubbler and 10% of the profits go to Bernie Sanders campaign for president 2016.
I have 2 in stock right now. Both are black light sensitive. $150 each.

I should get more of that rainbow dichro color too.
I have been using scrap dichro since. I pick out different colors but it is a pile of assorted color now when you get scrap.

I got leftover green tube to make another bubb with. I have 20 more Amber/red ones to make first.

I don't waist any colored tube. I use the small pieces for encomo's.
Probably have enough cane done already. Dichro cobalt and illuminati with green encomo's and a wrap and rake base ? Or maybe a multi-rich base?

I have been getting a lot of interest in me teaching. I only have 1 torch and enough space for 1 right now.

I preheat the Amber points in the kiln. Takes extra time with that color.

Trying to sell glass today. I am broke and I owe my rent. I think I will try some payment buttons from shopify later on Facebook and a website update.
Anyone want any glass?
I am waiting for calls back and people who owe me to pay. I want to see the Jerry Garcia band project tomorrow night. I am willing to make a deal.

The all color spoons I am saving for someone though. I am giving him time to get back to me before I sell them.

I am updating my website, http://www.4GlassArtJewelry.com
I have started an Art Glass Pipe section. I have a couple pieces up with buy now buttons that should work.
I am still brain storming the design idea. So it is a work in progress. I have a lot of work to do to finish the site the way it should be done.
Maybe work on the navigation a little also?
I have to admit there are things I don't like to do like honey combs, dot stacking, coil pot, and vac stacking.... mostly because I hate how it looks or it is a newbie thing or it is just not as functional.... I could get into the details. But they are techs that I do not do.
My old apprentice actually does some of them. She does easy stuff though. She can't blow anything I taught her that was my technique anymore. She has to practice pulling points still to blow anything. I think that solid worked pendants suck anyways. I only make them blown from a tube.
But anyone can start a little trend and make a little money. But she bailed too soon to learn anything good. I say stay for 2 years and work... she had a good 6 months with me and 1 month with Tony and me. So her skills are limited.
But she does have her own studio and work a lot now. I give her that.
so it is for rent, or a concert?Quote:
