Damn its been a min Here is stuff from couple days I worked last week. All I did was jewelry.
fucken A man. I wish I could get that much torch time. A couple days to me give me about 6 pieces. That reminds me, I need to get back down on the torch for at least another hour or so. Great work.
that's a boat load of pendants. there are enough there to see a serious progression in skill - nice work
Nice work! I really like how the heads of the turtles are loops! Good thinkin!!
yea thats a grip..haha a frolf basket. you got some cool stuff
Thanks Everyone. Love to hear the compliments! I totally sugest tryin the color twists inside clear, just make as big paddles of clear like three inches is what I do but then you can lay down two or three lines of color on one and trap color inside with other, work it till real hot twist and pull out into a large cane and work your pendants off that cane- put it in kiln between- but I can make like 10- 12 of these an hour thats making two canes and all the pendents . I seen this tip on here I think, it works great!!! havin girlfriend wrap em up I hope they sell :)

You are doing incredibly well for such a short time behind the torch. It really shows how driven you are to be a glassworker, and will most likely pay off for you in the future. Keep doing what you are doing, and my advice would be to offer up your services as a volunteer for different studios and class settings and you will gain a ton of knowledge. I think many people will have open studios for you based on your drive and your positivity.
Thank you so much Sometime79 you really made me smile !! And thanks to everyone else as well the compliments are always great and needed. OK so festy went Awesome, you gotta love working and having fun at the same time! U seen the before pic of my case and included and after as well :) Also got some pics of the new stuff I tried finally. Fumed wit gold finally, tried a weld after I had a section Of blue crack in half, just welded a spare piece of green to it, been doin some diff things wit my dots in my spiral using clear, tried a multi color w/r, tried encasing color lines I drew on outside of tube and then wig wagging and shaping into spoon, it ended up way thick and I poped hole to far foward :( and trapt a few air bubbles. and then few more pics of new fav pipe.
cont......
Is that a box jellyfish pendant?
Josh
Never mind It's a disc golf hole, lmao. I still say though it almost looks like a box jellyfish.....
Lol
Nice work Turtle. I need to get up to speed. What are you running on? (torch)
I got a CC an I love It! I really want footpedals soon though! I also got a mega minor that I use for jewelry and sculpting . I dont have much basis of comparison torch wise though. I would love to play with a GTT someday and see how those work. Im taking a class in couple weeks at flametree and from the pics online that Ive seen it looks like they may have GTT torches. Guess Ill have to wait and see though.
do you live around flametree? or metro ATL? would love to meet up sometime.
no, i live in Central IL actually. BUT I will be there for a class May 1-2 . Classes only 10-5 and I know noone in the area, so would love to hang out if your gunna be around.
you driving down to Flametree? we're 6 hours south on the gulf but if you find your way down here to FL I'll give you a couple days worth of free lessons because I see how motivated you are, I have been reading your thread here and said to myself,..."dang he's doin way better than I did in my first few months" and then I thought,...I'd like to hook this cat up and show him some tricks, then I got to the end here and realized your gonna be really close to here in a couple of weeks.
I can make really bad ass turtles, I havent made one in probably 2 years but I'll make one just for you and post pics. You really should try to come down for a couple days if you can I know it's kinda far but it would be worth it. Our shops not Flametree or anything but we got a bunch of GTTs and a lathe and all that.
you can see an example of where we are as lampworkers @

Now I didn't make those my partner did but I'm not very far behind, and I do great sculptural work and jewelry too. you can see the first couple sherlocks I just made @ http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32103
I just like to see new glassblowers with that hunger, your doing great, and I'm sure your lessons in ATL will not be a waste of time, they're great people and they have some great artists up there, pay attention, take pics, don't sleepp in class.
dammm doode thata a bust asss week i dont think i have done that much in month heeheh ,, look good tho deff remindin me tha old day ../ not tio long ago heehe
production crap aside, I pretty much only make one or two pieces a day anymore
Thanks El Puck and Crip! Yall Put a big as smile on my face. Glad to see others can tell how hard Im working at this cuz Ive never worked this hard at anything in my life. I really really really want to do this full time eventually as well As make sick ass ART for the rest of my life.
I have been a full-time "professional" glassblower for a while like 3 years maybe
it's probably alot harder than just having a job, but it's so much more satisfying,...well provided your makin money. It's great when it's good, and when it's bad it's BAD, but most crap in life is
so TRUE! I really wanna see your turtles and wanna learn sculpture alot as well. Im pretty much have to take you up on the offer I think, Ill be in touch!
Finally got some new stuff for yall! Spent some time away from torch reading, taking things in , daydreaming and planning. It worked well I think! made a stemless, only took three trys, lol. Think maybe clear and colored tubing dont mix or maybe third times a charm. Also finally got a inside out piece finished, Its wanky, oh well, just happy it didnt crack like always. then wated to do some marias and work on welds more so made a shirlock. Thanks so so so much glassfreak for helpin me out wit great info :) the stemless is sundawgee inspired as well as glassfreak , much props. Ive picked up alot from everyone on here though so thank you all :)
man thats impressive
nice man, im likin the way you built that stemless, it can lay back like that and still hold all the water. looks nice and clean too man.
comin along very nicely indeed!
oh just wait you guys got suprises comin up,....
Chop Chop,.... I expect to see some goods up here soon...
you got visual reference, plan ahead/be prepared i.e. dux in a row, take your time.
I'm probably the most excited of all.
LOL, no pressure or nothin, haha. In due time, good sir. Gota make that $ first. taking a week off to go to ATL and come hang out with yall cost me, but will pay off in long run. Thanks again brother!!
It's cool I'm just messin I know you'll be hard at it. I'm about to be workin crazy to pay off my new torch, should be here monday-ish. I decided to forgo the Mirage in favor of a 40mm herbie for the time being. I've never worked on one so I'm looking forward to the experience.
oh and dooood, cornmeal is playing here this weekend so I thought about you and I'm go check that out
