Thank you. The two pictures are of the same mib just different points of view. The other end was a small gather about 6-7mm. The whole thing is only 4.5 inches long.Quote:

I had tried a couple before but failed, but seeing the one on your thread made me want to try more. This is what I came up with after a few attempts. Thanks for the Inspiration Jonny.

The picture is pretty dark but I have been messing around with poking the leaves and petals with a tungsten. Many thanks to Coyote for helping me out with the flower mibs, they've become one of my favorite things to make Attachment 42700
Wow man that thing came out looking nice! It was definitely fun to try a few different things out, love the diffuser on the downstem! Definitely makes me want to try a few more, break the monotony of the clear spoons :twitch: lolQuote:

Yeah these videos helped me out with a lot of my questions(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih60DlrHELU https://vimeo.com/623750) along with a little web chat session me and Coyote had where he showed me him finishing a a flower pendant and gave me some very helpful tips. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you got any questions I'd love to help.
Nice work dood! Im glad to see you are working on some seals. Your stuff is looking good! Keep truckin along!
Thanks a lot man! I've been really wanting to make color spoons and whatnot too after making so many prodo pipes, patience is a virtue after all though right? haha oh and sorry for all the disorganized replys ^^Quote:

Sweet vid man, its been years since I've skated but not too long for me to forget how hard that is! 5050 respect rep!
Sick 50-50 dude I skate myself and would love to come across that rail looks like the alleys I used to skate back when I lived in California.
Yeah man thanks, didn't know this rail even existed until that day, pumped too because there are hardly any good ones in town.
Thanks a lot! Wheel bite almost screwed me over a couple times, and that's never fun off a curb haha
And you will still have the days when you turn off the torch and refect on your work......this is the best thing that helped me......http://www.talkglass.com/forum/search.php?do=process
Cool man thanks for sharing, definitely helps me to progress when I look back on things I've made and figure out what I can do better next time.Quote:

I've found in a few cases if I push the hole off center while pushing the bowl, if I heat up around the bowl till it just starts to glow I can use a small graphite poke an nudge it over to recenter the hole. Just try to avoid heating the hole itself too hot or you might stretch it or mess it up while doing this.
Hell yeah dude I'm gonna try that next time I screw up on a hole, thanks!Quote:
