Cool! I would use more clear between lines on the reversal.

Attachment 80523Attachment 80524Just got today’s rake and wag experiments out of the kiln. Pretty cool, but I think I am going to try it with an opaque color next.Attachment 80522
Herperdude, are you doing a wrap n rake, pulling it down and wagging it?

Exactly. Trying different things like how tight I do the wrap, or doing odd spaced rakes and then a tight group, you know. Probably try it out feathered too.Quote:

I would love to find a good tutorial on how to do dot boxing. I love the style but havn't been able to figure it out.
seek and ye shall find, I know i have seen it spelled out here before, just a heads up.
Dot boxing is as simple as making a checker board pattern of one color dot and putting another color dot in between all you placed already. When they melt in, the round dots make squares as they butt heads for space

If you are doing a fumed dot box or one with color and clear dots there is a particular way I like to do them to produce the clean 3d diamonds. I lay a set of dots around the tube trying to keep the as close together as possible, then the following row and the ones after I lay in line down the tube always keeping them close. Once you have your colored dots or fumed laid in lines down the tube now for the clear and this is what I find to be important for making a clean dot box. You want your clear dots to touch all 4 of the color dots when you place them, but do not let one clear dot touch any other. That is the key for me. Hope that makes sense. If I remember next time I do one Ill snap pics and post a tutorial.
Take care!
Tried some doodling. I kinda suck at it.

Thats water up by the weld. Not a super sloppy weld.
The doodle is totally cute!
Thanks for the quick response guys I'm gonna try the dot box tomorrow for sure!

Action shot... Still no idea if the glass survived.
Pretty sure I'm all good? Will know in a few mins.
I erased, saved, changed, cropped, saved, locked my screw orientation as a last ditch effort, never moved my phone from the upright position. I dont get it. On a I phone it was predictable . This phone is totally random. I need to try taking picks with the screen locked upright? Eh..... Perhaps next time?

Even if I click it, I get a new window, with a full size sideway image.
On my phone saved its upright. If I text it, its upright, facebook messenger its upright.
I'm stumped. At least Brads saw it upright.... Photos are never as impressive when sideways.
Not the sexiest things ever but these went together so smoothly I felt I should post them. They would like that.
