smolder holder's curio collection

Nice work bro. Dope honeycomb window. I'm subscribed. Keep it comin.

My first nice piece after the DFO. Kinda extra terrestrial looking. D. Amythist tube and sublime. It was great to meet so many folks at the DFO.

Thanks for lookin

Good work bro, the first pic kinda had a mermaid body look to it at first glance. Could just be me though.

Exp green over white, D amythist tube.

Thanks for lookin

:drool::drool::drool:

Nice sherly Bois! Always digging the Exp Green over white combo. Keep it burning brother :)

very sweet now i want my exp even more lmao :)

This piece represents a bunch of firsts for me. First time using donuts on a piece, first tube, first time putting a female gog on a piece. Stands about 15" tall.

Thanks to nate dizz for the inspiration for this one

Thanks for lookin

Get your Swiss perc on Bois :) Did you go to the event after the DFO at Dizz's shop?

thanks indie! No I didn't make it to that event. Wish I could have.

There is a bunch of stuff I'll do differently next time I attempt one of these, trying to make more symetrical holes for one and an even foot, better welds, etc. but it was hella fun and I learned a lot in the process.

Exp green sidecar and a bowl for a friend

EXP. GREEN NUMBER 5 PWNAGE! Nice job Bois! I totally wanna throw down on a collab sometime with you!

Oh and I dig the softglass style errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl dish

Thanks man! Yeah indie I'm totally up for a colab sometime.

Thanks everyone who has been posting in here. Tried to rep but I've gotta spread some more around first.

Hopefully try to push some more boundries this week and have something worth posting up for all to see.

That swiss perc was a b-day present for a friend. And I just wanted to see if I could pull it off.Not tryin to be a biter :)

About seven years ago or so I ordered a custom piece for my brothers birthday from a friend who got into glassblowing (this was before i'd ever seen a torch).

He sent a kickass piece with a triple donut section. I have been totally fascinated with the triple donut tech since then.

So here is my first three attempts at this tech.

Thanks for lookin

New stuff, messing around with shaping.

Thanks for lookin

You ever try coiling a color onto your seal blo-outs, I like to add a little color on each piece before I connect sometimes, especially on hollow horns. Another good tip with horns is use gravity as much as possible, just have a pundty in hand incase you need to guide it.
Looks like there's some great potential with these, exp green w AP look nice.

Yup gravity is one of the best tools. I use it at every opportunity. I've been concentrating on getting a really good and even heatbase for the hollow and solid bends. That, imo is the most important part. Still working on it obviously.

Thanks for the feedback beerye.

Looks good bois.....keep at mang.

some sweet stuff.... i been wantin to do some swirly stuff like that myself. but i haven't had anything work out on my attempts so far

Oxy bypass hooked up and pressure tested!

Now that's progress!

Love your work man. I just browsed through your entire thread over again and it's really inspirational; some beautiful art.
Also, although they were other individual's questions I really appreciate that you took the time to answer. I cant wait to get some more torch time and try some of that out.

Really love that exp green (especially the effect on the first shirly you posted back in April), I'm gonna have to get some and play around with it. Is that all exp green or is there some mix?

Thanks man I appreciate the comments.

Most if not all of my experimental green stuff is layered over white then sleeved into clear and pulled down. Hope that helps.

What up Bois :)

So I could easily add oxy bypass to my rock-it , if I was inclined to...? Probably shoulda just got the one w oxy bypass,,... but u kno.

Yeah it's pretty simple, right around $25 for everything (I didn't have an account with the place I had to get the brass T's from) so they were a little more spendy than I would have liked.

Edit: a whole lot less spendy than the Y's the welding store tried to sell me though.

First reversal milli attempt. It got wonky during the pulldown. I tried to go too big on my first attempt I think. I still have a bunch of the prep I did for it so I'll try again on Friday when I get some more oxy.

sweeet!

Getting closer to what I want. I think I'm gonna use cobalt at the ends when I punty up to the next one the clear just streches out and distorts my milli.

Any pointers from folks that make these?

keep tryin dude. the second pic looks already better the third would probly be what you want.

lookin good tho, i really dig the reversal millies.

make a bigger maria on the end of the punty. my punty is 8mm , but the maria on the end is made out of 4 + inches of 20 mm , and i put a counter wiehgt on the other end to make it easier to spin.

basically you want the maria's at the end of your punty /puller bigger and thicker than your disc you're gonna pull out.

Oh excuse me. I didn't see you there... I just came here for the sickness :P

Thanks berning I'll try that out.

Indie, wish you were closer i'd be fun as hell to get to work with ya! If your ever in my neck of the woods give a holler.

Trust me brother, I am working on a plan to get out to the west coast as we speak :)

Just a custom that got ordered. Matching milli and opal.

Here is two recent mibs I did. The white one bubbled up so bad that it looks almost distorted and the other one was supposed to be exp. Green #5 for the retti but I accidentally used jet black. on a good note I figured out how to effectivly fume gold on the gtt.

Awwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeaaaahh! Dot boxxing like a mofo son!

Accidentally spilled acid on my protective clothing today in the lab where i work. I had to be cut out of it and rushed to a rinse and flush station. Exciting day.

More glass pics to come soon :)

Sounds gnarly, glad you're okay!

Some new things.

First time playing with AT, i've had some laying around since the DFO.
