GA snow white....how I despise thee. I swear this color boils just sensing a torch is in the room:bangHead: But gave it another try, of course boiled it no end, decided to curb my frustration by having some fun making an infected mushroom for the bench.

Mouth peice is wonky as shit, never made a hollow disc before
Phantom. For a spoon, I prob start with ~5"
Been a while, so wanted one last update for the year. Back east for the holidays so haven't been on the torch for a couple weeks now. Starting to jonze significantly....
I always like seeing shop pics so figured I post my own. Tight working quarters but happy with how I made it work. Likely moving in the new year...hopefully will get some more space.

Made a little vase and hummingbird feeder for my mom. Need to reshape the feeder because the adapter I have doesnt fit properly.

Made an urn for my girlfriend, who tragically lost her sister earlier this year. It doesnt do any justice but figure it's at least something until I have some better skills.

I need both hands to list the problems on this piece, but still stoked on it. Certainly opened my eyes on how tricky linework is to the uneducated. Knowing where to pop holes, keeping away the clear gaps, lining up....lines. Humbled!
Anyway...thanks for looking, and happy new year everyone:party:
This progression thread is awesome!! As a newbie this inspires me to challenge myself and nail fundamentals. keep up the great work!
Buddy wanted a "gandolf pipe with mushroom feet". I told him it would have to be clear due to the size and it not actually fitting in my kiln. Pretty basic but it does feel lovely in hand and he was stoked, so call it a win.
