So far its been super fun! i was asked to post some pictures of my stuff i have made somewhere by someone here, so here seemed appropriate. i bin waitin' for a brand new phantom :rolleyes: so i got a lynx to tide me over :)
made a buncha marbles and a few vessels of various sorts. some oil dishes... ill post pics from first stuff to newest stuff (duh). started torchin' this month.
then later....
try a few days of working just clear.... It minimizes complications. also lessons from a seasoned pro like craig/shockwave, would help a lot!
Those looks great for your first pieces! good move on getting the lynx instead of waiting even longer to begin melting. I'm impressed with how well it looks like you are working the bright colors, like red, yellow. Marbles look really round. Keep it up! Are you working with your sister or just learning on your own? I look forward to seeing how you progress over the months/years :) Is that the china white you used in the black/white marble? good job on not overdoing it with the silver fume. You should be proud of those creations!
some bigger mibs n' stuff. double sided ones.. dishes getting better finally here. couple 3 days ago or so. last week.

nice man you should be doing fine with your sis to help out and all the info around here. sure must feel nice filling up those few few dishes! :)
and finally in that last couple days. starting to get nice hey? i know the goblet is an abomination, but i like it, so take off! how do i flare a flat base without jacks? sob, lol. i cant flare a foot to save my life yet.
ya i use a dish once only lately :DQuote:

weeeeeeeeeeee ,, just blow a nice bubble bout half the size you want your foot then open the end heat her up and spin it out ,, use your bowl push if ya needs to help move it..
yes, and Steve Sizelove's vid is a great help, watch it enough times and practice inbetweens and it will just happen naturally by itself.
Spin out your rondelle with a 6mm punty rod and the effect of it's own weight will flip it out.
I think it was BZ Glass that put up a good vid on youtube during the past couple of weeks.
Got any pics of your Sis on the torch?
one of those easier for you to say it than for me to do it things. i know the theory, but in practice... well i need more practice :)Quote:

nice stuff man , not that mediocre for sure ;) dont underestimate the lynx , I made almost all my last piece with it (7-8 inches inline bub,marbles,pendants ect ) there's a bunch of heat inside ...and +1 for the Sizelove dvd !! that's a must
m9-b is pretty bangin
lets do a trade
I second swampys last line..
Dishes are looking sweet man!
i might be able to dig up an old picture of her torchin'Quote:

m9 and m9-b are two sides of the same one. honeycomb on one side with mys advent, and a mushed white retti on the other side.Quote:

part off so you are left with a 40mm long piece of the tube on your punty.
pick out the tube end so you can open it up.
with the right heat and spinning axis you can flip it out. I'm no expert but that's basically how I do it.
PS lemme know if you wanna score some pics of yer Sis.
j/k
Lol I love you glassblowers.
Keep torching kut!! Ur number 1 fans!
Milky and Indy
huh right on thats different. is that preferrable to blowing a bubble and flaring it back then? seems you might save a step recondensing the thickness down...Quote:

Kut if your lampworking ends up like your Tc oil threads then you'll be killer, you know what im saying the techniques get easier and better with practice, reminds me that I should start a work thread up on here!
Seeing your pieces makes me want to work with color SO BAD, but I know I'm not skilled enough too hopefully soon :D
nice work kut thanks for sharing, ur comin along, nice dishes thanks for sharing
As they say in NA....."keep coming back!" Looks like your having fun!
just seen this thread, thanks for posting, looks like you have been at it with colors and controlling shaping and pressing limits! AWESOME!!!
Kut, your work is really nice...and I happen to LIKE that goblet! It's a Seussical sort of thing, if you know what I mean. :D
thanks guysngals! its overly fascinating and fun. i got a lot of new dishes to show ya soon :)
the goblet is funky, and i made a new base for it which is the best part now :D
last of 09. im getting happier :)
check out 8th pic: i laid some thin clear on top of that design before expanding it and it crackled, lol. accidental, yet pretty well done crackling... :D reminds me of the etsey marble guy, but i did see a reference to crackling in a glass blowing book recently, and apparently it can be done on purpose sometimes too.
shroom dishes are sickkky
+1 that's the first time I see some flate mushroom ;) look nice !!
Looking good!!
yeah dude gotta ask how you did that one the bw dish with the flat shroom
i got 4 dishes with flat shrooms on the bottom now. im feeling pretty chuffed about it too.. :D i just made a honey comb inside and outside design dish, one on black one on white with shroom image on bottom :) i will spill the beans on how i made it pretty soon, but first lets see someone figure it out, i think it must have been done before, i have only been blowing for 3 weeks.
smash a mushie push ?
no, thats not it.
these pics, more recent. that last thing down there was a bit too hard for me :D but it has no unfixed cracks or holes now! good to go :) i been practicing some spearlike honeycomb implosion shit lately on tubing. pretty fun. how do i get really long spears any tips?
