Interesting, what are you going to do with it?

I've gotten a commission to do a pendant encasing human ashes in clear glass. Any tips for this? I've seen some cases where the ashes look white, and in other cases just look like air bubbles. Does...

Ah thank you both! I'll try those out.

A shop that does work making ashes into objects contacted me about making some things for them. I need something that mimics ashes to put in the glass for a product photo. Anyone know of anything...

Thanks so much dudes and dudettes! I'll check out abr

Is there a place to buy dichro in shapes other than strips, for example circles? And does anyone know of places that print custom dichro images? Thanks

Been obsessed with stripey flowers lately, especially with UV glass. I'll try that opal encasement tech, if I remember I'll post pics!

Holy cow that daffodil is amazing, perfect shaping.

I've been making flowers over the years, here are a few. I've been wanting to implode an opal, anyone tried this? Any tips?

Does anyone have any questions or comments about anything? Anything you'd like to see me make? I see people reading this thread but it feels like I'm talking to myself.

My furnace work is getting...

Some new creations. Want to work on perfecting my flower marbles, I came up with some this week that are levels and levels above these two. Will post them as soon as I have them in my...

So I recently got back to the furnace, so I've got some new and exciting stuff to show you guys. Clear Vase is perfectly centered, blue vase is slighly off center which I think gives it a nice...

He said his budget is 300, plus the mirage is not gonna arrive in time anyways.

I saw a great quote on facebook "You don't have to attend every argument you are invited to".



Nice!

Me I don't really get this. No one's ideas are completely original, everyone's borrowing from someone else. And if it's that easy to replicate what you're doing, and you're mad about it, then make...

They often don't have the things that their website says they have. They have forgotten to include stuff I ordered.

I should try this, I've noticed rod warmers use a reducing flame, so it makes sense.

Also I'm wondering, do you always encase your fume?

dunno how you get that green and blue effect but it's dope, like more real than real

This is so amazing. I love stuff like this, incorporating figures into functional stuff.

Damn. I usually just don't even bother with colors like these cuz it seems like such a pain, plus time on the torch is $

I would put up more listings. I've noticed that shops without many listings don't sell too much. I'd try to at least fill up the first page. And I've found twitter to work best for advertising.

My latest! Wanted to try a more unique pose, and this is more securely attached to the base than the others. Still a struggle of mine, when I try to melt the figure to the base it's usually the...
