Art in general.............. and glass especially, has such a connection to the person that created it. Most lampworkers know the feeling of shaping something using their own breath.........air from...

I live on Maui as well........Erik is a good guy and a talented glassblower, I'll second what Rojas said.

Hope life's treating you all well,

Hey Bob,

It's Cory from Maui............glad to see you're still making sweet stuff. Hope life is treating you well. I've been cranking out pendants and implosion marbles myself. Hit me up if...

Appreciate the response,

agreed I need to get the loop/bail looking a little sleeker........trying out the EBAY thing to see if its worth my time. Been doing mostly consignment and wholesale...

Made these last week.......let me know what you think.

Is it better with the EBAY game to start them at 0.99$, or start them at the minimum I want to sell for??

Any advice or comments are...

Did you make those on a tube or rod implosion??

Beautiful color combo's..............I like the colored loops also.

Also where the hell is your avatar from.......old skool nintendo Im...

Hell yeah Jupiter,

I wish you the best at the art show.........I'd like to think people will recognize how very difficult that is to make out of glass. Not to mention beautiful. It's so cool you...

Keep up the beautiful work

Ive also heard the thing about using sound waves to keep the molten glass where they want it , like floating in the center of the kiln. So could you move it around by screaming at it if it pissed...

Nope, you're wrong..........its gotta be from either Swaziland or French Guiana ................. ........possibly Myanmar. :stare:

I heard of someone making shish kakbobs in their kiln by supporting the skewers where the electric coils are and putting some aluminum foil on the bottom to catch the marinade and veggie juices. ...

Ive always used the bendable insulated duct tubes.....14 inch diameter I think. I like it because it is cheaper than the rest and probably a butt-load easier to install. I would not worry about...

Is that a Pacu or Piranha in the background? Sweet ringer on the bell.
