    First off, +1 for /\/\ Awesome Pic!

    It looks sick as hell, but looking at it from a users perspective, the bowl is damn close to the mouth piece.
    I just hate going cross-eye'd when I'm hitting a pipe.

    On the stem leading up to the mouth piece, did you use some graphite tape when fuming, or did it just burn off when blowing those bulges? Looks cool...
    ~~~All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, and put the pieces back together my way....

    ^^things like that R Y i love art^^
    art should have an element of danger

    and i am with you on the distance from the mouth
    piece and bowl.... i was different, several times but,
    my abilities were really challenged and there were
    many sections were remade during assembly, as well
    as, one element was left out..

    and the fume is just burned off from where i blew the bubbles...
    the first one that didn't make it on the piece was fully worked
    and is now, turned into 2 spoons...lol...

    i have a question do you make your own coloured striped tubing or do you use pre made tubing?

    i was wondering cause i see a lot of the colour combos, and i always trap air when i do my own coloured tubes by tube encasing

    kind regards frank

    I am also interested in how you get your color tubing. Do you use premade or make your own.

    Looks like you have been super busy, some of those colors are sweeet! Really vibrant stuff

    i had meant to give THANKS to my bro and
    Super Ninja shop mate, Pyrotechnic for the
    opportunity to push myself and become a
    glass blower... And he is the maker of the
    color tubing...

    i have a bunch of pix i haven't posted of my
    4th and now 5th week of doing production...
    just really don't have much time unless i steal
    it from sleeping...

    kinda not working tonight because my dog is
    missing and i am understandably upset... xx
