Faded are you using 4mil to encase? I get similar effects when encasing that way.

yeash, i am. people laugh at me for it, but i'm good.

i just ordered a case of 6mm. i still have plenty of 4mm as well. i'm gonna check out the difference.

No I really dig the effect. I used some green of some type, will have to look at that tag again, and coil potted it up and lined it with 4mil. I thought that they came out wonderfully and I like the encasing a little more that way. I need to get better though, I still trap bubbles.

i prefer a few bubbles here and there. i'll often entrap a few long lines of air just for effect. you can get some nice fume lines off them as they round out.

forgive me for probably sounding like an idiot, but what how are you making those pieces with the magic mirror? Are you laying the color onto a point, then encasing? Sorry I know the answer should be obvious, but those pieces have a different look to them.

Thanks and your work is looking real good. I love the colors.

color coil wrapped onto 25 mm clear tube then covered with 4mm clear rod lengthwise. i don't melt the color in before applying the 4mm. by leaving ridges and valleys i get more effects. i drug the color as i coated it, as well. the ends are honeycombed with the same color.

my wife and i walk the beaches here and find cool driftwood. i wrapped a few pieces together with some hemp cord and hit it with a couple coats of clear urethane. made a cool little stand for this bubbler. which now sits on someones mantel.
