What did you come from and get, torch wise?
I've found that my leftover fumed point ends make great fumed helix pendants. And usually is already somewhat struck.

Thousands of people read my threads now. So I’m trying to not embarrass myself.
I had a CC. Now on a Phantom. The heat just penetrates so much quicker that I guess I'm just getting it too hot. That and I'm out of practice...
Almost done with this order. I'm so behind. I have 3 more orders just like this one.

good bends are an art all in themselves.
\
get a good bending flame going i find ones that just burn off the soot really good lots of yellow in flame
heat way more area then you think be super aware of how heat is traveling into your piece (heat rises).
use gravity alot sort of paint the flame along the piece and as you detect the slightest bending move outward(or to different area of section) towards ends of section and keep the bend flowing
also forced bends vs unforced and rotation vs no rotation are things to play with
i liked to paint the flame under the tube (no rotation) while holding one end horizontal and let gravity (unforced) do alot of the work on many bends

Blow Glass, Eat, Sleep, Repeat
I used some Parramore colors on this one that I've been hoarding since 2007 or so. I had forgotten how buttery they are!
These two are now on their way to Oregon.
I was all excited to take some nice pictures of this and post it up for an auction...when I noticed a tiny crack right through the little bridge on one of the horns. Easy fix (knock on wood) but I can't get on the torch tonight, and I'm so frustrated - worked two days on it already!
And I'm not sure why but the last picture is coming up rotated sideways in the post preview. How do I fix that?

Finally tried the Jade White and I LOVE it! It looks exactly like Uroboros Firelight Opal, which is what I was hoping for.
Finally done with an order. Now a couple of ornaments and I call it a day.
Very nice piece A.I., such tight wig lines on that neck & smooth clean terminations. Which leads me to my next question, what did you end up doing on that disk, would love to see a pic please? Gave ya some rep, hopefully for some motivation to post a pic.
Thanks twist! Nice moves with the rep points for more pics I need to get some for a potential buyer tomorrow anyway, I'll post them up.
