Ha I love those, you did a great job. are the horns gold fumed?
It all started with this one. I made a simple sax pipe, and it took off like crazy. The shops were loving it. When I finally made an Etsy shop, it became one of, if not my most popular piece. Weedit dot com made it their piece of the week or month at one point, I don't remember, but they didn't even inform me of this. I found out by googling sax pipe to see how easy it was to bring up, and I found an article they'd written about it and my shop. I felt so giddy.
It's simple, right? There's like nothing to it, but people freaking love it, and it didn't stop there. I started getting all sorts of requests for other horns, so I obliged as best I could.
The trumpet.
Then the french horn.
I also plan on coming up with a Trombone and a Tuba one of these days, keep getting requests for those. But in the mean time, here's a guitar, now let's jam!
-Edit-
Almost forgot the chainsaw. It counts. That one guy played a chainsaw in that one song that one time. It counts.

Naw, that's just silver. I've never worked with gold, too expensive.
a $20 gold wire lasting years!? occasional use must be an understatement..
Gold doesn't fume like silver does, definitely get some and try it out it goes a little bit goes lot farther than a little silver does.
I'm familiar with ICP, but faygos and nedens? You're speaking a different language man!
I made that for a guy who worked as a tree trimmer. I guess he really loved his job, because he wanted a chainsaw pipe specifically, so I obliged. Since then I like to work it in where I can. Try to make it fit with everything, though I've only ever sold the one.

I gold fume a decent amount and i buy the inch pieces multiple times a year for sure....but there is always that chance that I am doing something wrong or over using... I wish 20-35 bucks of gold lasted me even a single year!
20 dollars worth of gold doesn't go as far as 20 dollars worth of silver.
I pretty much only use fume and I am either doing something insanely wrong or something if my gold is supposed to go a lot farther than it does. I feel it goes pretty far already and that's using it all day
There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame ; it comes to the soldier, war mad on a stricken battlefield and refusing quarter. ~ Jack London

this is now a fuming discussion thread.
Love this guy. Seriously Mr. Vandelay, you crack me up. You keep making me laugh, and I keep trying to add to your reputation, but it keeps telling me I've gotta spread it around. I have added to many other reputations, and still can't add to yours. Grrrr. Too funny.
Really now, can we get back on topic? What's a ninjallo?

I bought a $100 24k gold coin about three years ago and have used about 1/3 of it. I fume pretty regularly. It was about the same size as a dime.
Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank.

Awesome pieces! I bet these go over well for your customers.

Oh btw, you have to spread rep to 9 different people before you can hit art again.
