My Progression

**ajhumbrecht** · 07-08-2015, 06:43 PM

Hey everybody my name's Andrew, I've been lurking for a while reading all the great posts but now I finally have my own setup and wanted to introduce myself. I'm about 50 hours in and have enjoyed every second (besides the few burns). I've been making pendants and marbles primarily, but have tried my hand at a few pipes. The three pendants I posted were made at 30, 40, and 50 hours respectively. Also had a question as to what caused the cloudiness that plagues the last pendant...thanks and hope to hear from you guys!

hard to tell from the pictures. Theyre kinda small. Cloudyness could be from forcing clear glass to move when its not hot enough.

Looking pretty damn impressive for <2 weeks in, I could have never attempted anything close to a wigwag the first week! Nicely done dude.

Damn man I can't believe you're doing line work already at 30 hours in!? I'm not even thinking about line work yet, and I have a good 200 hours. Just wanna perfect those frit bowls at this point. Not bad yo

Thanks guys, that's all I've been practicing as well as a little dot work. These are on rod though, tried tubing on a few but man it's hard. I'm around 60 hours with this one.

Starting to get pretty happy with the quality I can achieve so I want to start putting my stuff out there, any recommendations on what to ask for pendants like these? The finished one took a bit over an hour and the other ended up around 2 hours. I was thinking maybe 25-35? Any input would be appreciated.
