Nomad's Work, Critique, talk, etc....

[Nomad]

Likwid will not buy any wrap and rake . Maybe $50 worth. They buy the color spoons. They are multirich on color tube. They buy like $300-$500 at a time of them.
The bubbler market died for them except once in a while.

[Nomad]

Likwid gets wrap and rake from China for less then $5 off a van. So I change it up for them. We worked on 5 designs until 1 sold.

[Nomad]

Order done and getting ready for delivery.

[Nomad]

A case exactly!
I have another case of glass for the guy to look at. He usually grabs a couple more pieces including a couple wrap and rakes.

[Nomad]

Hot as hell today. I promised my distributor 5 sidecar or hammer bubbs a day and 8 Sherlock bubbs. So I will be busy making wrap and rake for a while.
That is about all I can fit in the kiln.

[Nomad]

Pay kind of sucks but if I sell a couple things on the website it might work.

I am not sure how many I can fiscally make. I should make more per day though. Even if I got a bigger kiln.
But I have to take what I get sometimes.

[Nomad]

[Nomad]

I have to make 51 bubblers. All styles Sherlock, sidecar, and hammer bubbs.
Figure 2-3 weeks of bubbs all day.
Then I have another big order. But they like milli spoons and chillums.

[Nomad]

I am going to make some bubblers with someone else's vac stack tube. I am sure I will have pics.
I was considering the requests. So I will probably do honey comb on color tube also with silver fume.
Any other styles I need?

[Shattered Dreams]

whats an encomo? im sure i know what you meant though.

good to see other stuff besides w+r from you.
youve posted so many of the same wrap and rake bubblers and spoons that you cant even tell if they are the same old pics or new ones.
i think ive seen the same ornament pic there like 15 different times though.

i dont get why you called the other techs newbish when w+r is usually the first thing someone learns, besides maybe plain silver fume. even then, w+r with silver fume.

[Nomad]

Like I said I learned Italian first.

[Nomad]

I did not do a lot of wrap and rake until I got out west.
Stripes and fume were first. That and powder or frit.

[Jackass Glass]

yeah im working on frit and stripes / twisted lines to start. did a little wrap and rake here and there but nothing like what nomad can do.

seems to be the best place to leave it

[Nomad]

Made a cool spoon just now. Illuminati , blue, dichro and green tube.
$15 wholesale to the shop.
Better pics to come.

[Nomad]

Made 2 but I think the time estimate might be off?
I don't think I could ask for more money.
I think they take 45 minutes and cost maybe $2 to make.

[Shattered Dreams]

Like I said I learned Italian first.

oh, so thats how you spell it in italian?

[Nomad]

Probably not

[Nomad]

[Nomad]

Pics don't do this justice .

[Nomad]

Sherlocks done.
