I am an AC/DC fan, hence the title. Finally got time on the torch and I am in love with it. Had a lot of fun messing around and getting a feel for things.
This is the first marble I did on 10mm rod. I taught myself a valuable lesson. Do not put hot glass on a cold stainless steel bench. The marble ended up cracking while I was working on it.
I was trying to get the colors to compress but not sure what went wrong.
Any ideas? I melted the color in after placement then I heated up half the marble and pressed it on my marver pad. Maybe I didnt heat it up enough and it was too cold.
Here is the second marble. I believe I had used dragon's blood and raven. On this one. Got the shaping a little better.
Then I was making a small marble. When I went to go burn it off the rod, the way I had pulled made it look like a sperm. Had it on my tweezers and it fell of onto the concrete. The tail broke but I was able to take the head and make a new tail. Not as good as the first.
This last one I was working on and my first tank of propane ran out. So I put I had placed it in the kiln with the punty still attached. I have to shape the one side a little bit more but so far I think this is my best marble. It was made with half blood and colbalt 5 or 6. The colbalt doesn't look right. I will try to get a better picture of it. The half blood is awesome.
Thats it for now. Today its extremely cold so I wont be melting but if tomorrow is better I will try to.
