One week In, 12th Spoon

[JMBaker79]

Hey so this will be my first posted piece, as its the first one Im proud of, well, thats probably not true, proud of all of them because I learned something on each one. They say make 100 Clear spoons right? I don't know, I like to just hit the ground and learn some stuff and figure it out as you go, I mean I made some clear ones too....So this is the 12th Pipe I've made, and the one with the best bowl push Honestly. I have really been struggling with that part. Anyhow, that for another day, Just thought I would introduce myself again, and share something. Chinese Cobalt Tubing, 25x4. Silver fume using a concentrator which I hear sometimes doesn't produce great results? A Revere video I watched had a question regarding larger pieces of silver looking like stars. So I fumed, and also rolled it in some silver filings...I Like it, Its very thick, which I think is over compensation from the earlier bowl push issues i was having, looking for a happy medium. I stopped widening the carb when I realized it was taking my fume away, but I like the look it produced. Should have melted in the dots further, but tossed it in the kiln anyway. Looking forward to the next one. Comments and Critiques welcome
