Are you trying to say that you invented implosion marbles? How long have you been workin with glass? For what it's worth, I don't feel like there's anything wrong with using other peopels techniques because everyone has done this with glass ever since the first person who put fire to glass got copied by someone else who thought that puting fire to glass was a good idea. We all use techniques every day that we didn't come up with, weather it be shocking glass with water, scribing glass, or whatever, and I feel that the free distribution of techniques helps the glass culture develope faster. I do however think there's something wrong with sayin that you invented tequniques if you didn't......... Either way though, nice marble.

i tink the da marble is fuckin awsome, as for using someone elses techniques, isnt that all we have in this world, other peoples techs. may it be glass or if you do yoga, should you figure out a way to stretch that someone else hasnt done and not do the stretches that r good for you. pick up a pipe it worked for me

**ShttrdSpctrm** · 03-04-2007, 12:13 PM

oh ya, the Emplosion tech is fuckin great, im gonna do one now and copy you

**Snurf** · 03-04-2007, 12:50 PM

dam chris,

you are comin off like a Glass hole.......I liked Gremlims piece. a nice spin on the Gatson theme......I do agree that he needs to give props to the innovater.....Gatson showed the world how to make his marbles at the first flame off..in 03...it is all about evolution ..

I would love to se a gremlit incased in to one of those space marbs

**gremlinglass** · 03-04-2007, 03:14 PM

Thanks,

The EMPLOSION is what I came up with (see bottom of name that tenique). It's mine stay of of it.

Here's one like the one in the Bob Snodgrass article. Bob Snodgrass marble with aliens and space scene and This Triple Alien Snoddy

Here's one of Bob Badtram's marbles. Bob Badtram marble with the earth and space.

Here are a few I had with me at the 2003 A.G.I. When I met Gateson and gave him mad props in person. http://pbase.com/bkbowden/gremlin

Good idea about the gremlit, Ratty dog...
I'd really like to see a gremlet Encased too. Incasements are a cool tech, but I've found the results of an Encasement can be really quite 'spacy' as well. Hmm, Who or What was it that envented Space anyway? I've heard a few stories, but I'm not sure which one is really correct. When was that tech Envented? Life can seem so complex sometimes... luckly, I can Encalmo

It seems to me that many sentient beings in the universe would make an art replica of the environment around them. Go figure! Anyway, once again nice work Gremlin... nice to see your work Ivolve.
Etes to the midetateons!

**CripSkillz** · 03-04-2007, 04:13 PM

What exactly is a gremlit I searched here but didnt find nothin

**gremlinglass** · 03-04-2007, 04:41 PM

Grimlet

**K-Dog** · 03-04-2007, 06:01 PM

Wow...All i can say to that is that getting a rep for being a dick is bad for business,you should keep your mouth shut.I mean your work is great,you have shit on display at corning,and im sure people look up to you,why ruin it by being a douche bag.Say your sorry.

Gremlin i like the marble,and my advice to you is to copy everything this guy does,and strive to be better then him,because you are.

**newmexicomagma** · 03-04-2007, 06:06 PM

thats crazy gremlin freakin awesome. i like the "emplosion" name everyone thinks its just spelled wrong funny stuff.

**shudbworkin** · 03-04-2007, 06:08 PM

i dont see where he said he invented anything,that sucks that you post your stuff and get props then a couple of haters come along and put words in your mouth,no glass blowers i know would come off like that,period.

**steven p selchow** · 03-04-2007, 07:03 PM

Good to see ya back again Gremlin. You always had those skills. Because its a marble does that make it so thats its not available to simulate?

Maybe all the spoon makers should quite making them look like other peoples spoons.

Serioulsy, Gateson don't post his probably because he doesn't want them copied, and I mean exactly, which is next to impossible to do anyway. I think he feels funny when it comes to that, and I know hes spent a lot of time in research and technique to do his style, so his work is more one of a kind than other types of glass pieces in the same catagory.

Gremlins put in his time, and I've even tried space themed marbles/pendants, their undoubtedly unique each and every one of them.

I seriously doubt knowing him, his plan was to copy gateson from the time he lit the torch to make one.

Its a free world brother.
