a bub, and a sherlock. the sherlock has a copper splatter encasement marble, and a "space wing" as i like to call them.

pretty happy with both of these.. i tried not to photograph their flaws =)

i do encourage criticism on these.. i am trying to improve, and i think i'm blind to .. some things.

stoke, if you're on here, drop me a line!

So were they all a flaw cus I don't see a picture of anything!

It might just be my computer I don't know!

Wow. How do you do the snake skin? The fume looks awsome!

seeing those at the show last week was awesome Seth. If people don't dig em I am at a total loss, I think your work is fucking killer!

hey kind, my wife just picked up a rectangular pin frog.. haven't used it yet. you'll get tiny air bubbles with it... if you poke it hard enough =)
i spent a couple weeks texturing tubes for sleeves.. with everything i could think of. try stuff! aluminum window screens, knurled tool handles, big screws, concrete was a failure, diamond plate.. try stuff out! post results..
i eventually had a tool made.. so i don't hand this one out. sry. i wanted to steal a lamp covering from the hilton last week, just to texture glass with it.. i held back.

those are all with screens, one 1/4 inch diamond screen. .. and dots.. i can't even remember what some of the things were that i did back then... that was 5 years ago.. omg.=(
experiment.. that's all i'm saying.

beautiful pieces, Firekist......I HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO FUME LIKE THAT....... snakeskin is the sickest....

Madafaya Seth if I could do flawed stuff half as good as that I'd be happy as a dog with two dicks.

Amazing texture, good work and well done on developing that.
