HMK's mediocre glass thread

**Swampy** · 12-29-2009, 09:59 PM

here's a thing to try;

Blow out the end of a 25 hvy tube, leave some meat on the nipple at the end.

Punty up to the nipple.

part off so you are left with a 40mm long piece of the tube on your punty.

pick out the tube end so you can open it up.

with the right heat and spinning axis you can flip it out. I'm no expert but that's basically how I do it.

PS lemme know if you wanna score some pics of yer Sis.

j/k

huh right on thats different. is that preferrable to blowing a bubble and flaring it back then? seems you might save a step recondensing the thickness down...

Kut if your lampworking ends up like your Tc oil threads then you'll be killer, you know what im saying the techniques get easier and better with practice, reminds me that I should start a work thread up on here!

**lostinadaze** · 12-30-2009, 04:30 AM

Seeing your pieces makes me want to work with color SO BAD, but I know I'm not skilled enough too hopefully soon

**ras_eel** · 12-30-2009, 09:58 AM

Kut, your work is really nice...and I happen to LIKE that goblet! It's a Seussical sort of thing, if you know what I mean.

**hashmasta-kut** · 12-31-2009, 01:49 PM

thanks guysngals! its overly fascinating and fun. i got a lot of new dishes to show ya soon

the goblet is funky, and i made a new base for it which is the best part now

**hashmasta-kut** · 01-01-2010, 01:09 PM

last of 09. im getting happier

check out 8th pic: i laid some thin clear on top of that design before expanding it and it crackled, lol. accidental, yet pretty well done crackling...

reminds me of the etsey marble guy, but i did see a reference to crackling in a glass blowing book recently, and apparently it can be done on purpose sometimes too.

**Clear_dome** · 01-01-2010, 02:35 PM

**cc_bob** · 01-01-2010, 02:48 PM

Looking good!!

**Lub** · 01-01-2010, 06:51 PM

yeah dude gotta ask how you did that one the bw dish with the flat shroom

**hashmasta-kut** · 01-01-2010, 07:20 PM

i got 4 dishes with flat shrooms on the bottom now. im feeling pretty chuffed about it too..

i just made a honey comb inside and outside design dish, one on black one on white with shroom image on bottom

i will spill the beans on how i made it pretty soon, but first lets see someone figure it out, i think it must have been done before, i have only been blowing for 3 weeks.
