i call bullshit on the first. damn it you cant do something that nice on your first attempt. hehe.

great looking inline and the drys are all very nice too.

i am curious as to the typical cost to electraform a piece like one of the shirly's you have above?

that is one avenue i have never researched at all.

keep posting pics brad. love seeing your work bro.

Excellent job my friend.

I'm not gonna lie man, my anus was puckered... it's definitely a different ball game handling something that big.

Thanks everyone for the comments, you guys are too kind.

Thanks Kage - I made a ribbon with eleven lines (in between layers of clear) and painted it onto a tube. I was kinda surprised it worked as well as it did... I need to try this with a different colour scheme.

Thanks Jay!
I had no intentions of making an inline anything that day, but I hadn't made a pipe in a couple of months, so I guess I needed to get something out of my system.

It doesn't really cost anything to electroplate, once you have a setup. You need a power supply that you can regulate to tenths of an amp, a plating solution, and some electrodes. I made my power supply using a computer power supply with another circuit I bread boarded.... shoot me a pm with some questions and I'd be happy to help you out.

Freaking nice work!!!

More stuff....

Playing with some sandblasting, the tree is from a photograph by a very talented friend of mine.

Here's a tall vase I was inspired to make after checking out Parramore's work, I love the proportions of some of his tall vases.
14.5" tall.

**Bo Diddles** · 06-05-2011, 09:07 AM

A small perfume bottle inspired by Suellen Fowler, of course. Her use of colour is masterful.

**Mecha** · 06-05-2011, 09:23 AM

Excellent!

I really love that tall vase man. Great proportions and nice overall flow.

That piece with the tree looks like an ancient artifact. I like that look.

More please!
