Nice, I like the turtle, looks like really good welds. What's the green you used for the legs?

Thanks

def made me smile, Good Welds are so important for many reasons and has been my focus for last couple months, thanks for noticing! Getting a mini hand torch when ever my order from abr gets in. They are so worth every penny and are great for cleaning up welds. I got spoiled in a couple shops that had one so I broke down and got one. It was Mystery Adventurine for the legs

Super sweet flowers!! I love my handtorch and wouldn't torch without it anymore it has deffinitly become an essential part of my setup. And yes it is awesome for really getting in and working welds.

Been having a Blast in New Mexico!!!! Love the Scenery and the People. Stopped in to Greymatter glass and checked out there sweet shop and store. Doug is super cool and has a nice selection of glass! Then met up wit NomadCrafts up in the Mountains for a couple days a threw down on a fun collab

The first night I pulled some color tube and and made a reversal wit some tips from jason (3rd attempt @ reballs first usable reball but did not make it into the piece ) . Used a sleeving tech over the drawn lines to make tubing that jason showed me. We got up early and set out to make a matching sherlock, slide, and, jar all with unobtanium in them. Pulled another tube and he pulled some as well. The jar was my 3rd reball on top, jasons reball and his dragons blood tubing on bottom. He connected and shaped, I opened up and flared the opening and flattened the bottom. The slide I made the flower, leaf, bottom spiral section out of a piece of second tube pull I did, jason welded to his spiral and shaped and made a hole to connect to ground joint. I welded it to the joint and the reshaped the top after removing blow tube. Then popped the hole and pushed the bowl and added the flower and leaf. On the sherlock jason shaped the stem/mouth piece out of a tube pull he did and welded it to the can and did the bottom two reballs on the can. I made the top reball and connected all the reballs (1st time doing so) and shaped the can. I made the flower and twisty bridge and connected them and we both worked together to add it to the piece after he pushed bowl, then he did the carb. Success !!!! Jason (Nomad Crafts) is a super cool guy and taught me alot

Anyone in New Mexico Hit him up, he plays nice with others

we also made a trade, A flower I made for a really sweet implosion marble he did. Packed up, the next day, took advantage of bestbuy sale and got a new camera (let me know if you think pics look better, but we are still figuring it out and hope to get photobox I got on ebay for 30 bucks soon) then rolled out the Socorro to meet Mt. Burn

Here are the pics from collab~
