i put a lip of glow glass on the bottom of the recessed female, it lights up pretty neat, makes the top lip glow on the top of the unit too, you can see it a bit in the light here i think.

That is the sweetest green ever.

**hashmasta-kut** · 04-05-2011, 06:00 PM

it is an amazingly great green

a touch of prodo for the european masses, plus a few fully worked ones too:

Kut just curious why some have different bell shapings than others? Is it because of the forming, or are you doing some more experimenting? Awesome batch of curves though!

**frillcappa** · 04-06-2011, 09:40 PM

I remember you saying you did a double reversal at one point, like pulled tube, wig, reverse, pull tube from reversal, wig, and reverse again. Do you have any pics of this... Im itching to try it just dont have a torch atm. Pretty cool your spreading your market to europe man!

ya i forgot about that. it wasnt as cool as it sounds it might be, but similar doubling ideas and combo techs work with other designs too. i think there is a world to explore of that sorta thing. it was pretty neat, but i was just early on in practice, so maybe its worth trying again, should get better results. thanks for reminding me of that

most bells are influenced by the type of color work applied to them. some have a tendency to naturally shape in certain ways when doing different designs, so it give the effect you are noting. i usually roll with it to a degree, kind of like how a wood carver carves what the piece of wood is, not what his mind has decided it should be.

meh. incalmos are tough.

**J Howard** · 04-09-2011, 11:25 AM

yeah they sure are. do you have a pair of diamond shears? they make the enclamo set up way easier. even the cheap ones are ok if you sharpen them. i like the rainbow piece, that has potential.... and is great practice for that technique
