Kato's work and progress

[FizZle]

nice...that is sweet! awesome dude!

[Kato]

Stemline bubbler I made last night. Also trying out a new texturizer on a couple of the sections.










also I apologize for the less than stellar pics. These were quick last minute pics before the piece was picked up by its new owner If I can get him to take some better pics I'll post them up for sure!

Nice Kato, I like the metal strainer effect. Turned out sweet.

Another Stemline. This one has my first hand spun female glass joint. It's a little wobbly but it works and was sold before it even left the kiln I also wrapped up a different one tonight. I'll have pics of #2 later. Also, my cat Kizmit provided her modeling services for these photos and is available for hire...

Wow Kato!, Very Nice that piece is a real pussy Magnet!,

Looks Awesome Man...and I can tell the pix aren't doing it justice, and its still Blingin!!. Great Work..

[Kato]

Thx heddi,

Here is a couple from the last 2 nights. The bong is my first ever, and is a gridded harmonic stemline/inline? I dunno. And the yellow one is a fume trap lemon ice revival. Used to be a bubbler and a spoon I made a while back that had broken (i actually think the bub is pictured somewhere in here a few months ago). I call the piece "lemonade."



Also, I'm off to check out a littion tonight hopefully I can work a deal with this guy and add it to the arsenal$$$$$ wish me luck!

Yo kato u might wanna clean up those pics i see some baddness......

[Kato]

Woops didnt catch that! And I can't edit anymore. It's all good I was just using it to do some light digging that's all..

Could A mod help me out?

[NorthWoods Glass]

lol, good catch Steve! Hey Kato, are you pointing your diffuser holes up? The pics are a little blurry, and you don't really focus on your welds that much... I'm a fan of your texturizer - cool air bubble placement! Nice shaping too!

[CheeseNip]

looking pretty good. textures look really nice, but i would suggest getting those mibs on there better. they look like they're begging to get snapped off with just that little bit of clear behind em. i would also give the stems a little bend to em that way you aren't burning off your eyebrows while lighting it. looking real good other than that though.

Thanks man, yes for my stemlines I face the holes up I find I enjoy the pull much better. And I'll be sure to get better pics of my welds and seals as i've been very happy with them lately.
@rusty
I agree im going to put he mibs closer. Just yesterday I had a mob pop off just as you predicted lol.

Here is a lol bub I killed my Lox tank with last night. I polished the bottom of the can too much and have to re-sit it today. No biggie tho

[Kato]

Happy 4/20!!!! here are a few new projects. The big bub was a piece given away for 4/20 by the local headshop. And I also have another sherlock, thx a bunch for the bridge tips a few pages back everyone. They really helped with my sherlock shaping lately. Unfortunately this one's color faded and boiled a bit when I attached my marbles. I think I must have been giving off too much flare when trying to seal the attachment on. I think I know what I need to do for now on and am going to work the attachments real hot and with a smaller flame. Also, some dishes!

[Kato]

thx guys

Heddi-
The white was star white and the way you do those implodycombs is quite simple. you make a normal honeycomb marble, and put clear over it done. As for the sherlock its a homemade batch of off alien tech. unob under jamboree.

This next week I hope to be making a bunch of smaller headier pieces than its off to the prodo house for me :/

Glass is looking clean.

Your house looking dirty.

[Kato]

what can I say? my mind always seems to fall to the glass. The border collie and all of her toys don't help either..

[frillcappa]
