Must I say? Yes I must! I fucking love my Chinese rip-offs ! ! !
Sorry if I offend anyone on any level. It is not intended.
But on a very shallow level, it is so very true . . .
DHGate I love you!
I do not have easy access to a good selection of quality home-blown glass where I reside. Believe me, I tried.
I began my glass journey buying local - my LHS supplied me with many Weed-Star, Black Leaf, Grace Glass pieces & the like at prices that would mean I had to save my dough & then think long & hard about what I was buying, and from a limited store selection that was not really in keeping with the style that I was looking for.
And I feel that I am completely unable to afford the original pieces by the amazing innovative U.S glass blowing artists - and then have them imported to my location.
But I admire it all so much
So to get glass that imitates glass art is as good as I can do right now, & I am really having a lot of fun & enjoying it!
My shamefully branded Mobius & Honey Dripeos bubblers etc. are really a homage to the originals that I do not have access to, and will only eventually own once I become wealthy enough to justify importing my own o.g American glass.
And that day WILL come btw
Oh yes.
But untill then, I will continue to LOVE what DHGate can offer me 'cuz quite honestly, it's the tits
Again, no offense intended.
Psycho-Berry, Lily & a pretend Liquid-Sci, I've found will kinda do this to a guy!
Have a lovely weekend F.C.
P.L.U.R. (everytime)
