I have made one mini tube already. It is a 14 but I didn't have any 10s at the time. And this was on my current torch.
That's a matching pink slyme 14mm f nano gong attached to it.
I've got some 38 sitting on the rack just itching for Wednesday to get here! No recyclers or anything yet but expect to atleast see some small oil rigs in the near future.
Sorry for the b2b posts guys and mods but I can't edit the last one.
Looksy at what I just bought!
Not the torch I wanted but I couldn't pass up the deal.
To give you an idea of my excitement, the top torch in the pic is roughly the size of my current torch!
MORE FIRE POWER!!!
I have all of my photos in a folder on my Facebook but nothing where id be able to do that here.
I need to set up an Instagram.
Ok I set up an IG, you've twisted my arm! Lol
I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing on there and my 8 year old walked me through setting it up soooo......
Anyways...
@Snappo's stem is a mixture of straight amber and amber purple. His gong is pure amber purple.
I just ordered a sick ass new experimental color called fade to black that I'm super pumped to try out! It's a striking color like the Mai tai and amber purp but it's colors are black, white and like...
All great ideas but, @al bundy I think you're on to something there!!!
@Trogdor yes there is such a thing but it is very very expensive plus with my limited knowledge and shit luck I'd probably just burn the glow right out of the glass. Lol
You can look on mountainglass arts.com or lampworksupply.com or check out the individual sites for glass alchemy, northstar glassworks, trautman art glass (TAG), momka glass or do a google search on raw borosilicate colors. There's a plethora of info out there.
Anythings possible! Lol. The wait times are a bit longer on my artsier pieces just because I really like to take my time on them and get them just right.
I'll see what I can come up with. The mega Mai tai turns really earthy blues and grays and greens when encased in clear. Perfect for under sea types of work.
Yes there are tiny little stresses that aren't seen by the naked eye. Caused by improper annealing. You can use a device called a polariscope to see them.
