I ship anywhere you guys are willing to pay for.
When are u going to be ready to make a full blown water piece?I was going to add feet but the drips allowed it to stand plus I liked the streamlined look.
Well.... I'll be all caught up on my orders by the end of this week hopefully and I'm going to move onto some mini rigs I believe. Ms V&C lost her job Friday to, of all things a dirty piss test for THC!!!(fucking world we live in). So it's either.... Catch up on orders and step my game the fuck up or... Catch up on orders and give up on the dream and go back to wrenching full time again. I'm hoping to avoid the latter as I believe glass and I are kindred spirits and I'd hate to have to stop when I'm this close to realizing my dreams. So cross your fingers for me guys.
well I was a junkie and marijuana saved my life! So I hope you and yours fair well... honestly this is exactly what you need to get the hands truly dirty for the first time.@DieHard SOUNDS RIGHT TO ME!!!! Lol
Seriously though. My girl is a recovering prescription ADDICT. MJ has been what has kept her away from the pills for almost a year. You wouldn't believe what I went through to get her clean. Shes no junkie but had a shit ass pill pushing doctor that pretty much strung her the fuck out! Had her believing that the MJ was the real drug! I twisted her arm for months to get her to start vaping (she was one of those "I don't like the smell or taste of weed" type of people) but, I got her there and she has grown to love it as I do. Her boss however wasn't a fan as we are. I'll be damned if I'm gonna watch her give up mj just to see her slip back into the "legal" prescription drugs again! Anyways she wants to learn to weave hemp for my pendants and I'm gonna start training her how to do some prep work in the shop to keep her busy and give her a little jingle of her own. She didn't make much (maybe 200-250 a week) but that meant everything while my glass is taking off. I dump A LOT of you guys' money back into my business.
I realize this is a lot of personal shit but, you guys have put me where I am and I consider you like family and I like to be as open and honest as possible. I'd be NOWHERE without all of your support and I want you to know that I am still a 1 man operation with a lot of life going on as well as my glass. 3 kids that are 8,12,and 13. My youngest daughter in gymnastics my oldest daughter in cross country and my son playing football (he's a beast btw). Seems like every month is another birthday or holiday and more normal shit piles up on a daily basis no matter how much better I think I'm doing. I'm just trying to give you a little look into my life so maybe you understand why I might miss a deadline or not be able to respond fast enough sometimes. I try my ass off though! And I WILL NOT let my customers down. Just bare with me while I get my shit right.
Thank you all.
No worries! Deadlines are for bean-counters! Hemp for the pendants is a great idea. I will say this...I feel you. I have been there with mine. No kids though. Fucking pharmaceuticals are deadly. My positive vibes are always out there for you and yours. My wallet is never far behind! I believe the Universe gives back what you put out there. Keep up the great work!@DieHard SOUNDS RIGHT TO ME!!!! Lol

you need like a custom neclace with a bad ass engraved lobsterclaw clasp where the pendants hang. then you can switch them at will.Hey @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd really sorry to hear about your tough times. You know that I am a huge supporter of what you do. That's why I grabbed those pendents when you needed some quick cash. Hopefully other members purchased the rest. Funny that you should mention your wife making necklaces because I am in need for the pendents I got from you. I actually posted a question about them on the ask FC thread but haven't gotten any response.
I am looking for a type of necklace where you can change out the pendent.
If anyone here knows anything please relay the directions to Joda for his wife to make me one.
I would be happy to be her first paying customer
Edit: and don't worry about taking your time with my orders. I know you always come through for me. And anyone else making orders if you pay him as a gift there is no fee. There is also no protection but this man is super honest and our friend
Your words remind us that there is a real person behind the glass, pictures and text on the screen. Not some faceless business entity. Nothing wrong with that. I support because I care! And the killer glass too...You guys' kind words and support mean the world to me.
Just so you know though. My posts were not a plea for help or me begging for more work in any way. Just trying to give you all a bit if insight into my life in hopes that you can understand why I might get a bit behind from time to time.
Really though. Thank you all sooo much!
Really well said @DieHardYour words remind us that there is a real person behind the glass, pictures and text on the screen. Not some faceless business entity. Nothing wrong with that. I support because I care! And the killer glass too...

This is a hidden Album, so the only way to get there is this link ^. I tried to keep them in chronological order so we can see his progression,

Jewelry pendants, I don't think he's done any functional pendant pieces yet...I don't mean to appear stupid but I'm not sure I understand the pendents. Are they just (not just, but you get it) jewelry/art or are they devices for consuming herb?
When I used to macrame there was one style that was flat and another that created a spiral. Are there any other ways to do it?
