Recent Acquisitions - Post Your New Pieces Here

[PhotoRider]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you take some closeups of that piece? my favorite art is the 'space' like nebula of color, the bone-white basketweave at the base of the last pic looks like you could look at it for 20 minutes.

Also the purple and blue mixing fume, I love it!


now... HOW did this person force you to trade your toro?! --

Oh, i'll see if i can blow up a couple shots. This is full frame cropped to square on my 21mp pro camera so a 1024 pixel image is a tight crop

If you like this Sasha Hess, look at my recent post on the recycler thread of the Sasha Hess in line recycler. it 2x the cost and much more work.


Oh, the person really, really, really wanted my custom mini inverted froth Toro. It was a nice costly rig, but I'm not a large Toro fan I guess. prefer recyclers and I ended up trading two rigs for a couple recyclers and the Taco octopus rig posted a few posts ago.

BTW guys, that Octopus rig I posted lately where I didn't know the artist, I checked, the artist is TACO.

Same thing happened today. He wanted my slime Earl Jr recycler and the small incycler pendant from Earl Jr. At least I did get one recycler. A new Glass Monkey Klein. It works awesome on the whirlpool. I'm impressed. Plus its large and a good fit for the EVO. I'll miss the Earl Jr slime piece because its an awesome piece, but I have a custom Lion Rasta version in shipping right now so I will have another and didn't have a glass monkey piece. The pendant is an awesome pendant, but it was more show that for use in my collection. I got an octopus horn bubbler and matching spoon, dish and dabber from Taylor Sims. Not a recycler, but an octopus piece also this piece will be a good user...

I hate letting a piece go, I really only want to acquire, not sell.

I totally agree. I follow the Swagger IG feed pretty religiously to keep an eye out for sales like that.

Got these little guys in today from Glassblowersdirect.com. So tiny, yet so functional.

This sidecar piece has a natural perc and is a whole 3.5" tall. As you can see, black trim.

The recycler doesn't whirlpool, but it does recycle and has those sweet slyme accents.

Damnit!! I just realized I created back to back posts. I'll report that myself.

How much was that little recycler? Also do you think they can make that recycler with a female joint?

The little recycler goes for $70 on the glassblowersdirect website. It's a 10mm joint so I don't think a 14mm or 18mm would even fit. Never hurts to ask GBD though.

I saw your Rasta/Lion EarlJr recycler on his IG page.. at least I guess that was yours he was working on.. It is SICK! The Lion head in it is crystal clear and amazing. Lucky Guy!! Sasha Hess is a Beast with those fumed inline pieces. Love them. Congrats on your pickups!!

 

[Caligula]

I ordered up a custom piece which is currently about a week and a half out from being done.

In the meantime I picked up this GBD natural perc to honeycomb tube to tide me over!

As always its shot in HD! Enjoy.

Also I'm still playing with the water level. Any suggestions?

oh my god, really. I looked at that piece on Earl Jr's IG just now. My buddy made a large order in Sept spurred by me wanting a custom lion rasta recycler like the one I saw last year on his IG page. It was due around my birthday so my buddy asked to make it special and Earl Jr said you bet...

Well due to several reasons the order got delayed, but shipped last week. I have no idea if that one is mine, but that is the only one posted in the past 6 months so maybe it is mine or since he was making one for me, he made another very special one to sell. I have know idea what is coming. If I know my buddy and his knowledge of my collection I would be surprised

Got to prepare since if it isn't I still want to be happy especially I traded the slime one away. It was in the top five of mine favorites.

[Caligula]

That's what I did with my last piece, was AMAZING getting to see it for the first time by unwrapping it!

 

[Caligula]

Speaking of which I just got an update from the blower. Hes ahead of schedule and it should be ready to ship this Tuesday or Wednesday! Huzzah!!

Its not going to be super heady or crazy but its what I want almost exactly out of a daily driver bubbler. Fingers crossed!

Who is the artist?

I share your thoughts. I should get my new Earl Jr piece and can't wait to see it for the first time. A awesome feeling for sure, but takes patience. Worth it because you get it when you get it...

DoubleAA80 over at Chitownboro is doing the work for me. He was super cool and answered all my glass noob questions and really worked with me to get exactly what I want... or what I think I want anyway, lol!

 

[berbano]

Got me an Inline to Circ from Swagger Glass. Awesome piece. Fairly heavy with a super solid feel. Took a little while to get the water levels to where I liked it. Not enough water the pull had quite a bit of drag, but after adding more it feels quite nice to me.

I know the feeling, but that's life Also, your tastes will evolve over time, at least for me. Some pieces I used just love have been so out classed lately, you know the drill

Huzzah!!

Makes me think of this:

Yeah, it's a pointless post. Let he or she among us who has never made such a post cast the first stone!

While I dearly love MST3K, no. I was quoting this:

Also, EVERY post I make is a masterpiece to be cherished throughout the ages.

That being said, come at me bro!

looks at the portable oil equipment in signature

No sir, I have not.

...although I was guilty of traveling around with a 2.5' heady glass bong back in the day.

Edit: did you burn a hole in the crotch of your pants? I could see that being very convenient in some situations...
