Nope, I made it. It's a SoFlo
Dude props to you! I LOVE that fume work! I think since everyone has moved away from it towards colored glass, its becoming somewhat of a rarity these days (versus when everything was fumes back in the 90s and early 2000s).

Thanks man, with all of the pre made color tubes and stick stacks out there, it's becoming hard to be unique. I still have my first glass piece from 93' all clear piece with light silver fuming on the inside. Good to see there are still some old timers around! And thanks again for the kind words

Just thinking out loud here... but can you fume something thats already been made? If someone already had like a scientific style bubbler/tube, would you be able to tale it and fume it like that?

You can fume something that has already been made. the only problem is you have you re-heat the piece, and most of the good fuming (gold and silver combo) needs to be on the inside of the piece. And that is really tough to do after the piece has already been made.

Some pics of a new piece, finally getting use to the hornet tip!
Stupid pagebreak, had to bring this beauty to this page as well.
Lovely piece indeed, did you try to make a sherlook-pipe style mouthpiece there?

Is that yours? EA's work is always amazing and his staircase work is the best out there IMO. That piece looks like a collab though because that's not his typical can shape or his typical line work. Any idea if anyone else worked on this piece with him.

Nah I'm just an admirer, not an owner. I don't know if anyone else worked on that piece. I know what you mean about the can shape. something more typical:

I was going to be very jealous, I'm a huge admirer of his work but I just can't stomach $1k+ for glass especially when using it makes me clumsy.

Not even close lol. EA is a glass god, his recyclers are always on point function amazingly and highly sought after but where he really shines is his milli work. Check out his latest pull.
This is his signature pull, when you look at the big block of glass above you start to realize how much work actually goes into these little millies that are just embellishments on a lot of pieces

Talked to Rick tonight...instead of waiting on him to make another piece like the one I originally wanted he's going to send me this one.
A Song of Ice and Fire! Looks sweet!
Also, crosspost from the Cory thread, 18mm female joint Recycler:

some would say too big... but with the domeless scene I am suprised more blowers havnt just done away with fancy domes on rigs.... but thats just me ... kinda like how some dont include a bowl any more.... or how some rigs dont include a nail? buuuuut... I do find that with smaller 14 and 10mm rigs its hard to fill them up.... so I use the domes as a sorta funnel for filling.
anyway back to the recyclers.
