Wicked sick!

You totally cleaned them up, the fusing/joints look superb! So does the carb on the front. Colors and glass looks very smooth too.

Like faded said GREAT progression!

I'm glad I subbed to this when it was posted :)

back in my smoking days I woulda snagged that clear goldenbrown bottom and stemmed bubbler in a SECOND.

straight up slick elegant design, I'd love it if you made more stuff like that in the future, has a really classy feel to it . . ..

I just wanna say thank you again for the quick custom work on my bubbler kitty...
I just purchased it right now... and I CANT fucking WAIT to get it...

Thanks a lot again dude cheers.

" Sold! (Each item is a one off, we can custom make something similar, ask!) "


Will report back with what I think of it after my girlfriend and I hit it, we are excited.... but I'm sure it will be awesome... thx kitty.

Spent 4 hours today on the torch........ Hour one was making this:


It's white and sparkly blue the blue doesnt seem to show up much in the photos.



Yay!





...and then I spent the other three fucking hours on this:




It started as a 32x4mm extra heavy wall pyrex tubing, and I spent hours putting on by what I count on the finished piece to be around 60 pieces of Milliforetti. That stuff aint cheap, $3/gram! After that, I encased it in clear -- TWICE! Its the THICKEST and HEAVIEST spoon I've ever felt in my life. I dont mean to toot my own horn, but, toot toot!




Most glass pipes are lucky to have one piece of milliforetti on them with a little clear marble over them. Its the designs that people put little eyeballs or flowers on pieces with, let alone 60 of them.



More!



More more more!




Trying to decide if I want to sell the last spoon or keep it for me.... Its about $

Nope, no more glass. At least not for a few months. We have plenty of work to do (check signature for link to journal).

When I do start glass again, it'll be purely for the fuck all of it not for the selling. Probably wont sell anything other than to local friends. Sorry. :)

It's funny how many people kept referring to her as "dude" or "man"
How many dudes do you know that call themselves kitty?!

Anyway, great thread. I'm inspired for sure, just don't have 3 grand to drop yet haha.

Well I feel honored. I'm not lying when I say this kitty.. I have NOT used ANY glass piece since I recieved this bubbler from you. My girlfriend and I use it everyday, and my friends are jealous because I told them how I a acquired it... It's already been iso'd 3 or 4 times now, cuz I hate when it gets all black.

Much love kitty. *heart*

The last time I blew glass was October. I've moved since, setup shop, and finally had some time in the last week or two to make some pipes.

I'll be getting back to making more and more, but they will only be for sale locally. No more Internet sales. Sorry. :)

The wonky ones photographed first were me tryin to remember how the F to do anything. Took a few before I got the groove back. They all have room to improve, this is me with 100 hours of torch experience.
