How hard is a honeycomb, FDD? Always heard it revered as an advanced technique, but I don't know shit about working with glass.

Fair enough. We've got a lot of honeycombs in the glass shop I work at, but very few are done correctly. A lot of them look like their bleeding, not very pristine, all-around cheap.

You have your glass in any shops?

i have stuff in a few shops around town. :)

honeycombs are actually pretty easy to do. the technique anyways. you just blow out a thin bubble of colored glass, then lay down big dots of clear. then you melt it all in. as the clear melts into the color it gains depth. the hard part is making all you clear dots the same size and to evenly space them. uneven dots can look sloppy.

i busted out 5 more yesterday. 001.jpg003.jpg004.jpg005.jpg

Is it appropriate when seeking buyers for your glass, to walk in off the street and say, look what I have.? or do you make an appointment before hand?

I am thinking of taking your piece I received yesterday down to the local shop and see what they will give me for it. Might be a new branch of FDD glassworks :bigjoint:

I've been considering trying to make a career as a glass distributor, wondering if there was a good market in it...
