That's a really cool idea. Nice job on not burnig the crayons colors. Impressed with the colors of the lips of the dishes. Really pops.
The boiling sure is the biggest bitch about working them. I generally coil pot the color onto 26mm tube, puff condense puff condense to even it out, and then attach the ball already spiraled up, and then work it out again..... On the Mirage if half of my flame has a yellow streak to it (indicating very low amount of oxygen pressure) and a decent amount of propane the crayons melt in buttery pretty easy, it just takes a very long time to get it shaped. Any bleb after the coil pots instead of removing to the water bowl, I hit it with the paddle to keep it cooler than the rest that way the nipple part doesnt boil too.
Oh yea, the biggest trick I found to prevent boiling....... As your applying your color from the raw stick, dont just lay the line down, spin the color rod hand while laying the color down that way it twists up, if you do that all of a sudden colors are about 75% less boily-prone..........
I'm also starting to think that Northstar is pretty weak with respect to having a full color palate. I'm constantly looking for better eye popping colors, I wish we had as many choices as soft glass.
Post-oil paragraph, sorry it was long, and thanks for the props.
That is a very hard skill to master and make properly spaced coils with nice even walls. Good job dude!
