Blowin' glass on my new mirage - WINTER 2010/11
- Thread starter fdd2blk

what is "crossing the line" thats a very vague criteria? is there a list of rules or something? btw i have been looking all my life for a hashpipe and i think you made it. i need to buy it so i can smoke all this hash i have not been able to smoke out of anything else.
insults, attacks, threats, .... there was a list of rules you agreed to when you joined. as a mod we are expected to be able to determine when the line is crossed. after years of being at this site, and having a few posts, it's pretty easy to tell when the line has been crossed. we all saw dude stepping up to it. once he starts personally attacking me, he's crossed it.
i started with a piece of 12.5 mm, heavy walled clear tubing. i covered it in a layer of white. then i covered that in a layer of super unobtanium. then i covered that in english ivy. then i put a layer of clear over it all and melted it all in pretty. i will pull off little sections to start piecing together to form my parts. once each section is made i connect them all. 
i made a small sample piece to see how it would look before i made that big piece of tubing. i used the sample piece to make the bowl and the mouthpiece section. i will work off the mouthpiece section and start adding each new section to the end of it. melting it all together as one, as i go along.

for sure man. for that just jumping out of your head its pretty damn intuitively designed. small hole big bowl, I had the first part in mind but the second no.....
really awesome man, mixing functionality with artistic style.
i hate being told what to do, i do appreciate "feedback" though. it's a fine line to risk walking, it scares my wife. she often says the wrong thing at the right time. somethings so small as "what's this little bump right here?" can crush me. a lot of the work is done on the verge of not ever making it. to work glass is as delicate as the glass itself.
this first one was a little sloppy. i was trying a new technique. i usually hold the rod overhand when spinning it. i made this piece holding it underhand. it was like the first day, all over again. i struggled a lot with my technique while trying a new design. each piece, for me, is it's own little accomplishment. i plan on making more of these in the near future. i still may sell this one, for the right price.

wow, I think you should keep the first one man, that sounds like quite the achievement, the next level of a new skill.
I'll watch out for the next ones, you should definitely keep that one as a milestone for sure.
and that kinda gave me a new image on how hard it is to make new pieces for you, new styles and such. interesting...
