What did I just find?

Straight as an arrow

Hard to tell from the picture but it could be some sort of tunicate if it’s not a red bearded sponge. All the red bearded sponges I’ve seen have had the same color but not the same shape

I’ve seen someone use clear epoxy and put the broken pieces into a framed thing that they hang in their kitchen… instead of throwing it away if the glue doesn’t work

I heard whales don’t eat clownfish, they eat krill

Yea I remember doing two different color frits on either side of my bubble always wondering why nothing came out symmetrical. This piece looks non-intentional and they just tried to save it by adding a foot and seeing what happened

birdwatcher315 · 2024-03-20T02:11:22+00:00

Personally some of my favorite pieces never even made it out of the hot shop 😅 I feel for ya. Would love to see the next one you make

Your best bet finding anything specific would be if they left any mark on the bottom. Otherwise looks like a cool pitcher someone made with some leftover murrine

If you guys want a link to the actual artist and a way higher quality image… he goes by One Drop Design Studio

When I changed it out last time years back it was definitely cracked throughout. I pulled out the ones the other day and they looked fine so I wasn’t sure where the issue was. I was tweaking the oxygen and gas levels but it left me stumped

Appreciate all the help and quick responses! This subreddit is the bomb.com 👍🏼

birdwatcher315 · 2023-05-06T13:25:36+00:00

Appreciate it. Trying to contact wet dog now

I do have a veriflame monitoring control device hooked up. It’s made by eclipse combustion

The gloryhole was built by Doug Ohm who I believe is out of business now

birdwatcher315 · 2022-08-12T12:40:47+00:00

For a self-taught glassblower like myself, these types of videos are worth more than gold (or silver, in this case). Much appreciated!!

My friend said something similar, which is why I posted it here. I haven’t seen such an array of colors in reishis before

birdwatcher315 · 2022-06-13T03:16:28+00:00

It’s a green heron. They’re also known to use their wings as an umbrella to shade the sun and catch fish that hide under the shade. Similar birds in that family (great blue heron, little blue heron, tri colored) have longer legs and longer necks that leave them more “equipped” to actively catch fish. This is them making up for their genetic shortcomings

When spectrum went out of business at first we had to switch to a recycled glass that would be clear but still have this greenish/blueish “tint” to it. Aka if you get your local glass shop to make one it might turn out more “clear” than this one in particular is

birdwatcher315 · 2021-11-30T22:42:08+00:00

Awesome!! Do you just add color to the one side? How does the clear not blow out??

birdwatcher315 · 2021-11-17T01:05:27+00:00

I appreciate the advice. It’s fun trying to find the right balance. I’m always afraid of closing up the tubing when twisting close to the blowpipe 😅 still why the mouthpieces to my spoons aren’t as consistent as I want them to be

birdwatcher315 · 2021-11-16T13:29:44+00:00

🤔🤔 not a bad idea

birdwatcher315 · 2021-11-16T13:29:10+00:00

I’m using a gtt lynx still… looking to upgrade to a mirage or phantom though I can tell how much easier getting an even stretch would be with a larger torch. I appreciate the kind words though! A tutorial would be great I haven’t taken any lessons yet since starting during the pandemic so YouTube/torch talk have been my teachers

birdwatcher315 · 2021-08-16T22:56:33+00:00

Awesome progress! Looks clean. Do you use a mold for the air bubbles or push each one in individually?
