Back on the Torch! Cobalt Blue Glass Pipe Photo Shoot
Finally, after many months I got back on the torch and started glassblowing again. It's been a long time and it was both my first time with a new studio spot and my first time with a nearly finished home made kiln. I managed to fry the digital controller in said kiln though so until I get that fixed or replaced I'm once again not able to blow. Realistically that night was the first night I HAD a digital controller at all so I could technically go without but that's not fun and I'd like to move away from that. Tomorrow I plan to take some photos of my new studio, as well as the changes to the kiln to share, so stay tuned!
This pipe is the only thing I made that night but I consider it a success despite it's slight malformations. I stacked translucent black dots on top of white dots to make the effect you see.

Thanks for sharing this. That pipe looks really cool. I really like the effect you created with the black dots on top of the white dots. Glass blowing has always fascinated me. I'd like to try it someday, whether I just take a class and blow a paper weight or try it as a serious hobby and create some cooler items. I have officially put glass blowing on my bucket list.
i liked your picture, they are really good.
That's really cool! I can't imagine the type of patience it must require to finish something like this lol. Like in my head I'm picturing a long drawn out process and then at the very end, messing up a slight piece and the entire thing seals, thus making it useless. That's about how my glassblowing experience would go if I had to guess lmfao. Very cool dude!
I'd totally smoke out of it!
