Stick Stack

2010-02-14T12:29:00.003-05:00

This is the very begining of a headie-pipe. It's called a stick-stack. It concists of 12 sticks of 12ml. colored rods, in the pattern or colors of your choice.

Then you encase the stick-stack with 44ml. heavy wall tube. After melted in it is stretched into a 2 foot section and used for parts or turned into @6 reversed axis balls.

This a product for the smoking connoisseur! You should go to the link on my page and get yourself a pack, or two!

The owner of the company is a great guy, and has been a friend for many years.

I hate the taste of butane, and I'm glad there is an alternative to using the Bic to light up! These smoke rope pack are made in small batches, with the highest quality ingredients. At $2.00 a pack and $0.60 for shipping how can you go wrong?

Shirly nice -SOLD!!!!-

2009-11-02T17:05:00.002-05:00

I made this shirlock last night.It took me @ 4 hours.It has 11 sections. Including a Dichro bridge, 2 reversal montages, a vortex marble, and multiple honeycomb sections. I made this with the ends of my mystery adventurine, CBS rainbow dichro, and i used some black violet for the honeycomb. I'm pretty happy with the results.

SOLD!!!

I'm kind of disappointed with the way the pictures come up when i load them. I tried spining them in paint then uploaing, but they still came out spun the wrong direction.

I made this stuff yesterday. I was feeling like not doing production. This is my 1st Goblet attempt!!! I used lavender tubing and silver beach rod. I need another ball-grabber to make goblets, but I did it with one pair and a pair of tongs. I also made 2 spoons, one has a solor system on the side. the other is just a chunky one with black and yellow flower on front.

I made these pieces in 2004. Shortly after, I took@ a 4year break from glass blowing. I'm now wishing i never did. I've been back at it for @ 4 months. I had a rough start, but it's all coming back now!! I still use this little kiln. Best $300 investment ever.

After 8 years it's not looking so pretty but it still does the trick.

I just ordered a new digital pyrometer so I can Make Headies again. It kind of sucks just going by my old settings on my analog controller and estimating what temp. I'm at!

My Goal is: By Christmas or soon after I am getting the Paragon F130 W/ digital controller.

The headie in the middle of the pic on the right has a penetration bridge that goes from the mouthpiece through dough-nut connecting to the next reversal section.

Today I made spoons and fixed cracked shirlock

2009-10-29T01:29:00.000-04:00

Today, I made production spoons. I need to get money for kiln. These spoons are fun to make. I also fixed a piece I sold to Phat Stuff, Winchester NH. I sold them the little shirlock with wig-wam montage. Yesterday when I was there selling Katie a bunch of spoons and stuff, she asked me to fix this piece or give her another comparable in price. I personally didn't like the piece to begin with. There was no way I was going to give her another piece that was comparable to the price they marked it as. It was over priced. I think I gave it to her for $25 or $30, and it was marked at $70. So I just fixed it!

I personally think head-shops should keep prices a little lower, so they sell faster. It's not like the artist actually gets even half of what a shop sells it for. When I sell glass to the Hempest in North Hampton, Mass they do give me half or more, but that's because I trade them pipes for glass supplies.

The picture of the spoons and onies is about 2 or 3 days work. The spoons I made today are still in the kiln. these are from the last 3 days. I already sold them to Phat Stuff. Along with 4 outside worked shilocks and a couple of bubblers! Rent is coming up!

Dichro Rings

2009-10-28T12:03:00.000-04:00

This is one of the cases of rings I made to sell at the pumpkin festival in Keene, NH. Everybody seemed to really like them, but I didn't really sell very much. I guess that everyone was really broke. Most of the rings in this case are sizes 5 to 9. All are accented with dichro and are pretty durable. I set up at a frat house on the road of the fest. where there was a great deal of foot traffic, but I think most of the college kids were intimadated by the drunk jerks being baligerant.

The Fire Piece w/ Dichro Sun!

2009-10-27T18:00:00.000-04:00

I made this mini headie last week.It is @ 7 inches long, the dichro sun on side is 1.75 inches across. I traded it for more glass supplies. When I need glass supplies I bring pipes or pendants to John or Jason down at The Hempest in North Hampton, Mass. This is a color changing, mini-headie Hammer.

2009-10-27T13:00:00.000-04:00

This is a dichro galaxy pendant. this and the previous item (rainbow dichro ring) are both listed on ebay.

This picture is one of my handmade glass rings accented with dichro!
