So this thing could've been pretty sweet, but it gave me all kinds of problems! The connection from the can to the stem is the worst part. I was melting in the seam and it was thicker than I thought and held the heat longer than I though, so while it was upsidedown, it slumped and pushed the bowl all funny. I had to reshape the bowl and try and slump it back in place (fairly poorly done.) Then this bastard started cracking on me in multiple places. I managed to melt and seal all the cracks and finally finish it and kiln it. Then I pull it out the next day and the bowl has a crack in it too. Stupid piece o crap! Oh well, I learned some valuable lessons in the process!

But unfortunately it's still an ugly piece of crap
|
I thought I'd hate rust...but it's kinda growin on me
|
The bowl was momkas silver beach and fume, and the wig wag was NS poppy, goldenrod, and a bit of yellow (transparent)

Hard to tell, but the crack is in the bowl, close to the connection. Look at that ugly ass connection!

Thanks for looking at my galleries! I've been lampworking full time since December '05. I am mainly self taught and I owe a lot of what I've learned to this website and the melting pot. Thanks to all of you who have been so helpful along the way. Feel free to use the "contact artist" button to inquire about custom work.

Thanks Sol
I don't usually use bridges unless I absolutely need to. This one was just me hurrying glass that was thicker than I was used to. But I've learned from my mistake and hopefully won't do it again in the future!
