Check it out yo.

Not my best work but wanted to say hello.

Posted by Tb303 on 8/2/2010

Still figuring out the variables. Any pointers appreciated.

Here to learn

Garbage pictures but the only ones I have at the moment.

Imperfect spheres 1 3/4" diameter flattened to sit. Gathering 6-7 inches of 25mm rod into a fat wad and using the 25 as a handle. I find slower rotating results in faster movement of the details towards the center of the disk.

SDC10366.JPG Trying to photograph these makes me wish I'd stuck to a perfect sphere shape. Funhouse lenses. 620 x 640 px (123 KB) 0 Comments		SDC10365.JPG Well aware of the bubbles. Encasing helps but even the transparents and clear bubble at the surface when I bump up the "thrust" on the torch. (high volume high velocity flow) 664 x 655 px (128 KB) 0 Comments
SDC10370.JPG Very difficult to find an angle that shows everything. Maybe marble molds aren't for amateurs after all. 954 x 483 px (144 KB) 0 Comments	SDC10361.JPG Come to think of it, the shallow one might have been a save where I tore out the mess after closing up a deep implosion divot. 1024 x 768 px (274 KB) 0 Comments	SDC10371.JPG Still working on controlling depth of implosion/co... I think the shallowness of the one on the right was from compressing my disk with only the face half of the glob hot and the back stiff. 1024 x 768 px (274 KB) 0 Comments
SDC10363.JPG Will repeat these colors. Less bubbling from color selection or less intense (thorough) heating? It is the shallower of the two. 559 x 543 px (109 KB) 0 Comments	SDC10364.JPG 1024 x 768 px (274 KB) 0 Comments

Love dancing with glass. Here to learn and bounce ideas around. Into the "implosions" "compressions" and other shapes that result from the natural flow of glass.
