how long does it take to make those, and who buys them?

i wish i could afford a light saber like blow torch.....

anywhere form 10 mins to over an hour. marble collectors buy them. stoners buy them. people buy them for gifts. pictures really do them no justice. you can get lost in them for hours.

nice work fdd. Have you tried fused glass yet? you can make some killer trays and stuff <<< this is my specialty although I can make some decent pipes and beads I prefer to work with fused glass cause I like the fact that its not as common. I also do mosaics in case your ever looking for a mirror.
