Ahhh damn. ! :lol: uranium glass? Gotta add it to the list of things I want now :( :lol: :)

As far as the rasta dish, it's chillen in my drawer! I actually cleaned up about 9 dishes today and put them all away in the glass drawer along with the rasta dish and the blue /white lipped dish of yours :). Using the one with the indent for my main errlz now. SUPER functionable, just very hard to see my erlz. I was serious about you copying the dish design, in colors that would allow light/transparency to show through :)

I really think your onto something! Cleaning the old oils out of the indent dish was also far, far easier to do than with the other 9 dishes I cleaned. I think I previously mentioned how easy it is to get a dab outta this dish too. Literally the most functional dish in my collection, and that's saying something considering my 'tiny' collection (from numerous artists) :).

So, what to make with them?

--> You could make a spoon and have the terminations on either side of the spoon body

--> You could make a dish with the work in the middle, but that rball is probably about 3x larger than you'd want to make a dish out of (TINY balls for dishes!). But rather than the work being centered in the center of the dish, the ball could BE the dish and have the lines work their way all around.

--> You could connect the balls together, and make a 4-ball sherlock or something. Or a mini oil rig even (!!). Practicing connecting rballs together is something that I need to do, too. Its not that its hard, but cant mess up the lines!

#1 rule when making rballs is to use the marver as LITTLE as possible. Marvers mash things which makes lines crooked.

Cant wait to see what ya made!
So here is the wag ball I posted a picture of turned into a dish. This dish is a collab between me and my boss. He was helping me and showing me how to do a more shallow dish. It came out awesome, just had a couple holes pop in the pattern while we were working on it from cracks which is why it got a little crazy but I like it.

Here is a different dish style I made, with a matching dome. The damn holder broke off in the dome when I was trying to take it off, any way to get it outta there? Oh well, time to make another. Everyone keeps getting better. This is the first dome I did where you really cant see where I attached the section at all, no lip or anything which is good. My first couple ones had little chunky lips where I made the seal and it collects claim on it inside the dome lol.

Damn that uranium glass is badass! Does it give off radiation?
Sure does! It registers on a Geiger counter and will be radioactive for the next 53,000 years or so. :-) Its not harmful radiation to any human.

Yeah I agree, even if you are just learning that is what a progression thread is for right? To record how you are when you start to how you are when you are better. If that makes sense.

Hmmm.... I probably can, amber purple with a lot of clear might mix up right to look like a milky amber trich. It might be a tricky one! Where would the dome top be, center of cap? PF Tek is wonderful. I've shown the tek to several friends, all of whom have more mushrooms than they know what to do with them. Its so simple, cheap, and fun!

And Kitty please throw up a pic of mine here tomorrow if you get a chance! I can't wait to see it!!
Sure will!!

Yeah I think I'm gonna try a monotub next time. Too dry here I had to mist like a mofo. Still gonna do cakes tho. .... the hole could be right in the top middle of the dome,. Idk if you could make the "trichome stalk" kinda bent like a real trich. Or if then I would need a curved nail :p. Maybe not if its just slightly curved?
