Tomorrow I'm driving to Mountain Glass Art in Asheville NC to buy my lampworking setup. You got me hooked reading that f(*@#(*@# thread about "I bought $100 worth of glass". Going big good kiln nortel major and all the goodies. Looks like about a $2000 money dump.
All because of your stinking marbles and eyeball pokers.
Sounds like a good edge to inspirationi smoke a lot of honey oil and my music plays a lot in the outcome of my work.
i watched dudes make one one night that was as big as a grapefruit. the ones in the pics are an inch and 3/4's in diameter.yea reminds me of the end of men in black when the aliens where playin with the universes like they were marbles. how big can you make em? like as big as a c cup maybe? looks good nonetheless.
