Shipping a dabber costs me $1.64. Its on the house. I always like shipping free and no paypal fees, I dislike extra charges personally and rather just bundle everything in a set price.

Kitty are you aware of the glass color Serendipity? I'm not sure who makes it but it is a really awesome color. I only know one person who makes stuff with the color.

Thanks! What would a custom bowl for a vaporizer actually look like? There's quite a few models out there -- do you have a pic of one you like? That'll give me an idea if its something I can do or not......
Yup! Its not actually a "color", but two colors. Its Northstar Star White under Amber Purple. I've made some pieces with it, and sold a 14mm martini slide with it yesterday. I can do any piece in that color you like!
Vortex marbles are twist striping a cone then shaping to a marble. They are pretty easy, something that is taught to newbies in beginner lessons. They are also pretty hard, as you can get crazy and complex just like anything! Marbles like to sell by the SIZE. If they are over 1" in diameter, thats when it takes some skill and a LOT of heat to make, and thats when the prices start to climb on them. Feel free to sell em in The Glass House!
I'm down to about 1/2 of the inventory that you guys saw in the last pic, so availability is getting harder till I make more. I made a few things last night, this is the one I like the most........
14mm Oil Dome - Aurora under Sublime honeycombed, twisted, and remibbed with a dabber flute or just different top. Took about 90 minutes to make, but I think it was worth it............

Wtf kitty, why 14mm!? That thing is gorgeous! Fuck... if it's in my price range I'd love an 18mm version of that for my order. Hell, make both of my pieces like that and you can forget the frit around the top
I was hoping you would say that.
I'm also going to be adding millis to yours, in addition to that work. I hope you like Uranium Honeycombs. They will even register on a Geiger Counter and are radioactive, but harmless to humans. Now that we got a style you like, I'll get to making your 3pc set.

Hey kitty! Haven't dropped in in a while but that oil dome is SWEET! Are you making whole oil bubblers now? I can probably use a few new dishes. N dabbers too. I haven't made any oil in like 6 months so I have a bunch of trim stashed up n gonna make a few runs soon. Gonna go back thru and look at pics!

Thanks!
Woodster! Glad your still around...... You know with bubblers, its such a complex little item, yet so simple at the same time. I'm not good at *sellable* bubblers yet, perhaps soon. Dishes, dabbers, domes, slides, those I've got covered!
It might.......
loving my dish, its full of oil! the way it was made to be
Good man! Please throw away that rasta jar. I hate seeing it in your pics.
I dont think I've talked about Uranium much at all, but here goes! Before Uranium wasnt regulated, it was put in glass as it has a similar COE. (40 vs 33). It hasnt been made for over a half century now, and is extremely hard to find. Its the most intense glow possible in glass. There is none better, and at $400/pound, it better be the best!
So, here's some of it on a dome and a slide for Gastanker......... (Dish is being made today, and a dabber to match the set as a freebie, hard to make a 3pc set and not make it a 4pc set!). The colors are Aurora with Sublime honeycombs, twisted to pattern, lots of sublime mibs and the Uranium Honeycomb Millis.
By the way, its evident in the photos, but a Droid Phone and black lighting makes things hard to photograph.
