ok, don't laugh

[stilleto]

i made something in my new kiln.

its a glass bowl. SLIGHTLY lopsided if you saw it in person, but cool anyway. I'm JUST learning how to use this thing, so it was an experiment.

 

[b0und]

Sorry, I lol'ed.

Nice going though, but how can you see a glass bowl "in person"?

bongs and pipes have to be made by glass blowers.

[Mavafanculo]

Were you going for an Impressionistic / Picasso styled bowl ?

 

[b0und]

its layers of glass.
when you fuse glass, you need at least two layers of glass. So for this bowl, i used white on the bottom, then a layer of clear (textured side down, which is why there are tiny bubbles all over), then rectangles of amber places randomly. on top of that, i put rectangles of dark purple, plus purple squares by themselves, and on top of that, i put small squares of white. it all flattens out when you fuse it for 8 hours.

then i melted it all into a mold in the shape of a bowl.

no, but i'm currently doing a stained glass panel of van gogh's starry night.

i just wanted a modern retro look for this.

I think you captured it very well.

I think you captured it very well.

Thank you!
i belong to a fused glass message board and they make super professional stuff that's sandblasted and torched and wax casted and stuff...

so mine is pretty amateurish.

 

[Raptorex]

I make table candles...


I pour wax over tables and light them on fire...

Pretty HOT Item!
