WS glycerin worked tiny!

Since I'm posted with this new baby right now, I figure I ought to give it a proper shout-out. Matching worked section up top, on bottom, and downstem & slide. New orange/yellow/green blacklined color scheme WS is making, looks pretty damn fine to me. 18/14mm bushing downstem. Glycerin surrounds the 10-arm section. They had one in blue which in retrospect I now think I like better. Regardless, you take out the downstem and drain the agua and throw it back in the freezer to chill the glycerin. Better than plastic ice cubes, and the water level still stays the same, and looks cool as hell! Delivers frosty as promised! And I personally like the "pregnant"-style look of the tube, with the larger bore section with the tree. The worked sections this crew is producing now is getting scary, and as far as functionality, don't even go there! Now that these little suckers have splashguards, there's nothing I can complain about, and Wicked Sands 10-arm tinys get my vote for "Tube of the Year"!

Might have to get a 3X 10-arm worked set-up from them next time, they sure looked great, as did their new stemless>disc>tree tube!

And if you can't appreciate this, don't talk to me...

Get Ready!

I'm a little tired right now and still have a lot of work to do, but very soon, on the site will be a new selection of Wicked Sands worked tinys, now with splashguards! Some worked ashcatchers are coming later in the week hopefully, and I will be getting more Dosaglass sets up, the new Natey I just got in, some ti-arm bells from a local glassblower, amongst some other stuff I have been planning for the blog as well which I have been too lazy/busy to get around to. So check back soon, I will try to get all this done just as soon as I possibly can. In the meantime, here's a little quickie for ya...

Dustin killed it on this one!

Got some C6 GONG mouthpieces on the way, and some ti-arm bells from a local glassblower also... And Natey still & more Dosaglass oil sets & more Wicked worked ten-arm tinys as well as hopefully a few "pregnant" 14-arm tinys too!

Kind Creations!

Just got my new Kind Creations inline bubbler from Chris @ Heady Glass in Denver. Great shop, great selection, great staff. Memorial Day splurge, but man, is it sweet!

Goes back from the inline to what would normally be your mouthpiece, but instead turns back, in effect creating a first splashguard. Then there's another essentially formed by bringing the real mouthpiece back out so there's no splashback whatsoever. And there's even a little kickstand on the maria so it's sits perfectly, water or no; these guys thought of everything!

Perfect for either hand, fits like a charm!

Kudos all around to this Colorado crew!
Last of the worked tinys I have currently in stock on the site now; hopefully have some more after the weekend...

Memorial Day Preview...

After the holiday, when mail resumes, this is what we have to look forward to...

First, from Natey... (iPhone pics, but that's why this is just a PREVIEW...)

Elf boot!

When he said horns cut in half, I thought he meant just plain horns (being the simple thinker I be), so imagine my surprise (and delight!) when I saw these pendants!

And a fumed bub by Shen I am on the fence about (but leaning heavily towards adding to my order!) that obviously gets no justice from a camera phone!

Brock goodies sometime soon...

Ooohh, love the purple/white scheme on this one, might have to keep...

And some new stuff from Wicked Sands... this crew is always coming out with something new to keep ahead of the curve! Now they are experimenting with worked gylcerin tinys!

Another possible acquisition for SHINOBI?!? Zingiber makes some of the sweetest sherlys around in my book, and this new horned one is pretty wild! This 7-section fire & ice one she made for someone else is a real scene-stealer; look at those tightly-worked sections! And perfectly placed milli!

Caught her in action during one of her recent visits to the shop...

Keep an eye out for her work in the future; she's another new artist to definitely stay informed of her progress as she continues her lampworking journey...

Because sometimes...
