How about some Reggae for this Wednesday. I have been looking for music to help me get in a rhythm when blowing glass. So I came across Outlaw Nation today. I enjoy some good beats that are steady.
So I do not want to keep talking about music and everything. You want to listen to some music. After all, why would you even bother reading this post.
As you might already know I have not been active on the torch this week. I think that I’m going to fire it back up tonight, providing that the wind doesn’t pick back up. there really is nothing like a 1400+ degree flame nipping at your fingers and arms. Burn hair just smells bad.
As promised to you yesterday. Here are the images of the pipes that I have made so far. They are only made out of clear. I am not really working with color right now, but I’m sure it will not be 2 much longer before I am. I just need to get back out there on the torch.
I’m a week into my 32 year. Yep, that is right, I turned 31.
I’m not really big on birthdays, as I know that some people are. My wife is big on them. She tells me it should be an exciting day, it was the day that you were born. I just look at it as another day.
This year I did get something that I never thought that I would get though. The wife got me a PS3. I was shocked and excited about it. I have been playing it almost non-stop. This is both good and bad, as blowing glass has taken a back seat for a little while. I just wanted to get some of the gaming on the console out of my system, and I’m impressed.
Well I have not been very active here, and I’m sure that people are happy about that, so i’m going to disappoint and not be sorry about it. I have had many things going on from glass blowing to a birthday, and other things.
I was linked a funny video today though. this lady is always a hoot to watch on YouTube. so I thought that I would share it here as well. Read more ›
I know that it is Tuesday and I should have wrote something on Sunday, but it is my blog. So there!
Saturday was a full day for me. I got out of bed around 8 am. This is really not the norm for me. I like to sleep in, but I needed to get to class. The class was at FlameTree Glass in Rosewell. I had a blast to say the least. The class was $175 and if there is anything that I took away from the class it was how to do a tube pull.
There were many other things that we learned in the class. How to blow a bubble, that was used for a Christmas ornament. How to make a perfume bottle. How to make a cup. I wasn’t able to really make anything. Why? I like to have things done right, and I just really wanted a round bubble. Every time I got close, it would go all wonky on me. So I really didn’t get around to making anything. I did walk away with a perfume bottle that Lance shaped up really quickly. He was showing me how to do it again. I think that I will get some torch time in tonight and I will try and make something.
