I heard a rumor that Phiniac has made tank tubes that fit the lava tank. Anyone heard of this?
yay, we got our old thread back.
and... I got mail from CO!![]()
I had gotten 2 tips and one of them was this one...
anyway, from the pics it looked like it might be a gigantor... in person? it's small!![]()
it's justa tad taller then the small helix donut and only about 3/4" wide at it's widest point.
looks like a 3 piece donut too.
here's a quick and dirty shot. I included the flatmouth as reference.

It's a wig wag technique. The glass is done In Stripes, then heated in sections and turned one direction, then heat the next section and go the opposite way. The swirl in the top looks like a reversal which is a twist where the original tube is, then the hole is closed and moved. I think these are done as one bubble that is poked through in the center and and the sides of the hole are smoothed together.
OH MAN! You've got to make a Bert and an Ernie!![]()
Sedge - I would like neoprene also!!
Night folks!~!
Of these I have:
Iris (of an eye)
Rose
Hummingbird
and Stars
On Bart's left is a hummingbird drinking from a flower, and on the right is a dolphin. The star fish is a flower of some sort.
