Art Glass Drip Tips

[GlassyFreddy]

this technique is called a reticello, where two segments of tubing and laminated together. If you look closely you'll see little bubbles encased in between the two segments. It's a two inch bead. I look forward to attempting to make some smaller segments like this, emphasizing on attempt! very difficult to create it in a smaller form.

Welcome Welcome Freddy. It's lovely to see all your pieces of art, everyone on this forum are lovely and the community is pretty tight so Welcome again.
Sorry to hear about your back I live with a pinched nerve and crushed disc and it's not funny especially in the mornings before work. I look at my drug cupboard and think "What pain killer will I take today"
Winter time is my worst time and I have a few days grumbling to everyone here when I feel like "SSS"
Where are you Bill I need a cuddle?
I definately need a new short tip. I got some new mods coming and they need the "Trippy fix"
Any for Sale let me know.
Well I am off to work got to look after a 4 year old who is Autistic today. He is a real cutie I just love him.
Have a great day everyone.

These are mesmerizing pieces!
Bert, you already have my wish list-lol.
After leaving VaperCon last year we stopped in my hometown of Fayetteville. I had forgotten how pretty NC is but I love the warmth of FL.

Freddy -- Gorgeous works of art! I'm a glass lover too, although most of my glass is in the shape of felines lol.

Hey Tripsters -- guess what came in the mail today? It's here, it's here! It matches my shirt so well you are going to have to squint to see it, but it is waaaaaay cool!! And Bert -- YOU are waaaaay cool!!!

I'm sorry -- I can't get this picture to post smaller.

Yes Freddy welcome!!! Now enough chit chatting and get back to making some tips Keep up the nice work.

Well Helloooooo Sun!

Looking good!

Brutus I think it looks great with the carto. Piece of art on a thread IMO. It's amazing how talented people on this thread are. I also design and make jewellery for some fashion designers Downunder and used to teach jewellery making.
Now that I am back at work full time all that has gone by the wayside.
Morning Bert.

Use a pipe cutter and take off most of the carto, Brutus. Use one that is shot and cut it down to size. Be sure to put in a rod to help the carto keep its shape while cutting.

Welcome Freddy!!!! I am in awe of you folk who master the flame!!!! I have been collecting glass for some time from various artists. In fact I am sitting under a very large lamp done of glass trumpet flowers with hand worked bronze fixtures. Thank you for sharing picutures of your work with us today! And thank you for all of the assistance you have given Bert with the Trippy Tips.

Hz - we are going to eventually move back to Jacksonville NC .... it is warmer in NC than HERE at least. LOL
How do you like the juice?

Sundrinkr - that looks great!

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I am letting it steep, Blu. I had it a while back and as I kept going back to it, it just got better and better. This time, I am going to leave it be for a bit and then when I open it the taste bud gods shall be upon me!

Dragonvap-That is one of the things I fussed at the smoke shop owner about. Not being able to tell me who was the designer or anything about the piece. If you are going to have works of art of any kind-you need to know a bit of its history and how it came about.

Yeah!!!!!!! Then you'll be over here with us! Thanks -- I absolutely love it. I may take Hz's idea and try to cut down a carto so I can wear it both ways.

Well Helloooooo Sun!

Thank you very much, monsieur

Well, Bert I truly respect the regulations this forum has. They have most likely the most professional foundation I have seen in a forum. I actually have shunned away from this format of communication many! times, because of the lack of professionalism and poor behavior I have been exposed to in other forums (not e cig related) All! that said, thank you guys, thank you ECF and please, I am only a fabricator of art, my involvement with you all will be in relation to what I love , who I am and getting to know you all as well. If you have any professional ?'s about ecig drip tips or any ecig related items, talk to Bert, he's the man! Don't try to send me messages, or ask me to create something for you...talk to Bert. I don't wan't to disrespect this forum and also would not like it. Anything else???? let's talk ok, kool. Now I must create.

Evening Tripsters..........How is everyone ?


See Blu....^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you gotta' behave now

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Find a punch or a pen (that you don't want) that fits real snug to keep the end of the carto round. That has always been the hardest part-keeping that end round and not squishing it any. Dowels work, too.
