The back of the Orb exhibits three segments of my artwork, surrounded by Mr. Yaun's backing. In the middle of the Orb is James Yaun's signature milleflori cane.
Delilah, I think those shorty cartos are so funny! They hold about 15 drops. Remind anyone of something they used when they first switched to e cigs? I'll give you hint: blue foam? pyramid tea bags? 
View attachment 85980In order to fabricate Bert's Trippy Tips, I had to devote a tremendous amount of research. I had to "see" my dialog with glass in such a minimal perspective, that it was humbling to see failure in my control skills at first. I now hold such a deep degree of respect for Bert's capabilities and skill in creating an item that is so challenging for someone like me. I have studied, researched, taught and learned glass lampworking and cold working for close to 15 years now (since 1997) My best teacher (Matt Eschuke) taught me the right technique, the value of control and importance they carry. He taught me that if you can create your dialog with glass in the smaller of forms=to the largest of form you have mastered technique and form. So, here they are. My microcosms of glass, my little paintings, my dialog inspired by Bert. I am honored to be creating the trippy tip and proud to say I have learned the most valuable lesson of my career doing so. So, thank you tripsters ...you have made me a better artist.

GAWK-GEOUS!

I was hoping Freddy would show some close up pics of that orb. That thing is super awesome! I wonder how long it would take a couple of skilled artists to do something like this?

Freddy your work is beautiful I love paper weights I get lost in them and love all the color and depth they have.
All is well downunder.

Thanks buddy, how much shorter than the shorty carto is it?
Vintage, I hear vegemite is good for the skin. Yummy stuff!
I'm munching on peanut butter pretzels. Wonder if a tad of Marmite be good (Marmite might)...

do you have dimensions on shorty carto? i came in late and didnt see it. ill measure the 357 for you
the 357 is exactly 1 inch from the top of the barrel to the bottom of the barrel..then there are the threads but they would be screwed in. so 1 inch long
Thanks Sooner, the shorty carto is about 7/8" so it is just a tad shorter so that doesn't work. but I appreciate the offer.
hey all, this is the purty tip im giving up in search of my perfect match that i think ill find tomorrow
whats really wild about this tip is inside it appears to be dark green only but step out into the light and the silver sparkles. shoot me a pm if interested in a trade.
