then you swirl up some colored glass... In this case I'm making a marbled needlefish

At this point I've taken the needle off of the pipe and am fire-polishing where the breakoff was....Then it gets put in an oven over night to cool.

tomorrow I'll show a pic of the needle when its cold...

Capesams, in theory you could melt beach sand with a torch, but it would be soo stiff you couldnt do anything with it... my glass is sand mixed with fluxes to bring the melting point down to a managable temp-

Youngsalt it takes years

I think 10/0 hooks would work

different kind

to make glass you need silica (sand), soda ash and lime stone(fluxes).
Way back... like 5000 years ago, glass was invented on a beach when sailors (or surfcasters ) made a fire with seaweed and used limestone rocks to make a fire pit... when the fire got going the ash from the seaweed mixed with the sand and the limestones and in the morning the hung over sailors awoke to a pool of cold glass inside the fire pit... (or so the story goes)

VERY VERY COOL Eben.

Thanks for sharing that. I only saw a glassblower in person once in Austria I think it was. Really cool stuff.
And you guys work so fast, thats what amazes me, the hand speed.
