check it out

Ive tried several times to make a glass striper and always came up short.. This is the 1st one that i am really happy with. The colors in a striper are so subtle its hard to match it exactly but i think with some practice i can get a good match- for example the back should be darker-

I'll just have to make more

Awsome! Can you make the mouth less salmon like? More bass like?

Yes- after it was cool, i looked at it and realized that i had made a salmon hybrid fish
I had to pull the lips out to give the head the final shape- next time i will trim the points and maybe even fold the lip over to give the fish some nice fat bass lips

Shouldn't a bass have seven pajama stripes?

Other than that it looks incredible.

Will these be for sale?

I'll be happy to field test
They look good. what about closing the mouth so they look like they are swimming not eating?
Might be a lot easier than trying to make a bucket mouth, no?

call me later. I'm going out Tstorm depending
