"Posting Glass Pipes on GlassArtists.org
----------------------------------------
Because non-functional pipe pieces have started to crop up I have further clarified the "no pipes" rule for GlassArtists.org. Functional pipe pieces may not be posted, and non-functional pipe art is allowed. A
non-functional pipe is one that is either impossible or would be very difficult to actually use as a smoking device, one that is a part of a larger art piece, or one that is so large, awkward, or otherwise impractical that it's very unlikely that it's owner would ever consider using it as a smoking device. I think to most of you who make pipes this distinction should be fairly clear but if you have a true borderline case let me know and I will consider it. Please note that I will not make an
exception just because a pipe is especially elaborate, beautiful, expensive or artistic, as long as it looks like it COULD be used as a
functional piece." -from site admin

thnaks Ben (Allen that is)
i agree with Mr. Allen. I did not put it here to upset anyone. Sorry. I did not include full shots, just close ups, to tone dowm the referance to pipes. I just want to build my gallery on this site too. I cant stop it from poping up on the front page. but if Justin doesnt want it there he will remove it, which he has done before (no complaints here). thanks*

allow me to debate... if anyone is still reading this...
You say: "many people (who happen to buy your art) hate the thought of their pendants coming from a pipe maker". If your customers are coming to this site to see your stuff, Why would they think you are a pipemaker unless there were pipes in your gallery? As far as i know i am the only one with any pipes on this site, and in my work the pipe is the subject rather than the object. Also, What about the last piece i posted referancing Rene Magritte's use of the pipe in his work? That, to me, is the most art like piece i have come up with, and it is most obviously the ever "evil" glass pipe. More obvious than this gallery. Does it not belong here? And Why does it matter if i am only challenging the notions of "a bunch of idiots" (to use your words)? this site is not being over run with pipes in any way. Personally, I feel there should be some kind of representation of pipes on this site fur sure, considering what they have done for EVERY lampworker. Whether they supported you finacially or you are just reeping the benefits from new colors and tools and torches.. Do you work on a GTT??? or buy GA color??? Respect the pipe. just my .02 peace*
