Craftsmanship. Technique. Intrigue. Form. Concept. non-conformity. All of these are values that I feel make one's work pertinent.

At times I concentrate on design and form, repeatedly producing a blown shape, aiming to create it with control and uniformity. I explore the nuances of each shape that I come across in the process. Other days I watch the glass and follow it's lead. However, without the ability to bring out symmetrical, balanced shapes at the torch I would feel no license to let the glass speak for itself or just hang where it may.

I mean to express in my work a conscious and purposeful execution of these ideas.

Very original idea
You did such a good job I really had to look at them to be sure they weren't the real thing. The doll pics are great too.

t-hanks and suc-h
yeah, a little bit thicker this time Dr. nick. how are the feet? i'm excited to see how perfect they are going get.

yes ma'am, you do. and the most inspired. i have a favour to ask however, can we keep the talk about the hearts private? i have a reputation to keep here y'know..

with a stipulation i will, Pakoh: if you make the hanger using 2" in length from a 1" diameter rod.

PGW to the hizzle. i'll definetely get you some work sometime soon. i have to work out the installations with these bottles. know anybody that can make a 40 gallon glass trash can??

nice to hear from you justin, many accolades are due for your constant toil regarding this site. you provide an invaluable network that i'm due to show you my appreciation for. Thank you.

cool stuff.......
I've got a freind who does scientific glass that could probably make a glass trash can........i've seen him throw some 400 mm capsules and such just around the size of a trash can...just gotta flatten it put a lip on it and throw some handles on it.......it wouldn't be too tech-neckly challenging,but it would be pretty expesive for the piece of tube and the gas to burn it with.......i don't know how serious you are but it would be a pretty sick piece to do.
It would be sick to use green and amber tube to make some recyclables for your trash can.....!
Thanx for sharing your stuff!

3rd post . . .
I meant to say I see lots of people still doing this tech. at my school, and I've seen stuff similar to this size you speak of made, so it's definitley conceiveable. Later bro-crispy.
