Tantalizing...

Glass...

New colours to play with since I FINALLY purchased my oxy concentrator. I hired one out last year but it got too expensive so I had to revert back to my hothead but now (since Wednesday) I'm back on my Carlisle Mini CC and she's a hot one!!!

I'd been slowly purchasing all the new silver colours (including the US$100 lb glass from Double Helix) so now I've got a nice collection of new colours to play with that will actually develop nicely in my flame.

At the moment I'm just playing around to see what I can get and I have to say I'm very pleased with my results. Also too, that elusive Raku is finally smiling. I'm in heaven!!!

I'm still trying to find that sweet spot in my flame to properly work stringer without totally disintegrating to poor thing. It's almost like starting over again...almost!

Anyhow I'm off to the club today and I'm looking forward to sitting under the nice, cool air-conditioner with a coldie in hand, listening to some jazz and hamming it up with my mates.

Have a great weekend...
