MUSHROOM RELATED GLASS ART! * 5
    #19215569 - 12/02/13 01:10 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So here is a nice one for all you shroomers.  I just made this the other day.  As some of you might know the cordyceps mushroom is a killer brain control mushroom that first infects the hosts brain before it is killed.  So as a glass artist i have been looking for something more unique, more 'me' to create.  And i love mushrooms, and in my opinion the cordyceps is by far the most unique and interesting mushroom. So here is my the first of my cordyceps series.

The other guys is my first character rig i made in order to gain the confidence to begin the cordyceps series.  Just thought i would share hope you all enjoy!

Woah, that is awesome. If i could ask you OP, how long have you been blowing glass how did you first start? Blowing glass is something that has always interested me and Im looking for a good hobby to take up/maybe even try to make a career out of.

Thanks everyone.  I started in 2002.  So it has been almost 12 years now.  Its a little expensive for a setup and takes a little while before you start making money, but it is am awesome job.

How hard is glass blowing? and how expensive is it to get into?

I've been wanting to get into it for a while, and I need a new hobby to occupy myself with.

@ OP -

I'm doing two secret santas on this board, exchanging gifts with a few and am looking for some gifts for family.

Made a thread in the marketplace regarding silversmithing/artisan jewelry but this stuff is pretty legit. Can you PM me some links to artwork you'd be willing to sell and prices? If you have any for sale I can help make your hobby a bit less expensive, also have a pretty straight trade list.

I was told that too. It is not really an issue.  People tell me not to touch the stove when its hot so i don't.  It is pretty much that simple.

If the piece is closed off completely you can actually inhale or suck in the glass to shape it or make it thicker. Opposed to blowing the glass which makes it larger and thinner.

Liquid Glass: I would definitely try to get into the nicer higher dollar stuff.  It is much more satisfying to be able to exercise you creative mind. And as a glass blower it is a good time to be.  We are finally getting more recognition in the art scene today.

Glass art has been a long time coming. Prohibition of marijuana and production of badass 'paraphrenalia' likely has given a bad rap with non drug users. There's a user here who I bought glass mushroom beads from like 11 years ago. A crazy ex-gf swiped some from me and I recently saw a facebook pic of her and she's wearing them :lol: He used a hook and wire to make rainbowed or specific colored mushrooms). You guys are a crafty lot for sure. I've got a lot of respect for glass blowers particularly because of idiot laws from people with personal agendas and the legality/sale red tape that comes with it. I really hope the market for artwork has more production and recognition. I bet mmj and state legalization in parts of the country will have (or already do) more glassblowers. It's a trade that's been around forever and timeless pieces of art have been made. Stained glass windows are a great example of this.

I use steel wool as screens (the kind with soap on it) and make sure my bong has cyanobacteria or some greenish slime in it. It gets you twice as high, perhaps up to 9000 times higher. Dobie or sunshine made a tek. PM Dark_Star for details.

LOL.  Liquid glass is talking about the colors i chose to use on this piece. 

As for an answer to that question i did use slyme made by Trautman Art Glass and also i used steel wool made by Northstar.  However i mixed the steel wool with a battery powered hand drill.  I mixed it down probably 1 to 5 parts clear and still obtained a really saturated sparkle.  Those colors go a long way but the mixing takes a lot of time.  And then you need to pull your own color rods.  It is a very cool effect though, you can mix just about any colors together.  If you add a little cobalt or elvis to your steelwool and clear mix you can make blue and red sparkle colors, and so on....
