A little more Glass Art

in #jewelry2 years ago

This post will briefly describe how I create (or attempt to) an implosion pendant out of solid glass!

I have been working on accomplishing this for over a year now, but have just recently gotten the proper equipment to be able to even come close at pulling it off. 😵

I use a 4-stud snubnose GTT Mirage torch, one of the biggest there is. 33 ports for an inner and outer fire that is basically a lightsaber, ask the Guinness book of world records. I will post pictures of this later when I remember to take them lol.

these are quickly taken photos while the glass was still super super hot, probably over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The color is added one dot at a time onto a clear glass bubble which is then super-heated in the center and then spun and heated around the edges to try and get the clear glass to implode around the colored glass in the center, dragging the color into these long threads to create an "implosion" effect. This is still a terrible example, but the best I've made so far@!


gotta get it really hot..

Like REALLY REALLY hot 😅


There is a picture of the torch, kind of. That is a small-to-medium size flame it is emitting now. I can bring it all the way down to the size of a needle, or up to the thickness of the torch itself and as long as my arm!!
