Thank you so much for this video. I am just starting into glass bead creation and saw some marbles at a glass shop. You are such an amazing artist!

Great vid. You answered some questions I didn't even know I had! I've only made a couple of small 104 marbles, but right away, I see I wasn't using the molds to their full potential. And your preparation of the maria, as well as horizontal marvering as you did the implosion was like, aha! I've only seen implosions held straight down to the marver. Thank you!

You glass artists drive me crazy not showing the completed project!

Awesome. Makes me wanna learn how to make things out of glass!

not an expert, but, jeremy trusty when it's red glowing hot you have to get it cooler b4 you put it in the kiln because the glass is still moving, if you put it in the kiln at that point it will warp. Jtrjules, 1) I think it was to remove excess glass and also to give the flower more depth 2) the poking was what created that ribbed look the flower has

That was awesome...so much skill and time, I had no idea.

That is outstanding!

Beautiful marble, good video, thanks!

good stuff.. thanks for the video guys. keep up the good work in the shop and with the mag. cheers.

I love it!

Awesome! Thanks for giving away your secrets. I will try to make it work for 90COE. Randall

Nagyon szép!Gratulálok:)

this is a great video you guys, I hope to see you at the second annual degenerate flame off! last year was some of the most fun I have had, and I hope that this year is just as good

That was really good!!! Now ima make one!! :)

that whole video and no close up of the finished product?

Thank you so much for sharing.

This guy has the most expensive glassblowing tools I have ever seen.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing

Gorgeous! Am I right to assume it takes very even heating of your bead in order to keep your implosion design even throughout the glass?

So dope, would b sick to learn.

Always thought these were done on tubing. Live and learn.

sweet thanks for sharing

I want one

hey whats your kiln cycle on med-lg marbles. Thanks for sharing, your videos are top notch!!

I would rather listen to the hiss of the torch.....

what artist is playing at the 2:30 mark?

COOL

Wow, that fire was so strong that it looked like a blue laser

Are you using concentrator? If so would i be able to use just one 10lpm concentrator for a mega minor torch?

Nice

I have a million questions but I'll only ask two: 1) at around 6:40 or so, he gathers up a bunch of glass.....was he making the marble smaller? or was this to stretch the shape of the flower? 2) an at around 4:35, he pokes the glass with the awl...what was the purpose of that...at the end I couldn't really see how it changed the implosion.

You gave courses workshops

thanks for the video...but where is the twisty demo to make a twisty that long and consistent??!!!! haha amazing

yeah...where's the finished marble? After 10.23 what a gyp.

So the cooling can be a slow and controlled. If it cools too quickly there will be thermal shock and it would likely crack. The process is called "annealing".

GTT Scorpion?

Boxfan the owner of AmericanHelix???

where do you find the large sized clear rods? I'm having a hard time finding that size on line. Thanks!

Next time show the finished product, seriously

wow, and i was attempting to be constructive critical.i'll take it as a challenge, give me a couple weeks an i'll gladly post a vid. showing more than one way to make a implosion. and as far as all the threats are concerned, i'm sure the flow would be very happy w/ your professionalism. never the less i live in grand junction co. please come attempt to feed me my torch any time.

Wait, I'm confused. From 9:40-9:50 what happened to the marble's "stem"?

Disappointing. I was expecting to see the final piece. Not a pink glowing flower but the true colors.

wheeere do i go to learn this kind of skill?!?!

9:00 round out the lollipop(marble);)

Where can I buy these?

Hi

ive seen people blow on it like you did isn't that bad? i mean the point of annealing a peace is to let it cool slowly so it does not break and your blowing on your peace lol

Songs please?

not impressed. all that equipment, and that was supposed to be a flower. wish i had a gtt and three or four marble molds. dots of alternating color make for a much more realistic pedal appearance, plus you should chose colors that have a similar "stiffness" or accept heat in a similar manner, so it slumps at the same rate helping to keep everything even. not to say the colors of dissimilar can not be used together, but.......... not enough characters. anyone interested pleases comment or e-mail.
