Help with getting my implosion to spiral?
Hey everyone Ive been desperately trying to figure out how other artists get their implosions to have that gorgeous spiral to them. Is it from puntying up to the back or front and twisting it? I've tried this but it doesn't quite look like the spiral implosions I'm going after. Is it from simply spinning it very fast while imploding? If anyone has any tips or tricks it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!!

I'm trying to achieve an affect similar to this. Do I need to punty up and twist it or is from spinning the pendant very fast while imploding?

It is not from spinning the pendant very fast while imploding.
I have never done anything like that but the videos I have watched make me think this was imploded then twisted with a huge amount of glass added and then removed on both the lens and the back sides. It could also have been done on the inside of a glass tube and then condensed into a solid with rotations on both ends in opposite directions. Its a beautiful work but I can see an easy decade of experience in the skill of making it. |
^yes this, twist the top
I would post in the boro room if you are working with boro http://lampworketc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=54 |

Make 100 of them and it will become easy. It also will allow you to make them your own rather then like someone else's. Really.

So why not ask about it? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: |
Make a 100...but if you are making it wrong, you can make 1,000,000 and will still not be right!

Since no one actually answered your question - I will. After you have placed your dots on the maria and imploded them, get the back of the maria hot enough to make the glass move, then take a cold rod of glass (I like to use a smaller mm size - say around 4mm) and stab into the middle of your circle of dots (don't go too deep - just on the surface) and give it a half twist. Let the smaller rod cool and snap it off (wiggle back and forth until the glass snaps). Resmooth the back of the maria. You can then put on your backing color.
