ten pounds of boro twistie looks like this...
 
well, this is actually 6.5 pounds... I'll snap a final shot in a bit...



This was a ton of work, but I'm getting the process down... hopefully I'll be ready to share soon... one more project in a long list... :D

patienthand 2011-01-12 6:43am

looks like tons of fun, I am so jealous. Enjoy my friend....

lysa 2011-01-12 6:46am

Dasi 2011-01-12 6:49am

Done in a furnace!? Just curious. They look great. Love the colors.
Can't wait to see how you utilize them.

OoooOOoooohh!

I can already tell those are going to strike really pretty -- look at that top one!

Mr. Smiley 2011-01-12 9:00am

Thanks guys... as promised, here's a shot of all ten pounds...





Dasi 2011-01-12 9:23am

They looked so much thicker in the first picture. With the money, now you can see their true thickness. Really beautiful. I can't wait to see the pendants you make with them.

sangell 2011-01-12 1:24pm

Cant wait to see pictures
 
Like everyone says, can't wait to see what you do with them.
Or you could just pack them all up and send them to all of your lampworker friends.....:wink::wink::wink::wink:
I will try and get a pendant back from my friend and post a picture. I did a "non so tight" twisty.

I could still use one actually... you're invited too...

Love you both...

DanG 2011-01-12 8:14pm

What are you going to make with all of these? DanG

Imaglassgal 2011-01-12 8:26pm

(watching with interest)

Those really are beauties! I'd definately try the "lick technique" to claim one or two if I were closer.

Mr. Smiley 2011-01-13 3:23am

What makes you think i didn't already lick em? :lol: besides, spit burns off in the flame...

Dan, I make and teach a pendant I call Event Horizon... they require a thicker tight twistie... and honestly, the twistie is the hardest part... takes the longest to do as well... this should help me make more and hopefully when i get it dialed in, i can share some of my twisties with other people... I'm not there yet... have to test these first... :D

BellaBean 2011-01-13 5:03am

They are so pretty!!! I want some. My twisties suck big time! Every so often, people will ask me to demo something and almost every time, the thing they want to see involves a twistie. It makes me nervous as hell, which means the twistie ends up even worse. LOL!

Seriously though, beautiful job Brent!

Brent,

We NEED a picture of Event Horizon..... please and thank you.

Love, love, love the twisties.

Copperrein 2011-01-13 5:23am

Those are sexy

Otter's Flame 2011-01-13 7:39am

I think there are some of his event horizons on his website on THIS PAGE. They look much better in the photos, in person they are terrible!!! O.K. I admit it... I hate Brent because he is so freak'n talented.... but he's my friend.

Nitadee 2011-01-13 11:29am

I love the twisties and LOVE the pendants, and omg cannot wait to see where you go now Brent.
And yeah Otter, I thinks I hate him too, just a little bit :D

tnehlers 2011-01-13 12:00pm

Those are awesome. Very uniform.

sangell 2011-01-14 6:41am

My pendant with Twistie

In my previous response I said I would send a picture of the pendant I made with my twistie attempt. I can't imagine how great the finished pieces will look with your twisties.

OK here's my newbie attempt.

Thanks
Suzanne

Mr. Smiley 2011-01-15 3:00am

Nice job Suzanne! :D

I got to play with two pendants using these yesterday and they're very cool... hopefully I can do a few more this morning before we go camping... :D
