I know this isn't the right place to put it, but you can forgive me, right??

Well tonight, UPS dropped off my dream torch setup. A mirage and a rock-it pedal with oxy-bypass! It took 8 months and a small fortune to get it. I'm so very excited to get behind this beast and light it up! My goals are to start making marbles, get in to some tubing work like ornaments, goblets, and other vessels. I can't wait to just experiment with all kinds of different things!

And the best thing about it all????!!!! It was all paid for with money made from selling my wares. I think it's safe to say I have a self sustaining hobby. But it doesn't stop there; it's on my radar to legitimately take this full time. I'm looking for locations to open up a studio/classroom/retail space. I have grown a lot in this art form in the last year or so and I hope to keep learning and growing. I attribute a lot of my success as a working artist to the people of this forum. Thank you for all the support from each and every one of you. Your freely given tips, encouragement, and friendships are priceless.
Love, Justin "Cornbread" Baker
