Eye cane tut is DONE!! Soft glass AND boro!!

[pipyr]

hey again all...I seem to be having problems getting e-mail through to some people. I am even using two different e-mail accounts, so I have no idea what's up. If you order a tut and don't receive it within 12 hours (I normally send it out within 3 hours) please send me a PM or an e-mail so I know to send it again!! Thanks again so much!!

I'm patiently waiting for pictures!!

Well, okay but they beads aren't great. I LOVED making the eye cane. I was also amazed that I did it exactly right and didn't have any thermal shock with that LARGE gather of glass that was my eye cane before I pulled it. GREAT tutorial!

This one is a blurry END of the eye cane stalk (Sorry, it's the camera AND the operator, I'm afraid.)



Then my thought was make a bunch of eyes on one bead to get practice at placing they eyes in a bead. The one on the left came out okay but the one on the right shows that I need ppp. It's the operator, folks... the tutorial is great!

Getting better..... love that ppp.......
I should add that the BLUE EYE in the first two pictures is off the cover of Pipyr's tutorial. I put my bead next to it for comparison. (Her cover bead shows in the first two pictures.)















more coming right up....not sure how many I can put in one posting so don't want to overload...

Oh, I should add that the eye canes were Pipyr's instructions on non-silver COE 104 glass.

Cool start, huh? Much better than my first time but they are using the same canes as the first posting up above. At least I don't think I'll embarrass or lose Pipyr any sales from posting these.

I'm happy!

Im going to be doing this tonight ..... to be used next week. Im now renting torch time once a week until my vent system is done.

I tried one. Need to do another. The silver leaf on my base bead fumed my clear lens and you can't see the iris.

And after taking a class (IN PERSON!) with Pipyr, these are EYES on parade for you. OK, wasn't being that creative in making the critters so, please, focus ONLY on the eyes.
