jhamilton sent me this link for tube implosions. Asked me to share for him:

https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi...a&refid=13

Also, I find a vid on youtube from Bashi Ale and he does his totally different than I had seen ... no point blowing, no bubble blowing. I think I might be able to pull that off!!

Ahh, still no answers. I don't know if the thickness of my tube is the problem or the angle at which I am imploding everything or the rate at which I am melting. Anyone?

I made a rather bad flower marble at the weekend. Went off-centre and my cane was too diluted and has also got all kinds of bubbles everywhere. (It was clear, star white, stripes of rust and persimmon strike, then encase - possibly should have left out the initial clear core). These are the better angles with the dot of rust on the bottom showing more colour, it's a bit washed out otherwise.

I hate star white for most things. Do you have Chinese white?
Only white I really use. Only way star white is useful to me is in
that serendipity rod, I think it's star white with amber purple over.

No, no one seems to have any of the Chinese colours in the UK. One supplier used to have black and white, but was out last I checked. I'd get some if I was doing a big order from the US, but I'm going to work with what I have for a while before doing that.

Hey Mary, Nice implosions. Is the halo effect from your colored glass, or is it a property of the clear glass you are using? I used to use Teal carnival, and I got that effect. I wasn't sure if it was that color or if it was the Kimball clear I was using. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave

Hey back at you Dave, the halo effect is caused by the silver glass, double amber purple. For those florals, I lay a very thin line of DAP then another line on top of that of Ruby 4, and inevidably I wind up basically fuming the DAP's edges while melting it in, that is what the halo is ~ fume.The yellow looking layer of petals is just straight carmel, it halo's out too.
I have no experience with Kimball, I've only ever worked with pyrex, schott, and simax which is all I use now. Lots of glasses will do this. Like blue moon, it gets a fuzzy look, sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it.
Your work on the fuming thread is amazing, kudo's to you. Tomorrow I am working on Jellyfish again.

A new one, even with the little bubbles I think this is the best one I have done. Anyone know why I got all those little bubbles?

Hey there Will, nice marble. Your bubbles are caused by air in the glass. Some glasses just have air in them already, but some glass tends to boil just a bit if you get it too hot while melting it in, then the bubbles are there. I find a lot of the lighter colors do that easily. Notice that the bubbles are more on the lightest petals? Just air, won't hurt a thing, I think the little bubbles are pretty.

the bubbles are from overeheating, try melting the lines in slower (like to the point of you getting mad its so slow)

I agree and as you see in your flower, white is one of the worst color as it has both tin and cadmium both that bubble easy.
One tip is to use Asian white. I know there are other problems with Asian glass but the Asian white is a very strong white that don't thin out and become transparent and will take a lot of heat without bubbles. It can broil on the surface but not as bad but as others so take it easy melting it in and then it will take tons of heat after it melted in while you implode it with out bubbling.
Its the white that John Kobuki used in the youtubein post 121 at the top of this page.

But i will add that a few surface bubbles on a flower looks like dew on the flower.


hear is a Asian white rose.

Really nice marbles Mike. What color combo did you use for the orange petals?
So pretty.

Ok, ok I read and reread these directions a couple of times, don't these both make the same combination?
Cherry red encased in northstar CY
is same as:
Canary over Cherry

Right?
Looking at it, looks like the red is the outer color on this stringer?

I love the subtle difference. Some have edges of red and the outside ones have yellow edges. It gives more dimension. I will try some cobos.

Tried out your color combo today, very pretty.
This is yellow over red.


This is some Aqua & turbo cobalt I have been playing with.

Great pendants Mary! The peach color in the first one is fantastic. I would love to see the second one in sunlight! If I ever come up for air from fuming, I'll have to try some flower pendants. Very nice work(play)!
