Ok, I am back! WOW. There is just so much info that I can use! Sandy, I do not have tube, but I do have some blow pipes, and I will try this out, with a blow pipe,, OK, I do not want to give out too much info. But I guess you understand what I am saying!
I did my first blown vessel the other day, but there is now way that I could ever decorate it. Diana |
wow I too went to your gallery your work is amazing!!!!!! I can not wait to get to work. I have not been on the torch in a couple of days. First I am going to make some raspberricello (like limoncello) I need to get to work on xmas presents. I am making desk sets for DH's Boss and Secretary, Vessel necklaces (using your tut!!!!!!) with a small (teeeny) lock of baby hair for each of my sisters, and a plaque that has a raised design showing love so my grandmother can "feel" the picture she recently lost her sight and is devastated so she won't have to "look" at this just "feel" it. I hope to post pics here once I get started on the vessels. By the way where can you buy corks to stop them up? I don't know if that info is in the tut and I can't read the tut yet on my comp cuz it won't let download acrobat but DH is printing it out for me and binding it!!!!!!! Thank you again and I think that you a truly gifted person and artist!!!!!!

You can get your corks for here CORKS I love their rubber stoppers. They are really nice and you can drill the centers to put a glass stopper on. Just leave a tail on the glass stopper and slide the tail in the drilled hole. Add a drop of rubber cement before you slide it in and it will stay put. It really dresses them up!:waving: Quote:

Secret Santa
Hello, Im sitting here crying my eyes out because a secret santa sent me the pleated tutorial. I am so thankful to this person who ever you are this is so amazing. I never ask anyone for anything and it was very hard to send Sandy a message but I thought it would help me mentally alot. Im the type of person who never asks for anything and tries to help people as much as I can.
I have had the worst year of my life with being sick and financial problems. Things are looking better with my health but I still take it day to day. The financial probems havent improved much but at least we have a roof over our heads and my husband still has his job. The hardest part is he is gone every week out of town for his work and this week he left yesterday and wont be back until Nov 12. This is very hard on me because the family is so far away and my friends live a pretty good distance also. I didnt mean to go on but I know this will make my week so much better and get me back on the torch with something new to work on. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and thank you for listening. Sandy is the most amazing sweetest person for doing this and so are all of you. Merry Christmas Janell |

Ooh, I want this tut! Will have to wait and see if I can swing it this next payday. I love making vessels, but have trouble with much more than 'plain' as I am afraid to decorate them because I don't wanna melt em!
|
Sandy, what a fantastic tutorial! I'm brand new at this and loving it.
My wish list is simply "surprise me"! I love surprises! Thanks so much for your Holiday Spirit! Merry Christmas! Charlie |
Well, I've got one with your name on it when you're ready.. *snort* LOL . You'll enjoy it.. Well, I hope you will. :hide: I think you'll find it to be pretty easy too. I've seen some outstanding vessels made with it..=D>

Oh, Jims tools are niiiiice!! Go look, Michelle! hehe..

Let's see whatcha got in the way of vessels with this tut y'all! I'm waiting to see... *smile*
Anyone making any for Christmas presents? I've made several for all the ladies in my family and circle of friends and filled a couple with locks of their kids hair, a few with my EO's and one of my aunts has a dog that passed away last year and I put one of her puppy's baby teeth in it. Odd request but it works. My grandmothers sister ask me to put a pinch of her late husbands ashes in hers and seal the cork. So many ideas! What are you doing with yours? |

Gotcha on the list Venessa!! Great Wish list BTW!! I love all these lists. They are giving ME ideas too!! hehehe.. See there. There is something in it for me after all.

I have some ideas now!:hide: Thanks everyone!:grin: Quote:

I just wanted to post so that you don't think I'm ungrateful. Since my last post my MIL in FL was hospitalized going on 2 weeks now, in ICU since the weekend. I'm still trying to talk FIL into letting me come down to help him. I don't want DH to go cause he's still getting back on his feet after his recent hospitalization. And now one of my close friends was diagnosed with breast cancer. :-(
So somehow torching is the last thing on my mind. I think when I do get back to it, mindless stuff that comes easily will have to do for the time being. I'm having trouble enough concentrating lately. Anyway, don't mean to whine or bring everyone down. I just hate that Pam was so generous in buying the tute for me & I haven't done anything with it. Please know how much I do appreciate it & it puts a smile on my face every time I think of your generosity. |
Hey Pam,
She's in Delray. Not sure of the hospital. DH has the info. She showed signs of some improvement. Her kidney function has returned, thank goodness, but she has pneumonia & we all know how dangerous that can be for someone her age (80). Thanks for the prayers & everything. I see you're in FL as well. Whereabouts? |
Just bought mine
Hi Sandy
I just bought your tut and look forward to trying it out. My wish list would be 1) Catwalk grooved marver 2.5x5" 2) Zooziis Round knob press kit 3) Zooziis charm box press 4) Bearfoot art 4" hand stabilizer pair Thanks for sharing your knowledge and generous spirit. Regards Helen |
=D>=D>=D>=D>=D>=D>
I just (finally) purchased your tut Sandy, and OMG!! I cannot WAIT to try this out! (is it here yet?? how about now?) LOL!!! I wouldn't know what to wish for, hehehe!! but a REAL torch might be nice! I am on a HH but have the oxy hoses, regulator etc. for a "real" torch. I'll never get rid of my HH, but it would be awesome to have a torch to work boro...after all, I have something like 600 dichroic images that need to be worked! (is it here yet?? how about now??) :badgrin::badgrin: so I guess here is my list... 1) some kind of good oxy torch 2) any silvered glass 3)Brass marvering tools 4) new Lauscha clear...LOTS! hehehe Merry Christmas everyone!!!! I know I'm going to learn a TON from this tut!!! (how about now????) Nita:hide: |
