I found this thread last week and just wanted to say thanks for the tut. I have been lurking around here for a few years and have had a lot of great tips but this one was one of the best and most fun to use. so thanks again brent. Here are some I made this week, plus a zen inspired pendant.
I also want to order your video but have to save up 40 bucks.
peace all keep the flame hot.

I watched your video on making an implosion and decided to give it a try again. I wore it yesterday and my doctor bought it right off my neck for his wife for valentine's day.

Mr. Smiley · #**213** 2009-01-18, 4:42am

One more day Nita... hang in there, you can make it!

Awesome work Jay... so glad you liked it. They are a lot of fun and you did great!

Sharon, a sale right off your neck is always a good thing. I'd look kinda funny taking that sales approach. I just don't look too hot with a pink heart around my neck. I tried, but strange men kept trying to talk to me.

I'm glad you liked the test video... can't wait to do more DVDs. This is gonna be so awesome seeing everybody's work.

I got my "big kid" torch set up yesterday (monday) and didn't get around to making a heart.
Had to destroy a few rods of glass first. PPP again.
Started out with boro, on the big torch, but it moved, so I ended up with a gifted HH
and fell in love with the soft glass.
CIM is my fave. Just about any color!
Anyway, here is my Newbie Heart.
In fact I made 2 of them today (tuesday)
after running all over hell's half acre for my Pirate.
Got HIS stuff done and came home to make these...be gentle!
Thanks again Mr. Smiley, Brent you are a gem!

Nitadee · #**217** 2009-01-22, 9:03am

Aw thanks Brent....do you have peeps telling you that your hearts look like Butts? GRRRRR! I'm going to try some more in a few days. PPP after all....

LFCookie · #**221** 2009-01-24, 11:05pm

Brent, I see that your basics dvd is out....when is your HEARTS dvd going to be out??
And at last count I have made over 150 hearts, that is pretty much all I make when I go to Aquila! (thanks for getting me hooked) Hopefully we will see you at Aquila this summer!

Mr. Smiley · #**222** 2009-01-25, 3:09am

The heart DVD will be in the works as soon as I get back from Tucson. It'll be a few months at the soonest, but I do plan to get crackin.

Will be coming to Aquila in the next few months as well. Have to shoot Don an email tomorrow.

See you soon!

malem · #**223** 2009-01-25, 4:11pm

I have been making hearts! 2 sessions!
It is SO MUCH fun!!
I really now found how to use gravity and dance with the melting glass. This is amazing and great fun. I took pics, just need to bring them to the computer and post them now.
I will try tomorrow.
thanks!!!!

malem · #**224** 2009-01-28, 10:56am

Hey Brent, do you have a date yet for Portland? I was at aquila last week making some marbles while i wait for my new equipment to be set up at home and they said they were not sure.

Whenever...i'll be there.

Donna P · #**228** 2009-02-08, 7:35am

Hi Brent,

I just got your DVD and it's awesome! I need a couple of tools then I'm off to try out your teaching. BTW, this is one of the best DVDs I've seen. you are a wonderful teacher!

DonnaP

Mr. Smiley · #**229** 2009-02-16, 6:38am

I haven't set a date for Portland just yet. I have to do that, but scheduling isn't easy. I'm trying.

Thanks Donna, i try my best. Let me know if you have any questions.

FLT · #**230** 2009-02-17, 12:09pm

Awesome tutorial...thanks Brent. I had a blast making these. Here is a pic of the first few I made. I gave a tiny one to my niece for her 6th birthday and she loved it.

Mr. Smiley · #**234** 2009-04-30, 7:13pm

Nice!

Marion&Maud · #**235** 2009-05-01, 12:17pm

I know I'm very new to this forum so I hope its OK for me to show some pictures.
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Brent for this tutorial, although I've been working with soft glass for a couple of years I've only been playing with boro for about a week so don't laugh! :0)
This is my second heart from this tut.

mestav · #**236** 2009-05-08, 6:29am

Rex · #**239** 2009-05-17, 10:01pm

Hi All
My name is Rex and I am new to this forum ( I live in Queenstown New Zealand). I only found this thread 2 days ago and I have read the whole thing. Brilliant everyone Really interesting as I have had Brents first video for a few weeksn now ant it has been a revelation to me. Extremely helpfull. I have just had a crack (if thats the right term) at the hearts. I cant get the fantastic reds and yellows from the amber purple but this is what came out.

Cant wait for the heart Video !!

Mr. Smiley · #**240** 2009-05-20, 4:15am

Awesome! I love coming back in here and seeing what you all are up to. There can never be too much love in the world, so keep making those hearts!
