nice!!! I made a couple shot glasses with flowers in the bottoms long before we met but i could never finish the rim of the glass. I like what you've done here. sounds like a great gift for the sushi lovers! and sweet pin tool pattern. The one i have does circles...i like your straight lines!

I've made a few shot glasses too... never got the optics how I wanted them... it always ended up being a big shot glass when I got it big enough to see the implosion... it kinda requires a tiny implosion... the optics on these dishes is the opposite of a marble... it shrinks what's inside... kinda cool.

come to think of it, I was trying to make the bottom of the shot glass like a pendant... maybe I need to make them like the dishes, so it shrinks the image... I may have to try that again!

Those are great, Brent!
I like the red blizzard (or whatever they call that stuff) and all the slyme, LePatron.
Yes, I've made a few dishes. I love how something as simple as the 'dish' has become an item to make recently... it has all appeared while I was off doing other stuff for a few years. It's pretty simple to make a tube implosion, and then just blow some of the tube into a cup... there you go, eh? What could be more grand?
Try as I might, I keep ending up making something more like half a coffee cup though. I'll post some pics sometime, I promise.

Sure, they don't look like tube implosions... I've thought about making some from rod, but probably what I would do is make a solid thing and then melt it onto the end of a tube. It's always fun to make items in every which way!
The ones I've been making work great for liquor. So, I guess there's not really dishes at all... except in the 'dishwasher' sort of sense of dish.

I tried to make a shot glass with a tube implosion tonight, but it went wonky on me. I turned it into a mini-ash tray. It's in the kiln now, so I'll find out in the morning how it turned out. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Sometimes I see really great work and it inspires me to do more, other times I see work so great I want to put down the torch. LOL Wow is all I can say about those dishes!

What color is the blue?
I can never get that color and I do love it. It is particularly nice with the orange.
