WOW! These are great. (Although the first one doesn't look symmetrical.) Can he do green?

Those look real nice.
I think the first one is symmetrical. One of the colors toward the left end appears to be about the same as the background and I think that the colors merged so that it looks like a dip in the tube.
Good going Jim.

They are pretty straight, I think it is the color patterns that make it look crooked. He is going to make some with dichroic and some with stringer spiraled around the body.
Green? Why do you ask? Color is dictated by what ever color is in the crucibles on the day he makes them.
The new contact is the master craftsman at the SDC Hot Glass shop.

I have some green stringer if he needs some. Rebecca |
