5 Fish

[Mike H]

Here are some fish i am taking to my first show by the beach.They are my biggest so far. I would like to find a glassblowing studio where i can make larger ones sometime.
I hope they will behave themselves...






Thanks for lookin'.

Thanks for the compliments.
Becca, These are all Moretti and Lausha soft glass.
I have to work really fast in the flame as i am using a National 8m torch.
My friend has a Beth PM2D that i might try out.
I still like my 8m though.
I really need to use at least a 1/8inch mandrel because last night i sought out to do a small fish and was using a 3/32inch mandrel but, it got a little carried away and ended up about 5 inches by 3 inches and the mandrel was slipping in my fingers when i spun it around in the flame due to the weight that it ended up being.
I'm trying to work my way up to lifesize.... Maybe in a gloryhole.

I love them! And they are especially cool on the pieces of driftwood!
