Glass works from J-Me

freeskierpj · 05-12-2012, 03:28 PM

These pictures are pieces that were blown by my brother J-Me. The photos aren't in any particular order although I know that the electroformed pieces are more recent than the rest because he just recently got the materials to work with electroforming his pieces. I will be updating this as I get pictures of more of his pieces. My brother is almost 17 so he didn't want to break the TOS by signing up for an account here so he wanted me to post up his progression thread for him.

Also he got high temperature enamel decals that say J-Me and he just got a sandblasting kit so he can sandblast the J-Me logo onto his work.

The rest of the pictures I currently have (continued from the first post):

He's been at it for about 8 months now and for that short of time on the torch (fully self taught) I'd say he's doing pretty damn good

8 months and he's already rocking a lathe and electroforming?!

He doesn't use a lathe at all his tubes are made with a regular torch. The electroforming he started about a few months ago and he just got a sandblasting kit so I can't wait to see what he's gonna crank out once he gets good with sandblasting and even better with the electroforming as well as his general glassblowing skill.

Yea I know...He really wanted to get into glassblowing so he worked all summer for my parents last year and saved every penny to put it towards his studio...He's slowly teaching me how to do some work but I live like 45 minutes away from him on a day with no traffic and I really only get in like 3-5 hours on the torch per week so my progression is going slower but I will post up some of my work as well even though it's nothing compared to his

Alright so I set up a Photobucket account for myself so I could keep all my pictures in one place and make them easy to access and easy to link on TC. So that being said I updated the first post to show the actual pictures of my brothers work rather than just a link to the album with the pictures in it...
