1. Flame Working Demo By Brent Graber

Just some test footage. Thrown together in a couple of hours. We still have to make adjustments. Shot using an ACE lens to filter out the sodium flare produced by the flame. This is a demo showing a flame working technique called an implosion. You can view more of Brent Graber's work at brentgraber.com. Like I said, we still have lots of adjustments to make on this video.

Nice video demo..was directed to the site only yesterday by Jill Knapp. As I recall there was no audio at that time. Just curious about the colors used. Were they striking, plain or both?

I used striking colors. The center was blue moon or Turquesa... I forget which... then there was one of the obtaniums for a little sparkle... the petals were Silver Creek with Egyptian White Sands as the backer. The fine frit used to cover the back was Onyx... and I may have done a dip in Irrid frit as well. I hope this helps... Thanks for watching.

Looks good and I like the music.. who was the first artist? I especially like the clean, uncluttered workspace, a reflection of your uncluttered mine. Oops my bad, it wasn't clean. You are so cute in the video! Your earrings are gay though. You can hit me when you see me.

Yeah! You like that? I had him tidy up a bit before I shot the video. Good thing, right? The first artist is Brett Dennen, by the way.

The earing is hot... so not gay. You're just old and out of touch with what's sexy... now you can hit me when you see me. LOL

That earring is not hot.. but Buddy will like it. Wait til you meet this bird, he is getting tamer each day, and he's so sweet. When he's on your shoulder he'll play with your gay earring.

Great video! I have tried to make these with some larger, soft glass rods, but they never turned out right. Not sure if it was the soft glass or trying to follow a written discription on how to make them. So, now I will try again! Oh, and I'm not young, but I think the earring is hot!

Great video. Thanks so much for sharing your technique. You are a glass god! What is the torch, oxy/fuel set-up you used on the video?
Thanks again,
Debra

Hey Debra... I use a Bethlehem Barracuda torch and two Unlimited Oxygen concentrators to power it. I have the older M-20s, but the new M-15s will do the job too. ;)

Nice video! Great music! I had to watch it twice because the first time I was mesmerized by that not so gay earring! At one point I thought your sideburn was waving at me! HAAAAA! No kidding, this was great to see you work again! Your Omaha class was the best, haven't touched soft glass since!
