Hey blades, have been looking at a few different type of slides on Etsy lately as I've had a craving for a fire and ice color schemed slide. I'll be needing it in 18.8, and would prefer if it has a handle of some kind ( Disc, Horn, etc.). Anyone have any good experience with any particular blower in custom slides? I mean clean color work, and durable glass. This is the color scheme I'm going for.
I've seen some slides I really like out of color changer, such as the large round ones with the horns around the sides and color work in the middle. But when I checked his site shop, I didn't see anything in stock, do you know if he is still currently taking orders? Glasstafarian SSFG were looking pretty nice, and was even thinking about getting two because of the cheap price. As for DWB, isn't he quite backed up at the moment? And I haven't seen much of his slide work.
Hey just looking at some of colorchanger's work and damn, I think I fell in love with this style slide, color and all. But my heart kinda sank when I read "I will ship the items out within 2 days of recieveing payment excluding Sunday or Holidays or course. And with all of my Pipes Shipping is Free to US, I DO NOT SHIP TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY." . I suppose that means he won't ship to Canada?
I feel you man, i wish we could get quality glass like this shipped to canada, i know SOOO many people who would buy
Damn, now Talon707 has some NICE work! Im amazed I haven't heard of them before. Do you know if their open to custom work? And if they ship to Canada?
I don't even love heady slides that much but every time I see talon707's slides they make me want to buy a new slide because they're so nice.
I'd either go with Talon707 or Glasstafarian both are very highly skilled glassblowers and you won't be disappointied with your purchase. I've never ordered anything from Talon707 but I recently got a wig droop from Glasstafarian with a fire and ice scheme the linework was super clean (the pics on the site did not do it justice) and is overall a beautiful piece. Although Talon707's slides are amazing Glasstafarian would definitely be a better deal money wise and still be very good quality.
Glasstafarian is pretty good. He made my slide. It was 42 bucks shipped. http://forum.grasscity.com/attachme...05044-custom-slide-arrived-today-dscn0123-jpg
All the good Etsy artists have been named already!! I will let you know of others(I have a whole bunch of favorites on Etsy...) when I find em!
So far I'm leaning toward Talon707's work. Just waiting on a reply from him to see if he's willing to do custom work at the moment. Anyone know if Talon707 or Glasstafarian ship to Canada?
