I pulled tubes with my buddy Sean today and picked up the submit Ideas here box. Very excited to have these tubes. I tried to use all my color bar... which wasnt a bunch, Ali helped a little- so now I should get some color bars to replace what I used.

I want more of the (white looking) Iris Amber- its got silver in it and reflects light off of it one way (whitish) but filters light another- amber
I also want more dark amber tubes- cant seem to get enough of those... and cream brown- I used two bars of Ali's today. We pulled an interesting copper ruby that is now out of production too... It might be possible to melt a pot of copper ruby.

Of course more ruby tubes are always nice... but the gold colors are expensive at about $50-$100 per 30 foot pulls (more gold=more pink)

Excited to phosphor coat these tubes.... I wanna make a xenon Iris, gold and copper ruby one.

Excited to go through the Idea box.

Visited with students and gave slide talks two days ago- and pulled tubes with some very talented students yesterday. Gonna give another demo for UW glassblowing students today.

It's like my birthday came early with the tubes. Gonna make a video at some point to share the glassblowing fun- but Amber Mans an Skye Xollo were SO helpful, with Amber having blown glass since they were very young, and learning to pull tubes from my favorite tube puller in Tacoma.

I saw wonderful undergrad and graduate student work, seen here are Amber's "two truths and a lie" tubes covered in black glass powder and resist sandblasted through (I pulled some of that black/ brown). A studio visit with Morgan, a third year grad student was very neat- their ceramic and neon sculptures playing with texture, dementia, memory, and structure- integrating the neon and clay quite nicely.
