Always wondered why the Almighty made Its only son an ape, but at least a great ape.
Anyway, evolution of pipe technology continues
I had a happy accident with a breaking glaze on a cone 5 fire. The glaze broke at the edges and pooled in the facets of the original 3D print surface.
This is a cone 5 purple glaze that goes red at cone 6. I took it to cone 5 but maybe I should refire in the kiln. I've already people suggest I do a underglaze wash and then apply this glaze. I've also yet to explore underglaze paintings. Make them psychedelic because pipes anit just for smoking weed anymore. Toad. Shrooms. Mescalin. At any rate, this form wins. The turtle wins. Jellybean second, golf ball third.
For some reason, the thinner casts smoke better. Thinner walled slip castings. My suspicion is it feels lighter and you expect less of a draw from it. The bigmouth carboretur is the way to go.
Perhaps some instructions are in order. The volume of the pipe is the average human mouth, for maximum suck. So you suck in a mouthful of smoke, pull away a fraction and sip it.
Suck and sip. Suck and sip.
doesn't seem to have worked very well to give everyone a get out of hell free card.
ReplyDeleteand I do like these little pipes.
I'm getting 5 star reviews on the draw and smoothness of smoke. I'm realizing this would not be so great with 1970s weed. Seeds and stems and powder.
