Boro/Pyrex Glass pipe Nightime cherry blossom tree scene with moon and shrooms

Description: I make these by blowing a nice thickness handpipe out of dark cobalt tubing, then sculpting the tree onto it. The mushrooms are a murrine image cane that I also make, and they are below a small dome of clear glass. I make the tree gnarly and twisted and only melt it enough to smooth any roughness, and to fuse it securely to the pipe body. The stars I also only melt enough to make sure they are fused securely to the pipe. So you can feel everything that is on it except for the moon and the mushrooms, and it gives it a nice 3d look. Each one takes up to 2 hours to complete from prepping the colors and other materials, to sculpting the tree, and adding every little cherry blossom and star. The color I use for the tree trunk is made with silver, and as I'm working it some silver fumes onto the pipe giving that nice blue haze around the tree. Each is handmade of course so there is some variation between each one, but I make sure each is quality.They can vary in length a little, but they are pretty much mostly between 4.5 and 5.5 inches long. I make sure the hole in the bowl is about 1/8 inch max, and doesn't vary much in size either way. I normally put a carb on the end, but if you'd like a side carb you can always add a note with your order requesting one. I usually make pieces the same day an order comes in and ship the next day, and it normally takes 2-3 days to get most places in the country. Unless it's near a holiday. Near christmas sometimes it can take a week. I've had very few breakages in the mail, but a couple times the package had tire tracks on it and the piece was broken. If that were to happen, just get a picture of the pipe and package, and I will either refund you or make a replacement and get it out to you asap. Thanks for checking out my work! And thanks for supporting American glass pipe artists. The more orders we get, the more we can work on innovating new designs. The chinese and indian glass shops just copy american designs and never advance the craft.
