Absolutely amazing! Such beautiful glass, where did you get the rough? I have a few broken vases I've been holding on to, thinking I might try this.

These are really nice! I think there is a point of no return where the zoomed in shot is so close the imperfections show up and maybe zoomed out a touch more they look better. Only on some =)

Only on some =) You are spot on Sax. For marketing they would be on smaller frames in most cases. Lots of bubbles in this type glass. Foreign debris too. |

You know what you're doing =) I was only commenting what I saw - that said - I think any macro shot is amazing. These aren't quite macro but they are beautifully close ups. |

Thanks for the compliments. Most of the rough I fused from a glass blower's junk and throw aways. Some are from vases. Some are home brewed fuses. They were all tumble polished instead of flame polished. |

Big photos were mostly for showing complexity in the melts for the most part. The mixes of mixed colored glass for the most part. Mix again and re-melting and it just keeps getting more complex. One of the glass blowers I get scrap glass from re-melts and reuses his glass which can add foreign debris and air bubbles. But the product he makes does not require clean clear glass like needed for vases and sculptures.  |

Nice jamesp. The one thing that I immediately noticed was the lack of shadows using this technique. Nicely done. |

Nice job on the photos. Wish my jewelry pictures would come out that good. My point and shoot doesn't do that great but I try.
