Hi AJ,
Just thought I'd drop by and say hi after going through some older fav's and coming across your older pieces.
I hope that all has been going well!

Hey stranger!
It's good to see that you're still active on DA.
Things are going OK, but they could always be better.

How did you get your first start in glass craft?

Thanks for asking.
You can read here about how I started working with glass.

AJGlass Β blows glass. It all makes sense now.
Nice work.

I don't blow glass - I use a torch to melt it.
Thanks.

Semantics, brah. That and I never knew you could get detailed pieces with a torch. It seems like it would clump up but, then again, you've had practice with it.
How marketable is glasswork? I've thought about getting into it to make pipes and stuff, but the start-up and time to get it right seemed like a big investment when I could only knock out a few pieces now and then and hope it would sell like a store-bought piece.

If you make glass pipes and sell them in Colorado, you could probably make some nice coin.

dayum that thing is awesome. howd you get into this?
Also i see you are asking people for opinions on what you should Β do with your pieces. in my opinion you should just go all out and go bigger and learn to make bigger glass sculptures. I personally love painting and drawing things in nature you could make a tree or a glass nautical shell ya kno?

do you take commissions or do you have a shop? 
π: 0 β©: 1
I sell most of my glass pieces at local shows.

would you be willing to sell online? (out of curiousity)

Have you ever considered making marbles? I've been looking for some nice, slightly smaller than average sized marbles, to add to my chains.
π: 0 β©: 1
I have considered it, but for me marbles don't sell as well as my glass beads, so that's where I focus my efforts.

Nice work, ever think of expanding to larger items?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks.
I enjoy working on smaller glass items since they tend to be more wearable.

I was admiring your beads, do you have a website???
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, and this is it.

hey your work's amazing.
do you make glass botles?.a. like little ones.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks.
Nope, I don't make glass bottles.
There's just no competing with the Chinese glass factories who crank out little glass bottles by the hundreds of thousands.

Hey buddy, love your stuff. Quick question how much does it coest you to say produce a thousand beads and how long would it take? If you had to do pattern how much extra and how much longer would it take 
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks.
There can be a lot of variables involved in estimating the cost and time it takes to manufacturing glass beads - especially ones with complex patterns, shapes, or designs.
Did you have something in particular in mind?
π: 0 β©: 1
I did actually how long would it take to produce say 500 beads with red beads with gold stripes in let's say??! x
