This flameworked borosilicate pendant is about 2.25" long.

I've been trying to explore some new shapes and styles of pendants. I don't have easy access to the larger carlisle torches that I used to use, so I've been making due with minor torches. They work, but it's a little slower going since I can't get up enough heat. I also can't make larger pieces, but I haven't really had a desire to make big stuff lately.

I use a minor and I totally know that feeling. I used to make huge glass beads and pendants at my glass class where both the gas and the oxygen pressure was massive. Now in my studio I run off of a house gas line and use oxygen tanks, so the pressure is far less and thus the flame isn't as hot. So I've had to be content with making smaller pieces. Admittedly though, it has helped me to refine my skills in that creating smaller pieces requires more concentration and attention to detail. As well, stringer work (and other techniques) is typically done using cooler flames so I've been able to practice with the cooler aspects of glass creation.
