@ResearchKitty - Thanks! Yeah, I really like her work. I guess she was a leatherworker or something so she comes at it from a slightly different perspective.
@dirtsurfr - I haven't cleaned it yet so dunno if it is easy or not (I'm a pretty light toker). Generally I just plop mine in boiling water and bingo...clean. I imagine this one will be the same.

It should be super easy to clean! A little iso will go a long way. The texture is from the removal of glass, not the addition of a layer, so you wont be "rubbing away" all the beauty of that piece. Clean it and treat it like any other!

Sand Blasted it is indeed! Of course, its not "sand" really, though, its aluminum oxide.
What do you mean what do I have going? I got lost there.

That is "hand made" Serendipity (Northstar Amber Purple over Northstar Star White), with white dots, then sandblasted. Since Amber Purple *is* a striking color (aka has metals in it!), the piece will fume itself inside and out while you make it. You'll notice a lot of my oil dome / slide have "fumey" looking joints, thats all the metal in the color vaporizing out and hitting the warm joint and sticking!
The reason we know its hand made Serendipity versus pre-made crucible double dipped tube is because of the lines down it. Dipped tube wont have the lines, vac stac tube will.
