Its been 5 years since I set up this Nortel #midrangeplus 🔥 first got it around August 2011 but didn't have it set up until the beginning of 2012. I had no real outlet for inspiration and no help from any experienced glass blower so I just kinda did my thing and worked infrequently on the few things I knew how to do. It wasn't until the end of 2013 that I really decided I wanted to push myself and stop feeling bummed out by sucking at working glass 🔮 my princess @sierrasativa showed me that IG was more than just a place for selfies around then, and I immediately wanted to jump back on the horse checking out all the different work from artists I'd never heard of. This torch has been here for a lot of firsts and will definitely be sticking around for much longer to come, but I felt that a tribute to this bad bitch was necessary for all the time we've spent together before I hit the new mirage 😘🙏💖 #teamnortel #torchlove #glassblowharder #upgrades
