New to the community, first post. Some little planter mushrooms I made.
Hey everyone! I'm new to the community here at flourishment. Thanks for having me! I'm excited to see how this community grows! I'm a glass artist that works with borosilicate. Here's some mushroom planters I made the other day, for a farmers market later today.
The "amber purple" mushroom is a random bonk I recieved from a northstarglass bonk package. No clue what it is, but it's the same amber for the dots on the green(another random bonk, I'm assuming a "titan" variant) mushroom as well. Killer color. Other 2 are karmaline, one solid, one over clear.

Welcome to the community! Amber purple always has been and always will be one of my favorite colors! Also looks like some pink slyme in there maybe? How much do you sell them for? Also what is a mushroom planter, does it have any functionality?

The A/P's are always a good call, regardless of producer imo. There's just so much variation between them, and the colors that can come out are stunning. I love striking colors in general really.
These are just little mushrooms to put in flower pots, or really anything else you can stick them in, no real functionality. . We had one in a terrarium with a tree from(he passed, R.I.P.). Ive had someone request them as ear stretchers, but they never followed through with a deposit, so I havent made them for ears yet haha They sit between 3-4" including clear spike.
I sell the "button" style caps for about $30CAD. I aim for about 1" diameter, but I also do a more "Bell" shaped cap, that's 1/2"-1" thick, so I charge a little more for those($40CAD). They are available through messages on Instagram @ninjalotus_glass, Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ninjalotusglass?mibextid=ZbWKwL or I'll gladly respond to a message on here as well!
So, I ordered a 1lb package of bonks from Northstar. They are a random assortment of 1/2-2" chunks of their sluggers. The "amber purple"(based on color and striking) one was roughly beer bottle amber but slightly more red before I pulled it down, but I have no idea what the actual color is, maybe somebody here would know? The pinks are more bonks, definitely Karmaline, the brighter is solid Karmaline, while the more transparent is Karmaline over clear. Pretty sure the green is Titan V3(more Northstar bonks). All stems at NS Butterscotch.
Thanks for the interest and questions!!
