The Kraken Awakes

[Duke of Erinmore]

My wife who is a steampunk artist gave me this one yesterday:



It's a generic clay pipe and for the tentacles she used FIMO (don't know if it is common in other countries, kind of polymer-based modeling compound).

I smoked it right away with HU Moroccan Bazaar (didn't have any Pirate Kake unfortunately), looks and works great!

That was cool of her. My wife would like to throw all my pipes away! ?

You and me both.

That's very cool. Looks very, ehm, stem punky. I like it.
My wife smokes my pipes, but I've had to dedicate two pipes to her, to keep her from scorching all my pipes' rims.

Inventive. The clay pipe hot bowl problem solved. I like its looks, very fantasy fiction suitable.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Very cool. You are very fortunate. Like Bladesmith and @BROBS my wife would like to toss all of mine. I have to sneak them into the house in a backpack now to avoid a swift kick in the dick.

It's very cool, very original! Hopefully that's not her last one!

Way cool!

That's awesome!

Truely one of a kind. It shows a lot of love to take the time to make something with your own hands as a gift for someone. Almost a lost tradition in todays fast paced world.

 

[Duke of Erinmore]

Thanks for your nice and encouraging comments. I am quite sure that there will be more to come. I will show them from time to time, can't post a link to her webstore though due to forum policy as I am CLEARLY "affiliated" with it

I thought this thread was going to be about the new NHL team.

Frankly I would smoke it. But that's just cause it would be really weird if your wife just made me one of those. Unless she made it for you and you hated it. Otherwise... Now if someone I knew made it for me I'd enjoy smoking it very much. Please tell us how the thing smokes. Also if it's good she could get you guys some extra pocket change or something (though I assume you both already know that).

Nah, I just tell mine off. She can't touch my stuff. Or tell me what I can or can't buy. Lol

It smokes fine. Basically just like any clay pipe, plus you don't get your fingers burned. I'm happy with it. And as we speak, she just went to the box where I store a couple of unsmoked clay pipes, so I expect more to come.

Generally spoken, this year didn't run well for her art-wise because she couldn't present her creations at arts&crafts markets due to COVID-19. Lucky for us, sho also has an antiques shop on eBay that is doing OK.

That is a cool pipe! I like different and innovative pipes and that one is great. Hope you thanked your wife for thinking of you.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I think I've finally convinced my wife to quit buying me pipes and tobacco.

Mine just gave up her career to shit out a baby. She can tell me whatever she wants.
