Unusual? Yes. Totally fascinating? Yes. Blowing glass is a true art form and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to do it with friends! Even if I did sweat my tail off, it was a great experience. We should be able to pick up our pieces any day now... I'm excited!

Kelley in front of the 2000 degree furnace...SO hot. And the warehouse was not air conditioned! So it was hot. Even with the fans, the open doors, and the fact that it was a pleasant morning in Dallas. Still sweated my tail off!

poking my super-hot gooey glass in order to make little pockets of air (or air bubbles) in my piece
more rolling, more poking
So cool! I can't say what I made, because it's a surprise for someone, but I am excited to see the finished product! :)
