And I picked up my glass from my glass workshop at Pine Lakes Glassworks a few weeks ago!
This is the glass mug Mr. Hilty made! I love it!! Actually, I'm going to use it as my own private wine glass!!
This was my paper weight and the first glass piece I made!
and this is the cooled finished piece!!! Isn't it great! Well, I think so!!!
Of course, sometimes you have a failure with your successes...and this was my ornament...actually, my 2nd one...I dropped the pipe holding my ornament and it broke!!! This one was a challenge for Mr. Hilty to try and blow to form the ball from the heated glass...why you ask! Because I was squeezing the end so hard it closed off the hole for him to blow into! Hmmmm So, I ended up with this! And it's heavy!!! It's glass folks!!
That is a very big puppy and very cute. Love your glass pieces. You did a great job for being your first time. Creative Glass Blowing Bliss...
ReplyDeleteOooooh that puppy. We had 3 of them.(Look at my blog for a picture) Here it is not allowed to cut their ears.
ReplyDeleteCool drooler...I mean dog ~lol~ I wonder what the purpose is for cutting their ears.
ReplyDeleteI like your glass ornie. Quite a conversation piece, don't you think. I visited a glass blower several years ago. It's an amazing art.

ReplyDeleteI love glass blown items and yours are even more special since you DID IT YOURSELF !! How fun. Are you taking special orders??? I love Great Danes....very large pussy cats. An author in our hometown wrote kids books about his Great Dane....Look up Stephen Kellogg.
