ReplyDeleteCan't wait till I can make a bowl like that. ;) You can take pics anytime you want when I do! ;)
Cool pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these...they reminded me of the time we went to see a glass blower for my dad's birthday about 15 years ago. Good memories. :-) Great pictures, too!
ReplyDeleteTera, when you start making bowls and things, let me know! I will commission you! :-)
Cool! A few years back I watched a glass blowing demonstration and found each step quite interesting. You did a great job capturing the process. :)
ReplyDeletewow! those are pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI will April...I've made a bowl...but um yeah...I'll let you know when I am "commission-able". :)
