tags: blown solid paperweight flower vase pineapple-mold
This week's efforts saw some use of the pineapple mold. I made a bubbly paperweight with it.
This gave Lucas ideas. He blew a bubble into it, which fell into the furnace when he went to gather over it.
Undeterred, he tried again. This time, he turned it into a pretty awesome looking giant vessel thing.
Unfortunately, that piece died right before it went in the annealer. It did prove the concept though. It's possible to blow into the pineapple mold and make a bubbly glass.
Incidentally, annealers are important. Here's our stuff along with the 2 colorful paperweights that were in it when we started:
And, just for good measure, here's some more video of something big and round getting abandoned.
