Here's what you haven't seen .I am so damn frustrated lately.I am having one out of
every four glass balls break.There are no two pieces of glass the same since they are
hand blown .Some glass is thicker, others are thinner .Some glass floats weigh more
then others do .There doesn't seem to be any consistency what so ever .I guess I must
really consider the source.....China .My glass cutter as stated the glass has blown
like there was air or pressure in them ...which I guess is possible since they are
hand blown.I just have not had this many break before.I guess you could say I have
really been busting my balls trying to get this done the right way !
Stay tuned.... puffer fish inside the glass float lamps are in the works.
If If am real lucky I will have several completed for Tiki Oasis .
BTW Velvetglass or any of you that work with broken glass as a tiki art ,
I can save this broken glass instead of tossing it .
