glassversary // follow-up

the other day i was watching destination design on hgtv. the show sends the homeowners on vacation. the homeowners take pictures of things that they discover while away. then, the host uses those pictures as inspiration for their room which gets a makeover.

during the show i caught, the homeowners went to austin, texas, and one of their experiences was glassblowing. the glassblowing just so happened to be at the same place that i took kacey for our glassversary. that’s when i also realized that i never blogged about our glassblowing experience! so, i thought i’d share the pictures with you guys now.


top picture – the tools  // second picture – tubes of glass // third picture – kacey working with the glass + the glass in the furnace // last picture – what we produced!

    Wow — I am blown away, Julie! Those are gorgeous. I am especially impressed with the stripes! I would love to try my hand at making some cute little vases if I ever take a glassblowing class again. Until then, our two paperweights will have to do :)

    Oh I LOVE transparent art. One of my secret passions :-) My favorite is the one on the very right, it’s adorable! So is your letterpress art by the way :-)
