The Great Glass Pumpkin Madness

As Mother's Day fades into memory, with the pitcher done, I will begin the long and repetitive journey into pumpkin land. Lots of color experiments from last year as well as some new ones will be incorporated so that at least, even though I am repeating the same motions on the pumpkins, I get to experiment with color.  With glassblowing it is always a quest to find new and awesome color combos and reactions.  So far I have two favorites: a yellow/aqua and red/gold.  Need to find some more that work and call to me on that oh-so-deep-soul level.

Colors: 

  • Apple Red
  • Metallic Aqua Blue
  • Coral Red
  • Iris Yellow
  • Iris Lt Yellow
