A glass flower vessel

 I was just playing about in the Hot Shop today, with no particular end product in mind, I was just allowing the glass to become what it wanted to be.

I took a couple of gathers and rolled it in some frit, then blew it out to create a bottle or a glass…. Wasn’t sure which.  

Then I decided I would cut the top with some glass shears and push the glass back on itself to create a petal like effect.

Although not very even, it was my first time using glass shears on this sale (I have used them with Lampworking before) so it was all very experimental.

 

And I quite liked the result.
