I blow. glass.

May 29, 2008 | Category: I'm a DesignHER, I'm a Traveler

So last week the Interior Designer in me got treated to a couple of special days down south in Georgia. After the airport drama was over, we were on to our next adventure. On of the highlights form the trip was a chance to blow a little glass.
I blow. glass.

First, we get to pick out 2 of our most favorite colors from the tiny shiny in the tins. I choose an orange and cream, goes with my home decor I guess.

I blow. glass.
Now here was the fun part. Our instruction was serious, all business. But, whew, he didn’t realize it, but he was in the business of making me laugh.

Glass Blowing Instructor Man: “Get on your knees. Blow. No, blow harder! No, stop, you’re doing it all wrong! Don’t blow so hard, your ball is going to burst…you don’t want that. It’s not gonna work if you don’t blow harder. Keep blowing… Ok, just right. Now don’t touch it, you have a really hot ball there.” Seriously hard to perform like that, I’m not a machine.

I blow. glass.

And after all that fever of instruction….my hot finished product gets a little final touches before hitting the cooling bath. In all reality, I needed a cooling bath after that. Hot stuff!!!

This post was again sponsored by the coolest carpet company south of the mason dixon line.

    Well, I would have to say that we are the four hottest girls he ever had on their knees before! He was all business though wasn’t he? It can get very serious when it comes to very hot balls.

    At least he wasn’t afraid to tell you exactly what makes him happy! Beautiful ball. Going to be a Christmas ornament?
