Sea Turtles made of Molten Glass!! See how we shape them by hand!

April 1st, show 312

This weeks show is all about the sea turtle! We like to choose animals and creatures that everyone can resonate with and understand the physical structure of them. It took us a minute to figure out the correct shapes of the turtles, and then how to make them in glass. We discovered we need to go in a certain order to craft the turtles in a way that makes them look beautiful and one of a kind.

These guys are adorable, small table top items and we think you'll really enjoy the process! Be sure to tell us what you think in the comments.
