Eggs One and Two
These are two of the eggs that I made in the same off-mandrel lampworking technique class. Now you can see what the amber nests were for. The polka dotted one I made so I could practice dot control, but I left it in the heat too long and the bottom got scorched.

These were made by reaming molten glass with a graphite reamer. To make the frozen drop crown shape, I pulled out petals by using tweezers, a technique we use to make easy flowers in hotshop.
