Glass & Ornaments

Saturday morning we took off the little town of Kechi

They have a wonderful glass shop there  - Karg Art Glass Gallery

All kinds of beautiful glass

and you can blow your own Christmas ornaments

We thought this would be a fun project for the kids

You pick out your colors, decide if you want it swirled or dotted

It is an interesting process

Below are the colors that you pick from.  They heat it up and dip it in each color

(this one is Kassade's ornament)

and they stick it back into the fire to heat it up

 did some rolling to take shape

and then he started the blowing process

 Keyton's ornament

 Keyton got carried away with his

(I guess he had the most hot air)

 His ornament was very large compared to the girls

 London's ornament

 good picture of him twisting it to make the swirls

 putting on the loop for the hook

 London's was rainbow color

it was really interesting and fun to do

don't forget to take time to shop around - I found some jewelry I would love

if you live locally you need to check out the shop some afternoon
