This is a very special and amazing thing-a glass figurine! Those are great big sculptures out of glass that resemble real flowers. These glass creations are extremely fragile, meaning they are all light and breakable, as well as being transparent, so you can see through them without much effort. Unbothered by time, glass flowers will never dry out, bend, or break. The beauty of these flowers is that you can keep them forever; they never wilt, and they look beautiful no matter where you place them, either in your home or in any office where you work.
Creating a glass animal figurines requires a glassblower to be both an artist and a scientist. The glassblower uses hot glass from a furnace, similar to a super hot oven. They also then mold glass and pipe different colors through so they will have the petals, leaves and stems of the flowers. They have to work fast because it cools and hardens quickly. That in itself is awesome, and that these delicate flowers can be created out of glass.
The wonderful thing about glass flowers is that they can be made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You can see small little flowers that are just opening, or you can see big colorful bouquets that are fully blossomed. They could be any colour that you can think of! Glass flowers can also be crafted to resemble any number of flowers, including roses, lilies, daisies, and so on. They are so versatile that you can use them to decorate all kinds of places, from your home to your office and even a special event. They make the day a bit lighter!
Just look at the way a glass flower springs to life when positioned into the light! The light plays with the glass, making it sparkle and glimmer. The colors and texture of the glass produces a beautiful effect that brings joy. Glassblowers select colors that you’d find in nature; various shades of green for leaves, bright blues for skies, and pale pinks for flowers. Flowers with these colors help exemplify the beauty of flowers, very natural and beautiful things in nature. However, glass flowers are much more than beautiful decor, they are true masterpieces that allow you to have a little nature in your home.
Watching a glassblower at their craft is like watching a magician at work! It begins with a blob of hot glass, and through the artisanship of their hands, it transforms into something beautiful before your very eyes. They have special tools, such as blow pipes to push air into the glass and tweezers to shape it like the petals of flowers. Next, they use various colors to fill in the pattern, which makes it so beautiful. After forming, they gently put it in an oven to temper. This cooling process makes the glass strong and ready for display.
