Glass Blowing

Okinawa is famous for its glass, and there are glass blowing factories all over the island. Me, Lindsay, and her friends got to participate in a glass blowing workshop when they were here and I just went last week and picked up our finished products! I was very excited. 

First, you blow the red hot glass into a mold...
Then they cut off the bottom of it and stick it back in the fire...
 And then we shaped the tops of our glasses...

And VOILA! 
Watch out, Dale Chihuly. I am on my way to being a glass master.
