The first thing to do when making anything out of glass is to gather some molten clear glass out of the furnace. The next step is to always add a little bit of color onto it. So I think I will make a pink one with yellow stripes. So I am putting the pink on two sides of the gather and then I will put the yellow onto the other sides and we will twist it up in an interesting way so that we can have sort of a Tiffany 1930’s feathered look.
