The largest lampworked ship I've ever seen!

This is one of the largest blown glass ship I have ever seen. My partner and I made it in 1978. For more check out my web site flamework.com

UH-OH Compitition, now you will beat me, then I'll have to beat you, and so on. What fun!!! I'll give you a hint, short cut. It was too heavy to hold up and spin, after a bunch of things that didn't work we came up with something that did, We wrapped the hull with 2 socks covered with tin foil. Each end connected to a small chain that hooked to the ceiling. So the ship hung in the air at chest height, and we would spin it around and to each other and spin our lace with large hand torches.

nice man.... I bet when you told those "texas tales" about these ships, there were more than a few nay-sayers-wether to your face or not. I bet showing these pics to them was satisfying. amazing
