I can see Marilyn's calvin and hobbsian snowmen inside these globes!

 

[angak]

maybe she will make us some, now that her GBH project is done and she has all this time.

What a nice addition that would make to my Christmas ornament collection!

I shall add "learn to blow glass" and "build foundry" to my "To-Do" list immediately.

I wonder if it is possible to blow sugar like you blow glass? Wouldn't that be cool??

 

[Marg CDN]

According to Jeopardy last night....it is. My accompaniment to dinner-making.

Ha! If we ever take a walk together in the woods and the path splits, remind me to not take your

path as you always take the more challenging path in life!

 

[marilynfl]

Ha! That was such a sweet way of saying that!

Yes you can blow sugar pretty much like glass but....

I've never seen it come out completely clear. Also, humidity will make it get dull and 'frosted' pretty quickly. Most sugar artist use isomalt because it hlds up to the humidity much better - it's what I watched the Italian Pastry Team do their pieces with for the World Pastry Team Championship back in September. Absolutely amazing.
