I made this glass flower pendant in the flame layer by layer, drawing each petal. The vibrant bloom "frozen" inside was created using an implosion technique that I use to pull the design deep into the glass, giving it a mesmerizing 3D effect.
I start each flower pendant by blowing a large, thin bubble of borosilicate glass, then draw each petal individually onto the bubble using fine glass strings. Once the pattern is drawn, I slowly melt the bubble down into a solid puck, repeatedly heating it with the flame and pressing it on a graphite paddle to sculpt the petals and deepen the implosion pattern.
