I used to make these with soft glass with vermiculite annealing and a liquor bottle top as a ghetto marble mold. With only propane and a budget torch it was a great learning tool
Hi Krista. I know there are a few videos on TH-cam that show how to make a jellyfish. Here is one that is really cool th-cam.com/video/-VlW70AaeJ4/w-d-xo.html.
@@FusingShop yes I have watched all the ones on TH-cam. But I would love to see your version. I like that you have narration and good views of what is happening. And everyone does their jelly's differently too.
Love the marble and brilliant video for my hubby to follow as you always give good clear instructions - did wonder if your camera should be above you so we look down on you working the glass instead of us trying to see through the flame?? Still really cool work honey x
Hi Nicholas! For marbles I never let them bench cool because they can crack. The problem is that the core stays hot for awhile while the outside is rapidly cooling down. The extreme differences in temperature do not make the glass happy and it will most likely crack if not put directly into a kiln.

I haven't used soft glass yet. I do some scientific glassblowing so I've always used borosilicate.
I would love to see your version of a jellyfish, pendant or marble, either one.

@@kx160 Ok Krista I'll add it to my list of videos to make. My next video is going to be sculpting a dolphin. I should have it up today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the video, I enjoy every video you put out 😊 and it looks like it’s getting warmer for you
Thanks for commenting Don. Yes, the weather is getting really nice now. Soon it will be super hot but for now it's awesome!

Thank you Jo! I'm always working on making my videos better so I appreciate the feedback.

Welcome Melinda!
Really like this video. Super helpful
Thanks Robert! Do you blow glass?
Noice bro thanks Rick 🥂🥷🏼
Thanks for the love Rick.
So can you just let it set to cool without it cracking?

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge Sim. Your glass trash pot is part of the same set of pots that i grew up cooking with :)
Lol, yeah that old pot really came in handy. I need to start using my scraps, they are really starting to pile up.
very nice looking marble, really enjoy your videos!
Thanks Seth! They are cool-looking and easy to make.
@@FusingShop i will definitely have to try this out with my hothead setup!
@@sethberes5970 Definitely do and send us pics so we can show others.
Hi Seth! You're the lucky winner of the marble from this video! Please e-mail me your address. yourock@thefusingshop.com
@@FusingShop Awesome! I will email you right away, thanks!
