This week at work we have had the global SEO team visiting us in Bellevue. As is now traditional you have to do some sort of activity which can be classified as “team building”. Awful stuff. To make matters worse I had to think of the team building activity.
On Wednesday afternoon we went and undertook the aforementioned activity which was … glass blowing. I’m not sure why this area (Seattle and Tacoma) appears to be so famous for glass blowing, but it is. We had 4 hours in the afternoon across which everyone in the group created a couple of master pieces.
For my first piece I had asked if I could make a glass version of the Space Needle but the answer was a clear no! Apparently making the Space Needle is not straightforward so instead I made this:
I would have preferred more of a Mario Kart style mushroom but this wasn’t bad.
Next up I decided to go for a sort of shape type thing! It could be a vase and it could be an upside down thing that sits on the side:
The colors weren’t quite as vibrant as I wanted but even so it wasn’t a complete disaster. Harry thought both pieces were really good. I’m not sure Tracy was quite so convinced. Shame one is her birthday present and the other her anniversary present!
I think you have made a big mistake in showing both of your ‘objet d’art’. You could have probably got away with it by saying they came from Macys !
ps……Good effort anyway. R
An impressive darning mushroom and paper-weight!
