There is the trying to stick bits of already shattered glass into a glass rose look-alike...that sort of failed badly - for one, none of me or my mates are art sculturing students (in fact we're all audiovisual geeks)...and for two, it was(and still is...and will always be) a hard shape to mock. With the various layers of 'crystal' and the complexity as layers went on...it was impossible! All we had were superglue, hair dryer and well...many bits of shattered glasses...
We then tried using playdoh to mock the shape and make a mould. Again this was an embarassing failure. It should of occured to me much earlier prior to even trying. The shape is extremely complex and it was hard to make a mould that would fit together in the end to make a whole rose.
So after about an hour or two of gluing bits of glass (which was pretty fun) me and my beloved team just gave up!
Instead I've bought a rose online that looks similar to the real thing and I'm going to 'shatter' that instead.
It sure made me appreciate so much more the art of glass-gluing and glass sculturing. If only we had a glass melting torch gun thingeymajiggy (i know that's not a word, shut up y'all)
Conclusion - Was a good laugh and sure is a good sunday afternoon activity.
