time for some show and tell.
earlier tonight, i received my first burn from glassblowing. as instructed, i didn't pick off the hot wax that melted onto my skin. supposedly that makes matters worse.
olivia is making me post the meaty close-up:
for the curious, the burn was caused by the jacks, a metal tool used to shape a glass vessel. i carelessly put them back down on the bench just after using them, while the metal blades were still hot. although the glass is usually between 1000 - 2000 degrees when you're working on it, the metal tools probably get to a few hundred degrees.
as you can see, the shape of the burn is roughly the same shape as the blades of the tool on the left:

You should make one that has a mushroom in it with a bud leaf wrapped around it. Then you can put it in a hemp bag and sell it at Oregon Country Fair.
