Prepare a Core Bubble in a gather of glass |

|
  |

|

|
  |

|
Starting to pick up the fused cane onto the post on the blowpipe |

|
  |

|
Now have more than half the cylinder picked up |

|
  |

|
  |

|
You can see the cylinder is formed, but not completely melted together (tack fused) |

|
  |

|
Marver the (open) cylinder into more of a round shape |

|
  |

|
  |

|
Starting to neck-down the open end of the cylinder |

|
  |

|
Going to knock off the button on the end |

|
  |

|
  |

|
It's hot! -- Let's marver it a little bit more into shape |

|
  |

|
  |

|
A gather of clear glass will form the pedestal of the piece |

|
  |

|
  |

|
  |

|
  |

|
Paddle the bottom flat |

|
  |

|
Bench blow, but just a Little bit! |

|
  |

|
Punty for transfer off of the blowpipe |

|
  |

|
Heat up the open end (now the front end of the piece) |

|
  |

|
Start to open up the top of the piece |

|
  |

|
  |

|
  |

|
  |

|
Paddle the lip (top of the piece) flat |

|
Now flaring out the lip of the piece |

|
  |

|
  |

|
  |

|
ALL DONE -- PUT IT AWAY! (in the annealing oven) |
