Pate de Verre

This program is for my first ever pate de verre. I used Orion's gold ruby, as well as impact beads. Despite the fact that we tried to be very careful with the program, so as not to get sand stuck on the inside of the mold, sand is all I have on the inside!

The mold was far more delicate than I expected it to be when I picked it up, and it fell apart in my hands. Luckily I somehow grabbed onto the bowl, but it still got a big chunk taken out of it (you can see it on the right side).
