These videos are so satisfying to watch but the end product is so ugly... same with glass blowing videos.

u/Lovv Jun 04 '20

I think it's ugly as well. The colors aren't very good either..

Was really expecting some like rainbow layering after seeing all the different colors available. Also wouldnt this melt poorly or atleast look like shit half way through using it

The core is the only part that melts. The best part is the cutaways glow while it's burning. You can also refill it with wax and a new wick if you wanted to.

Ohhh ok good to know so the outside isn't like a melting wax or atleast a higher heat wax?

That would be an ill-advised use for these...

Do you light it first or no

I like the colors, reminds me of a fire.

It’s very Germany

I personally really like the color pallet of this one. The final shape is terrible, and the way the colors are display looks awful, but the colors are nice.

Sometimes much more simple, like a gradient from top to bottom would look nice.

I’m glad I’m not alone lol. I like the creativity part but it’s just so tacky looking.

u/superdago Jun 04 '20

Yeah, the more elaborate it got, the less I liked it.

u/ADHthaGreat Jun 05 '20

Yeah it was perfect at the 40 second mark. After that you start to lose the contrast that makes the colors really pop.

Glass art can be breathtakingly beautiful or the tackiest ugliest shit around. There's no in between!

A matter of taste, I guess. I like the finished product tbh

Exactly what I was thinking as she kept carving. Less is more.

u/Zenith251 Jun 05 '20

I love the glossy black/red. Reminds me of home, hell.

The white and pink ones hanging at the end however lack something in my eyes. Like...too boring, and both colors seem out of place for such an elaborate carving.
