First things first, I gather my glass rods in all sorts of colors. I always have a general idea of what I want the turtle to look like—maybe a bright green shell or a cool blue body. Then, I fire up the torch. The flame gets super hot, and that’s where the magic happens.

With the torch going, I take a glass rod and hold it in the flame. The glass starts to melt and get all gooey, and that’s when I start shaping it. I usually begin with the shell, making it nice and round. It takes a steady hand and a lot of patience because the glass needs just the right amount of heat. Too much, and it’ll droop; too little, and it won’t budge.
After the turtle is fully formed, I give it a quick spin in the flame to smooth out any rough spots. Then, I let it cool down slowly. Once it’s cool, the turtle is ready to join its colorful little friends!
And that’s it! Making these glass turtle figurines has been a blast, and each one is a tiny work of art that I’m proud to create.
