Glassblower Santa
and other gifts

I am bemused by this 10" tall glassblowing Santa, which is part of the Clothtique Collection from Possible Dreams. I first saw it at the hardware store where I work. Many sites on the internet carry parts of the Clothtique collection but I had to search a bit to find the blower. Now, do I buy the figure or get another glassblowing tool for my own use? The figure is cast resin, as is the pipe and bubble at the end. The ornaments hanging from the table appear to be very small mirror glass items.

My sister, Betty Firth, bent up this figure of a glassblower (with glasses) that now hangs in the corner near a window, the pipe is heavier wire with a blob of clear resin on the end to represent the glass.  It will stand as photographed, but looks better hung with the pipe held out in front of it. 2006-11-14
