Thanks everyone. So many feel the same fascination with the glass blowing process. What I find incredible is how, all these hundreds of years later, the basics of the art is still the same. While I marvel at how far we've come technologically speaking (she said as one who graduated college before there were personal computers), I find it wonderful to think such a skill has been so tenderly

very interesting research I'm sure; I've seen it done on TV and was in awe and loved the finished products. It's quite a skill.

Your book does sound interesting and I'll check it out.

Why is being a woman a crime for Sophia? (because glass blowers weren't women?) Don't give anything away. Thanks.

I have always been a lover of glass blowing and have had several chances to watch someone in person working the art and it is totally amazing!
Thanks for sharing your process in how the book came to be and it was an interesting post and sounds like something nice to read, light and fun!

The Secret of the Glass sounds like an amazing book. Glass blowing has always been so mysterious to me - how glass is made and how blowing through a rod can result in such beautiful creations.

Hi Donna!

The Secret of the Glass sounds like a fun read. I cant believe you took glass blowing lessons as part of your research. It must have been fun. I watch a segment on glass blowing in the discovery channel and I was mesmerized. It was beautiful. Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, Donna, The Secret of the Glass sounds fascinating. I love the fact that you took glass-blowing lessons as research. That kind of research should allow you to add subtle nuances to your descriptions that would be otherwise impossible!
