a couple of weekends ago when heather was here visiting, we made the trek to the southern part of the island to hit up the most beautiful and happy place that is known as the okinawa ryukyu glass factory. everything is colorful and beautiful and amazing.... i want it all!!!
they make the glass right there in front of you, so you can see the process... it is so cool! you can see this guy blowing the glass, shaping it with his hand, and applying a mold for texture.
this guy down here is making a wine glass. first they make the part that holds the wine, then the stem, and finally the bottom piece. it is such a rad thing just to see how exact they are with everything and how they keep applying just the right amount of heat and twisting the glass in just the right way.... amazing!
this last one is a picture of the ceiling inside the actual store where you can buy all the glass. everything is this colorful and wonderful.... so happy!!!
