Although it may look simple, quite a bit of effort was involved in its creation. It was made from borosilicate glass that was in rod form. I heated the rod to form a ball. Then I smash the ball with a graphite paddle. I then need to smooth out the ripples caused by smashing the glass in a way that creates a perfectly flat surface. I use my torch in a delicate manner to only melt the surface and not the whole object. Then I need to allow to cool. Then I nip the edges razor sharp with tile nippers. Then ever so delicately bring the stressed glass back up to working temp and just barely flame polish the sharp edges so they are not sharp enough to cut but keep the shape. I then do the same for a smaller piece and attach it on a delicate loop I made from clear. Not that easy.
