Happy Birthday, Jamie (well, sort of)

For Jamie's birthday this past July, I registered him for a glass-blowing class. Unfortunately, he decided to instead get endocarditis, so he couldn't go to the class! So I transfered his registration to a class in October. About two weeks ago, Jamie spent a few hours learning about the art of glassblowing. He got to make a paperweight and a vase. He told me all about it, and the process was extremely interesting, but I can't remember much about what he said. The most I remember was that the glass was heated up to something ridiculous, like 2000 or 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. Anyway, here are some pictures of his creations!
