Topic: Perfume Bottle - Not quite random strapping...

[krsilber]

I should make it more obvious when I'm guessing; I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that my hypotheses mean anything!  I was hoping Adam would come around and set the record straight.  Thanks, Adam, for addressing my posts so completely, it helps me (and others) learn.

One of the main reasons I thought the strands were teased from the surface is that where they seem to 'emerge' from the clear glass there appears to be a little splaying, as though stretched.

This is what I was seeing, too.  Perhaps if that end is mushed down it would make that "Y" shape?  Adam is saying localized heat was unlikely.

Oops, right you are.

There are probably some videos on the net that show trailing being done, but better to get to a glassworks and watch it being done. There is nothing quite like, other I suppose, than doing it yourself.
