Only today... on this reddit post.

The company I work for only makes round or heart paperweights. The main difference between a pipe and a paperweight is that the paperweight is solid and doesn't require any blowing. The ashes cause the glass to get very bubbly and cold, so if you were blowing it up the bubble wouldn't blow out correctly causing it to be really thin in some spots and very thick in some spots. so I don't think it could be done and look nice.

The only thing I know about the ash, is whether it is a pet or a human, but i just usually base that on the name on the canister of ash. The friends or family get to choose any colors they want and the shape (round or heart). I could definitely make one into a horse, but the company doesn't offer it. But it can definitely be done.

No, we have a person who puts out the color and ash in trays. She is very organized so that's never happened.

When I lived in Indiana, people would be like "What do ya do as a glassblower, make bud light bottles er sumtin?" In Seattle, where I live now, people always say "Soooo uh you gonna make me a bong brah?"
