Bert, the body of this donut appears to be made from all one piece. Many of the others appear to be separate pieces that are fused together(for the top and bottom). Is there anything you could tell us about this process?

Both of those pieces are stunning btw, I especially like the pillar

looking back at the pics again, they both look like they're out of a alien movie.

it's like the peanut is the cocoon and that donut is what popped out of it.

Sure! You are absolutely right about the donut being all one piece. I like how it gives the whole thing a uniform look. I also like being able to fuse pieces together to frame the design of the donuts. They are pieced together with an Italian fusing technique called encalmo. Here are some more examples of that technique...

As you can see, when done properly all the different pieces actually become one piece of glass in much the same way that many droplets of water can become a puddle.

I like them both bunches and bunches -- but I'd probably pick the donut.

HzG8rGirl suggested the next contest! It will be similar to estimating the number of jelly beans in a jar, but Trippy-er

Thank Gawd it isnt how many votes we can get using the internet Bean counting sounds good to me ! And a very fair way to do it too, thanks Hzg8 for your suggestion
