We stopped by <a href="mvglassworks.com">Martha's Vineyard Glasswworks</a>
to watch them making glass pumpkins.  It's always fun to watch.  I sent
them a cropped version of the last picture which they posted on their
Instagram account.

fairy dust (whatever) to give it color.
011-DSC_4768: Drawing out the stem.  The texture was created by putting
it in a mold.
012-DSC_4770: The colored stem is complete and the work is almost done.

the pumpkin from the pontil (rod).

<a href="/images/Photos/MVY2021/MVGlassworks/glassworks.png">Here</a>
is a darker, cropped version I sent them that they posted
to their Instagram account (a friend who uses Instagram sent me that
screenshot).  It makes him look a bit like the Mandalorian.  Sorry, 
I&apos;m not going to Photoshop in a baby Yoda.
