Very soon, this lighting feature will be graced with over a thousand hand-blown glass bubbles. Allyson conceptualized this dramatic chandelier and drew-up the plans to create it. Check out more of her inspiration and creative whiz here.
We call it our "Bubble Chandelier," and it's going to be stunning.
The glass bubbles were blown custom made in various sizes, and some with a different color hue of glass ... the more silver balls will be at the top of the netting. To attach the glass balls we have hooks and fishing line. The line is cut to various lengths, then special knots are tied at each end. Sounds like a laborious process, right? We think so too - and wondered who would want to tie 3,000 special knots.
Well, it just so happens that over the last couple months we have hired some wonderful employees. One of the ladies who will work in the laundromat once we are up and running volunteered for the task. That's right, volunteered! Refused payment. She said she was so excited to be able to work at Bubbles, and doesn't have a lot going on until it opens, that she is happy to help in any way. That is exactly the type of employee we want to see - Thank you!
Attaching some of the lower-hanging glass-bubbles ... we've always said this is a family business.
The glass-bubbles were delivered in these boxes. Apparently no one thought we would actually take inventory, but it turns out we were shorted a few. The glacier was a bit embarrassed, and is blowing more glass ball for us to complete the order. So many little details to oversea.
