Dragon Egg Cathedrals

I think these cathedrals might have been the first project I did as a collaboration with a glass artist.
He had gotten a new tool that let him grind down and polish glass at whatever angles he wanted, and so he made an egg in the process of becoming completely capable with this new tool, and because he does a lot of dragon-themed work, he posted it on his social media as a ‘dragon egg’. His followers ate it up. He had a ton of interest- how much, when can I get one, etc. However, he didn’t want to spend his time making eggs because it’s pretty tedious so he told them an amount that he figured would just settle the issue and the demand would go away, but that’s not what happened and so he had to deliver. But he felt like for that money they should get something a bit more than just a glass egg, so he wondered if I could make some sort of medieval display situation for it, and I came up with this little cathedral.
It has a battery-powered black light LED to light up the egg and the doors can be opened and closed. I really enjoyed this project because I had to figure out some new methods for production and run lots of tests. The math/geometry involved is a lot of fun because I’m designing in two dimensions for a three dimensional thing so there’s lots of leaning back in my chair trying to picture parts of it in my brain.
