glass pineapple bottle stopper

[AcidFly]

Hi everyone :)

Well i got a order for a bottle stopper with a pineapple on top. I'm have trouble figuring out what color to try :(

From what i have seen people try and use a yellowish color but i think it makes it look more like a ear of corn then a pineapple.

So any suggestions would be great and even if anyone have a technique on making pineapples that would be great :) The order also have 12 fruit glass charms to so any help with making fruit would be great :)

Thanks in advance !!

or maybe wrap and rake with some clear over caramel...

Sounds like a pretty fat order, ONE bottle stopper. (just poking fun)

I did a pineapple with Silver Strike 5, turned out the right color with gold-ish fume highlights.

Was just a pendant though, don't know if a bigger piece can be worked quick enough to keep it that color.

LOL well the pineapple is 1 of 6 stoppers and 36 wine glass charms :)

Its a 180 buck order just to let ya know lmao so that's why i was asking :)

I have tried a couple different ways and waiting to see what they look like out of the kiln :)

So we will see, Thanks everyone that took the time to post :)
