Aside from many health issues, I have created an effective vessel that can hold liquid. It was made by first creating a metal shape out of cut scraps that were welded together. Next, I broke a bottle into shards that were laid on the insides of the "cup" and melted in between the cracks. Unfortunately, metal expands when introduced to extreme heat while glass does not. Also, glass takes a really long time to cool down. So as the piece cooled the contracting metal around the glass combined with minor thermal shock caused the integrity of the cup to decrease significantly. Yes, it holds water, but small sharp fragments continue to fall from the remaining structure...almost a month and a half after it's completion. Still it was a fun experiment
