Abstract
A method of making a glass ornament with a colorful cracked internal portion mainly fires a pure and transparent raw material as well as a colorful raw material to soften at 1500-1600° C. and at 600-700° C. respectively for different lengths of time; then the fired and softened colorful raw material is cut into small chunks to be wrapped inside the transparent raw material so as to form natural cracks through physical changes between the softness and the hardness; the cracked product is then shaped into molds; after being kept warm for about 5-6 minutes, a transparent ornament with colorful cracked internal portion is accomplished.

The method of making a glass ornament with a colorful cracked internal portion includes the following steps:
- fire and soften a pure and transparent raw material at 1500-1600° C. and a colorful raw material at 600-700° C.;
- cut the fired and softened colorful raw material into small chunks and keep them warm at 100-200° C. for about 5-6 minutes in order to wait for the transparent raw material to be fired to soften;
- wrap the colorful raw material inside the fired and softened transparent raw material thereby to cause physical change between the softness and the hardness so as to form colorful and natural cracks and then shape the wrapped product into a mold;
- repetitively keep the two sides of the shaped mold warm for about 5-6 minutes so as to accomplish a glass ornament with a colorful cracked internal portion.
