    Hi, so I thought I would post these here to see what people think and maybe also to do some free market research (mostly joking).

    So my wife is a ceramicist and at about the same time she started a casting course we acquired a broken glass drinking boot that a friend had acquired by snapping the toe upon completing his beer. My wife modeled the toe in clay and then made a mold for the boot (which due to the size and her newness) took a few weeks. After that she was able to crank out a half a dozen boot (3 pictured below).

    In addition to wanting to hear peoples impressions of her boots, I am wondering what you think something like this might go for on Etsy or other websites. At the end of her class my wife was trucking out a semesters worth of projects and decided not to take the 40+ lb mold which she would have to store in our small apartment for at least a few month. Right now she is on the fence about trying to rebuild the mold and start casting boots again.
