Like sugar; like glass

I wonder if you could make something like this out of glass. I think the lattice part of it should be possible. This is done in a croquembouche mould (?sp) and we know the theory of how that's done in sugar as of last weekend. So can I put the weekend down as research then? Everything is research, really.

It's time to get serious now and knuckle down to the academic part of the MA and dig myself in to 'Why is a wine glass not a shoe?' Am quite enjoying playing with my proposition. But I'll have to limit it. Maybe even boil it down to 'Why glass?'
