No Laughing! Where's the fun in that? Anyway, a pot drop is just like it sounds, suspend a container, with a hole in the bottom, (clay flowerpots work great) full of glass over a shelf. Get it hot, and the glass comes out in a stream. Makes some interesting patterns. Brock

Very cool.

Thanks for the link, I'll be passing it on to a micro-photographer I know. Has to be easier than playing with emulsions or whatever he does to get his effects. - Haydo.
