The molds look so pure and smooth and lovely!
As an experiment, I tried lampworking some glass into approximately the correct shape and size. Some leaves are filled with green and clear frit.Ready to go into the kiln:
And out of the kiln. Note that one mold broke as I took it out of the kiln, they are very fragile after they've been fired and can be used only once. Some glass flowed well, some didn't seem to get quite enough heat to make it flow flat, and it bunched up on itself instead.
With the molds removed:
Unfortunately the white sacred heart reminds me of a chicken,
Scrubbed clean:
I am liking how these look very much, continued experimentation will follow.

You can always bring laughter into my day.........poor little sacred heart chicken.
And......where is all of this energy coming from in this intense heat? Oh, right, your song is on constant play isn't it ! That's the secret, we all need our own song !
