Burning light bulb

This photo comes from my third attempt at shooting burning light bulbs. It became clear to me in earlier attempts that smashing the bulbs with a hammer or pinching the base of the glass with pliers in hopes of getting interesting shapes wasn't working with the frequency I was hoping for. I was able to cut the bulb to get whatever desired shape I wanted and not waste any bulbs due to damaged filaments.
