Does anybody besides me make art out of hot glue sticks?

I have been making things out of hot glue stick for years. Horses (out of glue..lol), jellyfish, flowers, monsters, if you need a vase I can make you one that won't break, but will look like stained glass. They are, for the most part, tranparent and hollow. I made an Ostrich who (Louis), is 3/1/2 feet tall. He lives in my garden after retiring from the library circuit, touring.. The is a terrific artistic medium for so many reasons, including a glue stick cost 5 cents. Louis is made out of 676 sticks,about $40.00 and he has been sold for $200.00. Then the Patron gave him back to me! I sell alot but would like to make a book and then just make the Sculptures when I feel the muse. But at the same time I am aching to share this idea with others for sharing ideas and such. How do I go about making my artistic dreams come true. PS They like indoors/outdoors/no car dashboards! Yikes!

Reply:Not me but I saw a decorating special on TV once where a woman made necklaces out of hot glue.
Reply:I had sconces once about 25 years ago that had tall candles in them. Came home one day to find the candles in the shape of a "U". It gets really hot here, and I suspect that with climate change it will get hotter. I would think that since glue sticks melt with heat (not sure at what temperature they melt) so I'd be afraid to buy anything made with that kind of glue. I would think too that things could get really hot in a car and melt stuff. I have an office in my home and a couple of years ago it got so hot in here that the plastic top of my scanner bent (in wavy fasion) from the heat.
