I didn't get any photos of the piece I was most excited about, which was a broad, shallow vessel with a swirly ribbed-pattern that will become a birdbath once I weld up a base for it. I seemed to be on a roman bottle form kick, which is the shape you see above with the rounded base and the long narrow neck, so I ended up with a number of vases as well. I try to go into my blow slots with some amount of intention, but I so seldom get to blow glass from a furnace that sometimes I just end up having fun making disparate items. Next time it might be prudent to do some production work for the holiday season though.
I'm feeling like making some pretty blown ornaments on my torch. I think that's next on the docket, after snail shell items, which I still need to hash out and make a good number of. Soon I will have enough free time to really focus, and I am so looking forward to it.
