Something I've learned with glassblowing is that if you don't learn the basics, the complicated stuff will be impossible to you. I tried repeatedly to go beyond my skills as a glassblower unrealistically (sometimes it is good to challenge yourself, just do so smartly) and honestly ended up seriously discouraged for months as a result. For that reason, my latest efforts on the torch have been directed at perfecting the basics, one by one.
The hazy blue hue comes from silver fuming. I wrapped some translucent green around the bowl and and dotted it up with black and white. I think the effect is quite interesting.
While the shaping of the pipe didn't go as desired, I did get a feel for the color combination and I'll say that I'm a fan of how that bit turned out at least.
