We take these photos to share with you but we also take them for ourselves. It is eventually a plan of mine to try and replicate some of the sky scenes we see here on glass in the form of bongs and other larger pieces. It'll probably take a combination of many techniques to make it right, but it's in the plans when I have more control over the look of my pieces.
Right now as a glassblower I'm at the "can make quality functional pieces that are pretty but not elaborate, and they never turn out as expected" time in my career. This is the time where you learn how glass responds under different conditions and where it manipulates you more than you manipulate it. You've gotta get a certain amount of technical know how under your belt before you can make things turn out exactly how you want. Until I'm there, I'm stocking these photos.
Good source of future inspiration, don't you think? Down the line...I'll have endless material to work off of.
This is the second bit of the photos John took of last night's sunset with our Nikon D7200 camera and 18-140mm lens.
