Spotted pickle? This was my first attempt at blowing glass. I got it too hot and it shrunk in on itself. ART!

Second try, this time a little more round.

This one got too hot on one side and when I blew into the pipe, a big bubble formed on one side. Cool - so I decided to make more bubbles. But then I accidently passed a big bubble in front of the flame and put a hole in it. More art. :)

Another view of the same piece.

This is an example of what happens if you close off both ends of a hollow piece and then get it too hot. There is a big hole in the bottom where the hot air made its escape. Lucky that wasn't pointed at anyone!
