More successful (?) blown vessel

I had another go at making a vessel tonight, after my exploding failure the other night. This time I started with a fresh tank of gas and used white glass (very soft) with my Hothead. I used too much glass, and the vessel got to be too large and ended up lumpy due to the low heat of the torch, but it's a vast improvement over no vessel. As my chum Tony would say, "That vessel is a million times better than the vessel that didn't get made!" Though I decorated it, it seemed like adding handles would be pushing it, so it's sans handles.

Photos to come if it doesn't shatter in the kiln.
