I've been exploring a rounded, closed form lately. These aren't quite spheres like the marbles I've made, but spheroid which is kind of a squashed sphere shape. These aren't solid, but blown. Most of the ones I've done lately are between 9 and 10 inches across and slightly less tall. They have a very small opening so aren't really useful for anything other than display objects.
After doing several of these, I began to notice some patterns evolving. I was looking at some photos on the NASA site and the various planets looked a lot like my glass. Or was that my glass objects looked a lot like the NASA photos? The above reminded me of the moon Europa. I'm working on a series now called "Planets and Planetoids" and exploring various colors and patterns. Another one is shown below.
I haven't named this as I'm still looking at photos - but this one reminds me of some exotic undersea adventure. I have a lot of these in various stages of completion - some will have highly polished openings similar to the Rothko series which should add even more interesting effects when looking into the pieces.
