I think something finally clicked for me last week, cus every new piece I make is more and more badass. They're still kinda wonky here and there but I'm getting much more comfortable with the glass. I gotta tell yall how much I appreciate the open discussions. I hope that one day I'll be able to contribute some new ideas (I just gotta learn the old ones first!) Thanks for checkin ma sheet out :D

Resentful of the fact that he resides in the San Fernando Valley, bawb aspires to one day be stranded in the Pacific Ocean -- floating over the remains of the Lost City of Angels, making his way towards Arizona Bay. DAMN YOU! LET THE RABBITS WEAR GLASSES! Can I get an amen?

Constructive advice
It really bugs me that some of the people out there are either ignorant of the skill required to do glass blowing or they are so far away from thier first piece that they have forgotten how hard it can be. First let me highlight the good points. You use of color is good. You also get the glass hot enough to melt in all the color which is also a common amateur mistake (not working hot enough). It's also obvious that despite a few lacking technical skills that you are trying things that are beyond your current skills and that is how we get better. Don't knock your scanned photo's you have better pictures then alot of other artists. And kudos for having the balls to put up a "less then perfect" piece. As a self taught glass blower myself I have made ALOT of mistakes that could have been avoided with more traditional education. I would give you this suggestion. Put the color down for a few days... focus on scientific glass blowing.... Making butt seals, delwar seals, etc. Murina down stems would also be a good exercise. You definitely have alot of potential but you need to learn the control. Good luck!
