Normally, I see people posting the ubiquitous glass pipe, bong, or bubbler. You know, the one that looks like at least 5 thousand other near-identical peices.
However, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th peices are all nicely unique.
The homer simpson is horribly deformed, but I like the idea.
That fourth one would just plain blow my damn mind if I had just taken a huge puff out of it

Wow that stuff is extremely intricate. My uncle has a little shop behind his house and I have tried blowing glass a few times with him. Its alot harder then it looks.
Glass artwork of all kinds seems to be in abundance everywhere in Oregon.

No, I don't blow glass but I'd really love to learn how. That would be the PERFECT career for me but I don't know how good I'd be, I don't have very good art skills.

I've found that, despite my lack of artistic inspiration, when I try something where I'm actually working with my hands and forming a tangible object it's a bit easier to be creative with it.
For example, here's a partially finished totem pole that was an assignment for high school art class.
 
I started off thinking "oh crap, It's going to be hard to think of something for this." but, after I had decided on the animals to use, it wasn't hard to just start working on the wood and think it out as I worked. Once you get started, it gets to be fun to shape something out of what is in your hands.
I bet glassblowing is a lot like that. If you just improv it, it might help the creativity, and make it more fun. Of course, glassblowing takes a lot of skill that you need to learn through experience... or so I am told
*edit* oops, forgot pictures

it not that hard, just takes about a year to get decent at it, and about $2,500 all said and done to be honest (but thats all youll spend in a year)
fun times, only problem that i run into is this, 1000 degree glass and 70 degree glass look the same, untill you touch it and it burns your finger...

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."
