Iris Blue Shard Vase

Last night I picked up some #44 Iris Blue shards and made a little vase to check color. 
Pick up a bar of color on a clean blowpipe so no clear is on the bubble. Blow it out fairly thin. Break up the bubble into shards. 
I got two gathers of clear and about four dips into white (61) powder. Third gather I picked up the shards. After the transfer and shape I turned up the gas on the glory hole to get the #44 to reduce. It made for a nice gleam. The shards did pick up some small bubbles and inclusions but it is pretty nifty. 

 Here are the shards on the gather after melting them in and getting a little shape on the gather.
