it's not as big as it looks, it's just really, really close.
About 5"-ish?
Boro, made in 3 sections, two cobalt squiggle-balls (wig-wag re-ball, if you're 'merkin (I think)), one either side of a feather-raked caramelo section (that you can't see in the photy).
I'm chuffed 'cos I'm teaching this stuff to myself, using badly filmed youtube vids, US pipemaking forums, guesswork and swearing. Nobody teaches this in the UK, at least I've not found anyone, so if you know someone, please let me know!
@LesleyMac
I can't sell this stuff yet as it's not up to snuff, but I'll be doing baubles like this for Crimbo.
Eventually, I hope to be good enough to make saleable vessels, goblets an' that, but it's a steep learning curve.

Thanks for the kind comments,

Sean
