Stiletto Pods

This new series was designed with an appreciation for things simultaneously sharp and soft.  Still using the pod format, we have delved into realm of extreme textures.  The prunts, or blown bits, are accentuated and sharper and more dagger like.  The body and nodes, on the other hand, alternate between smooth/shiny and sandblasted/soft.  I feel this illustrates the form really well by highlighting the transition from main bubble to secondary blown bit to finial sharp tip.  
Below are some of the highlights of this series.
