'Bipedal Pod' Blown Glass bowl art piece by glassblower Chad Balster of Louisville, Kentucky. 5" x 6" x 7" 

"This is new development for me, in the pod series. In an effort to make these objects "move", I've changed the orientation of the blown bits to give more of a direction. Here I am using a post gather method to make a bigger body and distort the underlying pattern even more.  " - Chad Balster
