Blue: this one has red and yellow; thanks for looking, robert

Thanks all - the 2nd one reminds me of one of those old glass lamp shades.

Raquel - take rough and slab it on a WF, then for these that were small, I just started grinding away the cracks and letting the cab shape itself up. After the rough shaping its follow the steps to finish.
