Melt the coils smooth and shape to the basic shape you want to end up with.  I added some frit to this one...just for fun.

Blow for boro, puff for soft.  You don't have to blow the shape all at once.  Heat and blow gently until you get the shape you want.

Add some dots or raised decorations of your choice.
