Wow!

The play of dichroic as waves is really awesome!

A couple suggestions: Photograph your marbles with another object (like a coin) that shows size and watch out for fingerprints - there's one near the top of the image in the light reflection.

This marble is definitely one of your best.

thanks man glad you like

yeah i'm lazy on the photos haha i try to polish them as much as possible but there's just so much to do, it's not worth the time, maybe i should be charging a lot more? it sold pretty fast even w/ the janky picture, for around $25? i have no idea what to charge for this stuff but i think i could be asking more haha....

Pricing objects like marbles is always really hard.

it looks really interesting.

I keep wishing to come visit you and see your glass sometime, but I am so disorganized and you know how that goes and all

Yeah, I've visited a glass blower, pretty hot there... But I soo wish I had glass blower skillz! Love to see the swirling colours and the warm glass being shaped. It's so amazing!

yeah totally worth the effort most of the time... and learning how to start and maintain a business has been a very interesting journey.

all it takes is practice, you could so learn

Suppose I need all the equipment too.. Like a big fire and a blow.. erm, stick or what you call them... Seems like an expensive hobby, but I still wish for the skills and the stuff

obscure-shadow In reply to CoffeeToffeeSquirrel [2010-07-09 07:31:24 +0000 UTC]

you can start out with cheap stuff and a itty bitty torch and make your own beads and stuff... [link]

i learned almost everything off the internet....

I looked at the video. So cool! I wish I could, but I'm a bit afraid of fires... (I've experienced house fire twice, so I'm still a bit squeamish when it comes to fires and explosives But I talked with a friend, she told me about a glass blower at her home place who gives lessons in glass blowing. Maybe I'll try it when I visit her I am not afraid of fires when I feel it's controlled by an experienced person, but to try it home is a different matter to me..

Suppose I would sit in my house with the glass stick tied to a looong stick and put the torch in the neighbour's garden.

Ooh yummy yummy yummy This one is BEAUTIFUL! Seriously now, how much would you be asking for this one? I love your marbles, I just can't stand not having one!

obscure-shadow In reply to KimsButterflyGarden [2010-06-06 21:17:48 +0000 UTC]

thanks! i'm glad you like it i'll be posting more pictures of it up here in a moment.
I listed it on my artfire page with a list price of $30. It's got a ton of dicroic in it as well as bit of prep so i'm sure you can understand, but everything is on sale for 30% off, so it's just $21 plus 4 shipping = $25 total which is $5 off, pretty good deal really... haha also i might send you a suprise

i really like the sound of that. I have absolutely zero dollars at the moment (literally, DTE is still waiting for 2/3 of my latest bill from a month ago >.<) but I can't wait until the day I may be able to afford something from your lovely gallery
