I made these three marbles last night using the new "bump" marble mold I got at Blue Moon Glassworks in Austin. Jim, thank you so much for getting that mold - "Bumpy" is my new favorite. If you want to see it in action, come to the Fireflies meeting at Blue Moon Glassworks on August 28th. I will be doing a demo on marble making there. We'll see how many times I drop the marble off the punty. :)

All of these marbles are about 1 1/4 inches in diameter.

The marble on top was made with an ivory base and silver foil with one of the Vetrofond odd lots as an accent.
The marble in the middle has an ivory base with dots of black, and two different silver glasses.

The marble on the bottom has a base color of opal yellow with a twistie made of silver glasses, rubino and intense black.

This marble is about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. It has shards of glass (thin sheets like a balloon that are broken and melted into another color.)

This is a close-up of a galaxy marble I made. It is about 1 inch in diameter and has fine silver foil inside to make the small planets. The larger planets are made of glass.

I made this marble (about 1 1/4 inch diameter) last weekend. I like the reaction between the two different glasses.

I have been using shards of a type of glass that has lots of silver in it and therefore changes color depending on the chemistry of the flame. These three marbles are about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. They vary from brown to green with some "oil slick" patches.

Ever since taking Wil's marble class I have been going crazier making marbles. This one is about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. It is a vortex marble - it looks like a tornado is inside.
