Blue Spring Tree Blossom Silhouette Marble

This handmade lampwork glass bead is made from a base of transparent light blue and silver mica powder over white with swirls of darker blue goldstone for a soft sparkle. Black tree silhouettes come from cobalt blue ground with blossoms signifying to beginning of Spring.

All my Marbles are annealed in a computer controlled kiln for strength and durability. These are handmade so there might be a slight variance in size. My marbles are all made in soft glass, so they are much softer and have less surface tension when melted than borosilicate. Because of the handmade nature, there can be some imperfections. I do get these as perfectly round as I can, but they are handmade.

My pictures are taken in a lightbox with an SLR camera to get the best representation of my work. There are still variances in monitors and so forth. If you have any questions or need more pictures, please let me know. Thank you for your support and thanks for looking.
