Spinning Tops

(Glass Marbles)

Spinning Tops I made these a couple of days ago and couldn't stop, they're such fun to make. These are boro, deep sea blue base, with mystery aventurine, amber purple, and the rainbow colors are from persimmon strike.

I made these this past week, and have been geting into making the ultimate spinner. The short top has the best spin, the slightest twist and it keeps on going.
