I SEE YOU!!!

  « My Marbles

(Glass Marbles)

I SEE YOU!!! I had a request for a couple eye marbles. I thought through a few different techniques to use to make them, and this was what I came up with in the first batch. I'm pretty stoked on them! they were really fun to make!!! I'll probably try out the other styles I was thinking of next time I hop on the torch!! I hope you like them!!!

Here's some pics of the second set of eye marbles I made... some are better then others, and then there's a few other marbles that I made. There was 10 eyes from batch two.

Let me know what you think.... These are fun to set up in random places on little o-rings where people don't expect them... Medicine Cabinets, Pantry, next to the coffee table, or anywhere else that they'll catch someone off guard!!! He He He!!!

Aloha!!!

I put to many dots on it and pinwheeled them. It looks like it closed up the eye a bit.

Aloha everyone! My name is Ben Burton and I've been lampworking since January of 1999. I work borosilicate primarily but I will occasionally work moretti as well. I consider myself a sculptural artist, although I enjoy making focal pendants and have recently become infatuated with making marbles too. I live on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii and my work is constantly influenced by the beauty around me!! I hope you take the time to check out and enjoy my work!!! Please feel free to leave comments or messages. Live Aloha!

Mahalo and Aloha!!
