(Glass Marbles)

Haven't made too many in awhile.  Same as they ever was. 2-1/16" I made a number of these eye marbles a ways back. Used to make them with "Kimble" brand boro that was discontinued in 2003. I have heard from some folks that I can't make them now that the "fume friendly" Kimble does not exist. While the treatment of the newer Kimble (post '03) is different and the results are not quite the same. It is very possible to still make these eye marbles. This one is Kimble on the front and Simax on the back. This is the largest I have made to date. Still a challenge.

Thank you for taking the time to check out this gallery. I spent my childhood in Grand Haven, Michigan. Shortly after earning a BA in film and video production from Grand Valley State University I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to express myself as an individual in the all consuming world of film. A desire to escape the influences of city life led my wife and I to the Blue Ridge Mountains of southern Virginia. Fortunately the art of lamworked glass found me. Over the past 7 years I have spent many hours trying to decifer the language of glass, figuring out why glass appeals to me, and how I can make it my own. I feel blessed to be working in such a limitless medium and hope to continue to do so for many years. I hope you like my creations. Blessings, Kenan

Thanks!
I appreciate all the comments. I have just really been getting back into a marble groove. Jeremy - I have tried Pyrex but not enough to from an opinion. I do feel that the silver fume "yellows" quicker than the others. Got some interesting results with UST the few times that I tried it. Again, I appreciate the comments. Thanks for looking! - Kenan
