I named these marbles Jupi-Blue galaxy becaues I was thinking of the planet Jupiter and the red storm while I did the backings. The larger backing consists of new reformulated cherry, cherrywood and rootbeer (double AP based)... the smaller backing is all color aurora with hobnails to trap different atmospheric color changes induced by the torch under different hobnails. I used a yellow/blue dichroic glass that reflects and transmits mostly the blue spectrum.
The larger marble is approximately 1 1/4" and the smaller of the two is a 1" marble.
I took these photographs inside for a private collector to view and some of the photos are not in perfect focus and my light source (a lamp) reflects in smoe of the photos. I apologize for the indoor shots, as I really think glass looks its most beautiful in the outdoors under natural sunlight... I just wanted to get something up for the collector to view.
