(Glass Marbles)

My first 3 days Practiced with marbles, I attempted a couple techniques but mostly just free styled them. I know they are crap for shape I use a table mounted teaspoon for my marble mold. and for some reason I had a few cracks even with my kiln...Probably didn't cook my color in enough

very good fot your first days
sometimes certain colors have trouble being buried too deep such as crayon colors and need to be well heated before putting it into the kiln(the finished marble). also certain colors will crack if reduced and the colors develop crystals on the surface. anyway welcome to glass pipes.. hope to see more work
