Finally managed to sit down for a couple of hours yesterday and make some marbles – this is the only one I’m happy-ish with; it’s the first I’ve taken time over for some time, and the petals turned out quite nice, although there’s a lot of trapped air in there – going to have to work on that. It’s borosilicate, and about 31mm (1 3/16″) diameter. I’m doing a class with John Kobuki at the start of November, so I thought I better put a bit of practice in!

There were a couple of others, one of which had some silver and gold fume in, but it didn’t strike very well, so I’ll leave it in the kiln for a few cycles and see if it comes up better.
