This marbles features a lime green cap with a dot pinwheel section on one side and a magenta section sandcarved with a UFO on the other. Surrounding the magenta section is a band of creme and black honeycombs drips, and space images. The center of the marble is a beautiful copper based blue in which I coaxed some of the copper to the surface to give the piece red striations.

These sandcarved pieces are made utilizing an extremely time consuming multi-step process. I first create the piece on the torch and anneal it in a digitally controlled kiln. I then clean the piece with acetone, lay out a series of images on a layout program, cut those images on a vinyl plotter, apply them to the the piece, sandblast the piece, soak them in acetone to remove the decals, clean them, and oil them.
