Flower marble

That's beautiful and I'd love to see it in other colourways too.

That's fabulous! What red did you use, I find most reds i use look washed out. I am sure you'll enjoy the lessons

Beautiful x

Wow, thanks guys - tbh the photo probably does it some favours. There's a lot of air trapped, and the petals aren't in the right places, but it's along the right lines, and I'm semi-pleased, given I've not made a marble in ages. No pictures of the back - it's rubbish!

Some of us might be put very firmly in the shade, if we were to go.

You're funny. I doubt anything like that's going to happen. I quite expect to be put firmly in place by some of the rather marvellous Euro-lampworkers we never hear about...

I think it's Momka Carmen Red, the black is TAG Knight Rider.

Thanks for looking, everyone. I'm off for a week of Hot Shop now...

Cool Marble Sean see you at the Kobuki workshop

Hamilton Taylor · October 02, 2011, 11:11:40 AM

Hi Marcel! It'll be great to see you!
(see what I mean, Emma?

WOW!!!! Gorgeous.

Oooooh, I'd love to meet Marcel

I think you are underselling that marble, though. It looks very marvellous - and the Carmen Red seems to be working very nicely encased, which isn't something that can be said of all boro opaque reds.

Enjoy the hot shop

Lovely marble!

I hope you are enjoying the course (I'm a delicate shade of green) and that you will take loads of pictures

That is one sexy mother

spexy · November 02, 2011, 08:11:58 AM

Wow! what everyone else said. I can't think of a different word to describe how lovely it is!

Hamilton Taylor · November 02, 2011, 08:15:15 AM

Thank you!
The glassblowing course was fab (pics on my flickr), and I'm off to Holland for a weekend with John Kobuki this weekend!

Oh, it's a hard life...
