Bumpy or smooth???

[Steampunkglass]

I've been playing around with planet marbles and some new techniques, and I can't decide which works best for these. I've made some using the same techniques but have left them bumpy, but then they aren't very smooth like 'proper' marbles, but they produce better silver lusters, but I'm not sure they look really as planet like?  So, whatdaya all think? Bumpy or smooth?

This is going to be no help at all, but I like them both for different reasons!

I'm with Hels. I like them both but suggest, for sales,you continue to make both as both bumpy and smooth will appeal to different people.

I'm with both the above. The lustres really come out on the surface, but the smooth look is one some people will prefer. I too would be tempted to do both. Planets aren't smooth in real life and I think that look is in some ways more "arty".

I agree with all the above.  They're lovely

I agree they are both lovely in different ways.

BOTH.

I agree with the comments above, each is a delight in its own way, so both techniques work.

Personally I want them all

OMG OMG OMG OMG the bumpy ones are making me bounce in my seat BUMPY BUMPY BUMPY!!!!

I'm with all of the above. The smooth ones make me want to stare, the bumpy ones make me want to fondle. Definitely both!

Both - for all of the above reasons. Love em.

Hi Glenn, a pleasure to meet you last Saturday at Greenwich. Your work certainly gets bettter and better, I like both but I think the smooth is the more saleable as it is more what people expect.....but then there is always the customer for anything a bit out of the ordinary.
Regards Pete.

I too like both - why limit the options?

[marklaird]

Both, definitely for the same sorts of reasons as above. The bumpy look much more tactile, but the smooth are more what you might expect.

The all look superb.
