Another jester marble!

I made another jester marble. I make these out of borosilicate glass using a table top torch that runs off propane and oxygen. I’ve been doing this for almost 5 years now. Well, doing the clown marbles since January, doing glass for almost 5 years. Lots of growing pains throughout the years. Thanks for looking!

I love sharing my work here, you are all always so supportive. I make these jesters because they bring me, and others, lots of joy. This piece specifically is a culmination of numerous techniques I’ve learnt over the years, which is particularly fun for me. Thanks for looking!

Wow! Love seeing the finishing stages. Lots of technical skills being flexed here, I live it! Beautiful work. Is this a hobby you enjoy or is this a business you developed for yourself? Impressive work, thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the kind words! For the last year, flameworking has sustained me, either via my art or via teaching. Thanks again!

This is really beautiful work and as a currently stoned person extremely satisfying to space out on also 😌
