Dug Cullet Marbles (Akro Galss)

[richsantaclaus]

I have 7 marbles to show you guys that came from cullet that was dug from the site where the marble was made (except for the mica marble - not sure where it came from).

The glass is from the AKRO dig.

What do you think of these marbles?

Whoa! These are rather impressive! Would be cool to also see a photo of the before cullet. There's some intricate work in these that's downright diabolical. I'm hoping that you do not go over to the Dark Side! David

The quality of the cullet and a bit of additions determine what comes out of my kiln 8 1/2 hours later. It's taken about 15 years of playing with glass to get to where I am at today. I try to allow the glass to "speak" to me when it's under 1450 degrees F at my torch. Thanks for your post David.

Here is a pix of some of the remaining cullet I have.

That chunk of yellow would look good twisting through a piece of this oxblood:

Thanks Alan, now I have to clean out the drool from my keyboard!
