sissydear Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I attended Tucson Best Bead and I have 4 new marbles. Two for me and two for Joseph. This one is a Kevin O'Grady. If you know Kevin's work, you know that each year he changes the cap of his marbles. This year (2012) he is using more silver and sparkly blue. all of the cap is not visible from this end. Kevin also changes the millis in his design each year. There are new flowers in the cap. I believe this is the prettiest cap he has done. I love the lattice look the millis are embedded in. Two more views of the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 This marble is about 3 inches in diameter. Looking through the lens is a flower garden and the rose is a new flower this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 That's a lamp you see reflected in the marble. I'm working with a hand held Canon instead of my Nikon on a tri pod. I'm surprised the pics are as good as they with this one. Never tried marble pics before with my canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 All of the pics above are 1 marble. Some of your comments made me think you thought you were looking at several marbles. The next series is all one marble too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 This marble is a Joshua Mazet. Josh has put so much into this marble that it looks like more than one marble. Josh told me he was trying to transition from land to water in this marble. I think he achieved that. I refer to this marble as Josh's "tidal pool". A jellyfish window on this side of the marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 In the top window, you can see what i think is the prettiest part of the marble. I see the transition here too of land to water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
