I made this marble over my Christmas break from my "Junior" year first semester at Lyndon State College. It is a simple design, but it is one of the first marbles I have made over an inch in size. Glass becomes quickly more difficult to deal with as the size of the marble is larger. I imploded the pattern of a basic "snowflake" a cross with triangles on each pointed end. I then twisted the back of the implosion to create a cool effect. I rounded off the marble in the marble mold then continued on. I then drew blue dots large in size around circumference of the marble. I then melted in the blue dots and smoothed out the marble once again. I then moved on to place small white dots in the center of the melted in blue dots, I was done drawing now. I finished the marble by polishing it in a soft flame and smoothing the marble out in the mold. I then break off the punty, (the handle with which you work on the marble) and polished the small scar left behind by the punty.
