My marble 2012 AD is a dichroic marble made with one of the many kaleidoscope designs that I use. I start with a solid clear spherical gather of glass and apply the hot design to the bottom of the gather then I cover the design with exterior decoration so you can only see the kaleidoscope by viewing it through its clear lens which also magnify’s the image. Dichroic glass is not used by to many artists because it is very sensitive to exposure to the flame and can char (burn) easily. Over the years I have developed techniques that have allowed me to overcome its problems and you will almost always see some dichroic in all of my marbles.
