Chuck Pound's Last Sirius Marble of the Millennium! |
This is a set of photos I took while making my last marble of 1999, the decade, the century, the millennium!! It is an RPM with a yellow-orange-dark red-aventurine stripe, bright red base glass with turquoise "fish" make up the rest of the marble. The size is about 1-5/8 inch. This marble was made at about 11am, 31 December, 1999. You may also be interested in the Sirius Marble Gallery | |
![]() Just starting out. I am making a gather of the red glass to be used as the base color. In the background you can see the kiln I use for annealing the finished marbles. |
![]() Here I have added the yellow, orange, dark red, and aventurine for the stripe. I am now smoothing the added colors into the base red glass (Here is the original, un-edited picture, 1600x1200, 850K) |
