I would love to set up categories for different techniques or styles of marbles and see us respond to what types of glass work we like and who are our favorites for specific kinds of work. The categories for example could be:
murrini
fume
cane
flowers
jellyfish
UV
latticino
filigrana
dichro
vortex
surface work (pinwheels, dots, raking, etc.)
swirl and/or ribbon
hollow
reticello
wigwag
implosion
space cosmos themes
seascape themes
honeycomb
face themes
mushrooms
abstract
geometrics
This list is seriously incomplete - just what I could come up with on the spur of the moment. I think it would be kinda fun to hear a variety of opinions in the different areas of specialty, especially if artists or collectors would post pictures. Comments anyone?
Newbie likes your list. Very interesting to see descriptive names gathered in one place for so many of the forms I'm discovering here. Thanks!
