The eyeballs for this phoenix started out as extreme peewee murrine marbles. Made me wonder what
is the smallest marble in your collection?

Ken, the smallest marble I have is 3/4", which isn't really that small. But I wanted to comment on the Phoenix and some other. The Phoenix is, of
course fantastic, but I've been to your website and am drop-jawed by your sculptures. I'm one of those who definitely is interested in glass sculpture.
I started with glass sculpture long before I got into marbles although nothing in your league. I've done a LOT of "window-shopping," though and
I'd say you are right up there with the best for realistic sculpture. You're plants are awesome and botanically accurate which surprises me. Your
orchids are incredible -I used to grow orchids as a hobbyist so those have a special interest for me. I also very much like your marble/sphere towers. Those
hypnotize me.
Ok, I've gushed. I'll PM you with some questions. Respectfully, erik |

Hey Ken, love the Phoenix! As fas as tiny marbles, I've got two vials from JR Hooper. One is filled with 5 mm and the other with 2.5 mm, and each marble is
unique.

Ken, this sculpture is gorgeous. The wispy streak of purple is uber cool or perhaps I should say
"uber hot and smoking" in this case! The eyes are wonderfully fierce. The family is going to be very touched by your commemorative artwork. You are a
great sculptor.
Sorry it took me so long to post. I kept getting interrupted or sidetracked each time I signed in. Becky |
