Josh Simpson autographed marble that looks pretty much exactly like this, except the twist in the blue ribbon isn't as pronounced. $200 but well worth it, except I cracked it tossing it from hand to hand over concrete while I was tripping.

Thanks for posting that , I had never heard of Josh before. I love his glass, his bubbles and planets are AMAZING.

I have never bought any art but I plan to someday. I really love glass art.

Here are some neat ones I found online.

I like handmade glass marbles too.

I've bought quite a lot of art. I bought some Juggle Art Paintings from an acquantance of mine, b rowdy

If you have never heard of Juggle Art Paintings, spread the word. They are a true form of abstraction defined from motion. Chickity check it out - Poi

I don't feel like taking pictures of the paintings I have unless, you guys are really that curious.

I would be very weary with something like that. The bubbles in that could have been done by hand, however they probably used lasers. The amount of detail in the location of each bubble leads me to believe it's simply not hand made.

I could be wrong, but with that amount of effort I couldn't see it only costing $200.

But it's cool none the less.

there's videos of Josh Simpson working. Normally those marbles are only about $65 but the signature costs extra. If you think that's a lot of work then check out his inhabited planets.

that last one is at a museum near me and is prolly 11" in diameter.

My love just bought me a beautiful hand-carved pipe. I purchased a totally groovy Batik sweatshirt (wearable art) from a friend of min not too long ago. No pics, sorry.
