Harry and Wendy call this one 'Something Happened' - I call it 'The Earthquake Marble' in honor of my SoCal location |
While attempting to finish the marble, the whole core cracked. Instead of scrapping it, Harry put the pieces back together. |
The marble was finished and Humpty Dumpty lives! (Top View) |

Sometimes it's hard to know whether a Simpson planet is actually a planet, or really a reef. |
Top down view of the jellies over the planet. |
|
#11 - Josh Sable and Yoshinori Kondo |
Yoshi did the space capsule side in the first pic, Josh did the white ratty. |
Yoshi's dot work on this one is crazy sweet! |
An unusual ratty for Josh, with the dark ruby red down inside the ratty, a cool touch. |
|

Another one created by Josh, featuring more of his wonderful pinwheeling and milli |
This time a rare flower style inclusion from Yoshi was used, and it's UV! |

Awesome UV reaction under the black light, Yoshi nailed it. |

The 'Screaming Planet Swallower' |
Josh Simpson made the large 'planet' core, Ken Leslie then used glass paint to paint the planet swallowing face. |
Harry Besett encased the marble with clear and finished it. |
Bottom of the 3 3/4" marble. |
#14 - Josh Sable and John Kobuki |
This is John's half, the inside-out tech he used to use frequently in his marbles early on. |
Josh did the thunderbolt half and then finished it with the equatorial design. |
|
|
#15 - Wendy Bessett and Josh Simpson |
Back in the mid 2000's, Wendy and Josh did a small series of these collabs together, this one with an inner viewing keyhole. |
Josh gave Wendy his cores, which Harry B would clear dip, then Wendy would paint, then one final dip. |
Josh's core for this one is AWESOME, with a huge air trap and a blue inner core. |
Wendy painted the island and sky so that the persepctive is that Josh's section is below the surface of land and ocean! |
#16 - John Kobuki, Bob Snodgrass, Yoshinori Kondo and Josh Sable |
Snoddy skull |
Kobuki added the skull to his flower |

#24 - John Kobuki, Rose Roads and Josh Sable - "The East Meets West Project" |
"The East Meets West Project" was something I put together to bring Junichi Kojima together with the best American artists. |
Jun (Rose Roads) did an amazing job with the pattern in this one! |
Kobuki's Samurai - how perfect is THAT for The Eeat Meets West?!? |
Josh brought this marble all together to make it a tri-collab. |
#25 - Mike Gong and Rose Roads - "The East Meets West Project" |
This was the first time Rose Roads' work had ever been incorporated into work with American artists. |
Another great pattern by Jun, so clean! |
Mike killed the design on this one, SO wonderful and such a perfect match. |
|
#26 - Josh Sable and Rose Roads - "The East Meets West Project" |
Josh did a UV retticello flower for his half of this one, so it comes to life under the black light. |
This is my favorite blue Rose Roads pattern ever! |
|
Josh's usual killer millie pinwheeling ties it all together. |
#27 - Travis Weber and Rose Roads - "The East Meets West Project" |
This was a brand new design for Travis just for this marble, FANTASTIC! |
The usual tightness by Jun. |
You can see through Travis' pattern to the backside of the Rose Roads disc, SO awesome. |
Nice dot work to tie it together, incredible marble. |
#28 - Gateson Recko and Rose Roads - "The East Meets West Project" |
This was also a new space design that Gateson unveiled for this marble, SO amazing in hand! |
There's about a bajillion dots in the pattern, good gosh. |
Super killer marble, spaced out to the max! |
|
#29 - Eusheen Goines and Rose Roads |
Eush's crazy colorful fillacello!! |
Rose Roads dotticello. |
Eush pulled this one together, with a square opal and 3 opal spheres down inside. |
It also has a fumed UV implosion inside that blings under the black light! |
#30 - Yoshinori Kondo and Josh Sable |
Most of the Sable-Kondo collabs you will see are ones where Josh finished the marble. |
But this one is only a few where Yoshi got halves from Josh and put the marble together! |
So amazing to have Yoshi's incredible dot work wrapped and layered all around Josh's work. |
Stunning design and colors! |
#31 - John Kobuki, Bob Snodgrass, Rose Roads and Josh Sable |
Rose Roads dotticello. |
Kobuki added a Snodgrass skull to one of his flowers. |
Sable pulled it all together with his millies and opals. |

#33 - Gateson Recko and Rose Roads |
Gateson took an amazing RR disc and made it a UFO, hovering over a Universe! |
Several planets, an opal moon, a vortex and many other features can bee seen as you spin it. |
The backside features a clear window which lets you see through to the backside of the RR disc! |
Closeup of the window and RR disc, backlit. |
#34 - Richard Carter, Marni Schnapper and Robin Moore |
A tri-collab, with one of Robin's dot stars in the middle. |
One of Marni's implosion opals is on the other side, and Rick's wigwags tie it all together. |
And it glows! Robin used UV glass, and Rick used glow glass for the dots around the equator. |
|
#35 - Richard Carter and Robin Moore |
Fantastic thunderbolt wigwag work from Rick is wrapped all around Robin's star. |
Separate sections are brought together nicely, with some sweet sparkle glass! |
Slyme dots, oooh yeaaah. |
And it glows! The black light really brings Robin's UV design to life and you get the complete picture! |
#36 - Eusheen Goines, Justin Cothren (WJC) and Nate Miers (N8) |
Nate brought this marble together, incorporating two of the best fillacello/disc flip artists ever! |
This colorful beauty is Eush's killer contribution. |
Here's WJC's sacred geometry side using a lot of sweet OG Green Moss glass for the pattern. |
Nate's famous space scene-age brings it all together around the equator - you can see a UFO here. |
#37 - Bo Howe and Remy Schwartz (El Hefe) |
Remy's masterful fuming with dichro behind it highlights the main window. |
Bo is one of the most exciting up and coming fillacello artists. Remy incorporated his disc into the backside of this one. |
Triple fumed balloons, such awesome glass! |
|
#38 - Eusheen Goines and Beau Barrett |
Glass master Eush brought this thrilling collab together. Beau's side here is PERRRRFECT!!! |
Eush's implosion is incredibly deep, goes waaay down into the vortex. |
Beau's disc was incorporated as seamlessly as it gets, with nice fuming above it. |
|
#39 - Derek White (DWreck) and Aaron Golbert (Marble Slinger) |
An incredible marble from two of the world's most famous pipe artists. |
DWreck's face is REALLYnicely done in this one, and fills out his half of the marble. |
Slinger's fumed implosion is like a massive explosion, with crystals allll through the glass on his half! |
|
#40 - Mike Gong and Rose Roads |
This is a VERY special marble to me. I won this in a sight-unseen auction to benefit the Tiemeyers after their home burned down |
We had the RR disc for the auction and Mike agreed to make the marble. Once I won, he made this special John 3:16 Eater marble! |
The Rose Roads disc is as astounding as ever, laid over a bed of rainbow hair. |
Mike made the 3:16 millie special for this project, based on that crazy rainbow wig John 3:16 guy from the 70's. |
#41 - Tomomi Handa and Rose Roads |
One of THE ultimate collabs imaginable, the great Tomomi Handa using an RR mini-disc! |
Tomomi's equatorial flower design envelopes the RR disc perfectly, with a gorgeous butterfly. |
Tomomi's pattern is perfect, going with a Queen Anne's lace look that complements the RR side so well! |
Look at those flowers, AWESOME! |
#42 - Josh Sable, Rose Roads and Kevin O'Grady |
Josh put this marble together at my request, a Grateful Dead marble with special Sable millie. |
This is Kevin's 'Bertha' millie from a GD cover. Sadly, it bubbled during the encasement and checked during the process. |
RR's Dead mini-disc features a bear head, smiley face and peace sign. |
Bertha mini millie circle the equator with Josh's millie and pinwheeling! |
#43 - Yoshinori Kondo, Josh Sable and Mike Gong |
This is the only collab that came out of Mike's quake-shortened trip to Japan in March, 2011. |
Yoshi put the marble together using a disc Mike made during the one day they had on the torch together. |
Mike did a great job with his double fumacello, and this marble will be forever linked to the devastation that struck Japan. |
Yoshi had an extra Sable disc that Josh had sent him so he decided to make it a tri-collab. |
#44 - Yoshinori Kondo, Rose Roads and Daisuke Saito |
Yoshi created this for the May 2013 TY Expo in Toronto, the greatest marble ever created to this point in time! |
The incredible Rose Roads section, one of the best mandalas he has made. |
Team Japan 2013! |
The black widow spiders are just awesome, with the marble named 'Kumo-san'. |
#45 - Kenan Tiemeyer and Yoshinori Kondo |
For this huge masterpiece, Kenan brought a large Yoshi disc into the interior of the marble, loaded with fuming and opals. |
Crazy sweet shot of the layer of opals. |
Bling-blingin' fumey goodness with some great coloring around Yoshi's precision. |
Perfect touches of dichro were added on both sides as well. AMAZING! |
#46 - Josh Sable and Rose Roads |
This was a marble Josh made from a batch of mini discs I gave him, and he NAILED it, so tight. |
The Rose Roads disc is perfectly placed in there. |
This is a version of Josh's Flower of Life that he started doing in 2013, with some twists. |
Killer millies and pinwheeling, as usual from the master. |
#47 - Yoshinori Kondo and John Kobuki |
This is one of the greatest collabs we've ever seen in my opinion, wonderfully constructed by Yoshi. |
Yoshi took a gorgeous Kobuki opal flower and perfectly centered it with 5 opals around it inside. |
Face galore are seen in the mind-blowing dot work pattern Yoshi worked into the piece. |
Good gosh |
#48 - Mike Gong and James Daschbach |
I do believe this is my favorite Acid Eater ever! |
James took one of Mike's Eaters, then started layering on to it with his sleaving technique. |
James and Mike both proceeded to decorate the layers with their signature dot styles. |
This one has to be seen in hand, the depth and tightness of it all just blows you away. |
#49 - Richard Hollingshead and Adam Reetz |
This is one that Rich put together, matching up the color in his cane with Adam's filla SO well! |
Adam's fillacello rocks as usual, so nice, with that Disco Sparkle or Steel Wool (not sure which) in the middle. |
No opals in this one. |
Rich's usual perfect pinwheeling and dot stacking!! |
#50 - Jack Hanshaw and Adam Reetz |
This collab that Jack put together just sparkles and lights up a room! |
Jack used one of Adam Reetz's cabs with 4 opals inlaid into the fillacello design, WOW. |
Jack's reef life section is just brilliant, with a fantastic opal turned up on its side on top. |
Some nice dot work ties it all together, so gorgeous all in all! |
#51 - Jared DeLong and Dan Benway |
This is an extremely beautiful collab that Jared constructed, using Dan's signature fumed design as the base. |
There are flowers layered all over this beauty, too many to count (if you're lazy like me, heh). |
Jared then carved some fantastic patterns into the design, giving it that water flower look, so killer! |
|
#52 - Josh Sable and Yoshinori Kondo |
This is actually an earlier collab from 2010 that I picked up a little later. |
Josh put this one together, using one of the coolest Yoshi sections I've seen in one oof their collabs. |
So amazing how Yoshi did reverse directions twists so close to each other like that to give it a wavy effect for his pattern. |
And of course Josh's signature incredible millies and pinwheeling complete it, with a couple of trillion opals. |
#53 - Yoshinori Kondo and Mike Gong |
I think this is the best Acid Eater collab ever created to this point in time in my opinion. Absolutely BRILLIANT!! |
They made this in Yoshi's shop together during Mike's 2nd trip to Japan in October 2013. No quake this time! |
The meshing of their dot stacking is so sooo killer on this one. |
And then of course Yoshi's entire pattern with Mike's 7-hitter eater are just too much for the mind to take! |
#54 - Nate N8 Miers, Eusheen Goines and Rose Roads |
Nate the Great put this amazing collab together with a solar system on the south pole. |
An amazing icy Rose Roads disc sits on top of the lens. |
I wish the Eusheen section inside was easier to photograph, it is an amazing fumed implosion with opals. |
N8 decorated the equator with a massive space scene, including the UFO seen here. |
#55 - Mike Gong and Travis Weber |
Mike brought this amazing TDub section together with one of his masterpieces. |
This is the most beautiful opal stacking I've seen in my life to this point. It blings like nothing you've ever seen! |
The opal in the middle is a huge 30mm wonder. The smaller 2nd opal is seen here from the side w/ fumacello between top 2 opals. |
The blues of Travi's ringcalmo dot stack design are astounding in front of that opal! |
#56 - Mike Gong and James Daschbach |
This is one of the most amazing 3-dimensional collabs you'll ever see in hand. |
Mike and James passed this beauty back and forth, each adding layers of dot stacks. |
James created the layers with his amazing sleeving technique. |
So tight and clean, and all of those orbital lines are AWESOME! |
#57 - John Kobuki and Bob Snodgrass |
I've got quite a few Kobuki/Snoddy collabs in the collection, but this is BY FAR the best! |
John placed a perfect Samurai warrior over top of the Snoddy skull, complete with opal katana and head. |
There are only two of these made to this point, one of my all-time favorite collabs. |
Bonus! As if it needed one - this killer marble comes in a special box hand made by John. |
#58 - Yoshinori Kondo and Daisuke Saito |
This is a collab that Yoshi put together for me, a rare one between him and Daisuke. |
He essentially took a full Daisuke fumed marble with opals and then added his dot stacking on the outside. |
Marbles don't get more complete than this, solid goodness from the outside to the inner core. |
Oh yeah - AND it's chock full of UV glass which Daisuke used in his marble! |
#59 - Yoshinori Kondo, Rose Roads and Daisuke Saito |
Team Japan 2014! |
Once again, Yoshi took Rose Roads and Daisuke sections and worked his dot stacking magic around them! |
The detail is exquisite, you can stare for hours. I needed the Batman dot stacking in the collection for sure. |
Huge 30mm opal in the center, 13 opals altogether - and then BONUS, Daisuke's section is also UV! |
#60 - Akihiro Okama and Tomomi Handa |
Seeeeriously sweet marble here, made by Aki, with one of Tomomi's sections on the backside of a vortex. |
This is a new style of cane vortex for Aki, and whichever side you start with, you're shocked when you flip it over. |
There is fumed dots worked into the vortex twists as well! |
That lilac is SO perfect to set off Tomomi's incredible flower section - she is a MASTER. |
#61 - John Kobuki and Piper Dan Benway |
This is THE ULTIMATE Samurai marble, put together by John!! |
One of John's Samurai Warriors with an opal sword is in battle mode in front of Dan's pagoda. |
The pagoda scene Dan created, with two types of opal moon is so so killer!! |
Don't miss the opal head on the Samurai, oooh yeaah! |
#62 - Atsushi Sasaki and Takao Miyake |
Atsushi put this one together, using one of Takao's dotticellos, which has two opals floating above it. |
Atsushi's fuming is brilliant as usual. Down below Takao's disc is a gorgeous layer of crushed opal that the cam didnt capture. |
The backside has raised white frit over a red base, with geometric patterns etched and molded into it. |
|
#63 - Travis Weber and Ryan Fitt |
Travis put this one together, a perfect pairing for one of Ryan's amazing eyeballs! |
The bloodshot eye looks sort of brain like, ha ha. |
|
Travis' new style dot stacking complements this one SO nicely, an absolute wonder in glass! |
#64 - Mike Gong and Gateson Recko |
Mike put this smaller marble together and KILLED it, with one of his opal UFO's flying around. |
This is the backside, with Mike's fume scratch, and an unbelievable green opal resting above it. |
Check out how the fume trail of the spaceship trails up out of the fume scratch from below. JAW....DROP!!!! |
Gateson's terra incognito planet in this one is an AWESOME example! |
#65 - John Bridges and Tim Keyzers |
Two different eyeball sections from John were used to complement Tim's amazing work in this beauty. |
The slyme honeycomb behind this iris is gorgeous glass in hand! |
I love the little double vortex eye effect going on behind the opal here. |
|
#66 - Jared DeLong and Piper Dan Benway |
I love this marble so much. Jared created it using some of Dan's famous Pagoda murrine. |
You can see through the marble from either side, with each side offering a different view of the two pagodas. |
Dan created the fumed landscape and flower milli around it, and Jared encased it all. |
Jared then added flowers and leaves on the outside, with the final step being to add that awesome watery texture to the marble. |
#67 - Jared DeLong and Grimm (Karl Taylor) |
This marble is large and INCREDIBLE. Jared packed Grimm's Alice in Wonderland theme into this wonderland of a marble. |
You see Alice of course with her talking flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc. |
Jared then added a whole host of his flowers, with a blue one in the middle. |
Finally, a beautiful carved water-like pattern on the surface completes this amazing creation! |
#68 - Jared DeLong and Christian Arnold |
This marble is mind-boggling. Jared created it with FOUR of CA's sections, showing the full life cycle of the Xenomorph. |
It starts with the hatching egg, then the Facehugger, then the curled up embryo, and finally the adult. |
Sooo AWESOME, with the hilarious juxtaposition of sweet blue flowers all around! |
Jared's surface cold-working to produce the water-like effect completes this absolute masterpiece. |
#69 - Christian Arnold and Jennifer Menzies |
Jennifer put together this marble, featuring an awesome example of one of Chris' full Xenomorphs from Aliens. |
The marble has an ancient archaic look to it, and the detail in the bony Xenomorph is astounding. |
I love how Jennifer created the wild stormy look on the marble, just like in the awesome movie! |
Three stormy planets ring the equator of the marble. |
#70 - Paul Katherman and Doug Conner |
This marble was created by Paul and includes a sweet section by Doug inside of the marble. |
This one was really hard to capture well - lots going on inside and hard to get the light down in there. |
Paul's fuming inside and out is killer, so shiny, and it's loaded with spikes! |
Here I tried to capture Doug's section better, a huge opal chunk, some silver mesh, an opal star and other things. |
#71 - Keisuke Yoshida and Mark Eastman |
Only two of these collabs were made by Keisuke, featuring cabs by Mark. |
Keisuke created a double fumed retti for the focal, and then 4 more retties around the equator. |
The cab by Mark featuring fumed and patterned dot work is INTENSE, so nice! |
|
#72 - Raven Copeland and Freddy Faerron |
Raven finished off this vortex marble by Freddy, featuring some of his own fuming as well. |
Freddy's rainbow fuming is off the charts awesome!! |
Raven added one of his sweet 'spaceflakes' to the backside. |
Can't get enough shots of that amazing fuming.... |
#73 - Jared DeLong and Tomomi Handa |
Jared created this collab using a can from Tomomi that I sent to him. |
As usual, Jared's work is PERFECT, bringing Tomomi's lacey flowers and his together in perfect harmony. |
Jared created this one large focal opal flower, with many other pastel flowers all around. |
|
#74 - Mike Gong and Eli Sipsas |
Eli's first collab with The Gongsta! |
It features a sweet 10mm white opal UFO with two of Mike's shrooms |
Eli took Mike's core and then added his own fuming to the outside |
There is lots of fumed stringer inside, I think made by Mike |
#75 - Tim Keyzers and Sean Clayton |
This is one of my new favorite marbles in the collection! |
Tim took one of Sean's special square opal nebula marbles and electroformed and carved it |
Sean created a bunch of nebula bubbles all over the backside of the marble, so awesome! |
Tim's carving and copper electroforming patterns are PERFECT for this collab |
#76 - Gateson Recko and Travis Weber |
This is an unbelievable Universe marble from Gateson featuring FOUR inclusions by Travis Weber! |
I snagged this at the 2015 Wheaton Marble Weekend show where Travis was the featured artist. |
So much going on - 2 TDub planets, 2 TDub nebulae, other Gateson goodness throughout |
AND it's UV, with each of Travis' elements containing Illuminati glass within! |
#77 - John Kobuki and Bob Snodgrass |
This is a super rare marble where John put one of his jellyfish on top of a Snoddy skull! |
I believe there might only be one other jellyfish collab, although it's a bit different style |
So nicely done as usual! |
This one is actually signed by Bob also, very rare. |
#78 - John Kobuki and Bob Snodgrass |
This is one of my favorites from John. He named it 'Geisha', since the backside looks exactly like one. |
From the front though, it is a Samurai Death Warrior! |
Perfection in glass, perfection in marbleocity! |
AND it came with this amazing case that John hand-made as well!! |
#79 - Ian Arremony and Eli Sipsas |
This marble was put together by Ian using some tubing from Eli |
The marble is hollow with Slyme windows over fume and then Ian sleeved it and rounded it out |
Suuuuper sweet effect, love how it turned out! |
Forgive my horrible pics, didn't see they were out of focus until too late. Will fix later |
#80 - James Daschbach and Mike Gong |
This little absolute gem was put together by James in 2012 using one of Mike's silver fumacellos |
You can see the progression of James' backside tech from 3 years ago |
Brilliant. Just brilliant. |
Once again, a PERFECT mashup of styles from two guys who were born to collaborate! |
#81 - Rose Roads, Takao Miyake and Josh Sable |
This marble was created as a demo for the Marble Masters 4 show held at the Goosefire Gallery in SoCal May 2016. |
Both Jun and Takao each worked for a couple of days on their cabs, Jun with his iconic river scene and Takao with his tribal |
Josh put the marble together on the last day of the show, masterful, incorporating 8 of Jun's milli around the equator. |
Simply put - one of the greatest marbles of all time, and I got to watch a lot of it being made! |
#82 - Josh Sable and Jason Gordon |
This is a marble Josh put together using one of Jason's LFD (Layered for Depth) sections. |
Josh worked some of his beautiful pinwheeling and milli into the backside. |
Jason's section is seriously DEEP, really cool glass and so colorful! |
Unique and absolutely one of a kind! |
#83 - James Yaun and Christian Arnold |
Here's a classic gem that James put together featuring one of Chris' Xenomorphs! |
The detail Chris got into this one is incredible, with awesome coloring, SO cool |
James added an Alien seed pod on his side of the collab, ha |
|
#84 - James Yaun and Carlos Montez |
For this marble, James took one of Carlos' scaled sections and added it to the back |
The fuming inside of this vortex gem is AMAZING!! |
An absolutely perfect combination of styles from these two |
Dichro and a blinging opal are inside as well, oh yeah |
#85 - John Kobuki asnd Aaron Slater |
Here John took one of Aaron'a reef cabs and placed it behind his jellyfish |
It's a beautiful jelly with its opal inside |
The detail in Aaron's anemone reef is flat out brilliant, so life like! |
The whole thing is chock full of UV, which I was too lazy to photograph, doh! |
#86 - Chad Parker and Rick/Marni Carter |
Here is one of Chad's famous Monsterz, worked into a collab by Rick and Marni! |
Chad's faces are always crazy fun. |
I love the opal work Rick and Marni did with this one, tons of bling! |
|
#87 - Jason Gordon and Dan Benway |
Jason put this collab together, using one of his super deep LFD (Layered For Depth) sections. |
He then added one of Dan's Japanese pogodas floating in the lens! |
Awesome sparkle dot work on the back. |
|
#88 - Jason Lee and Tara Roberts |
This is an amazingly fun collab, with WAY more depth to the UFO design than the pics show, very 3D |
Jason and Tara worked together on all of the various murrine you see in the image |
Very cool alien image as well on the back which Jason created! |
And here's the BEST part - the tractor beam lights up like crazy when you hit it with the black light, woohoo!! |
#89 - Travis Weber and Piper Dan Benway |
This fun one features Dan's UV Ghost City floating over Travis' Gravity Well! |
The geometric gravity well sucks everything in its path, so this Ghost City will soon be no more.... |
One of Dan's fumed sections is seen on the backside |
UV shot of the Ghost City |
#90 - Happy Harold Cooney and Kevin Engelmann |
Kevin created the fumed core, and Harold wrapped it up all purdy. |
Harold's cane work is legendary, and it is tight and sweet on this gem! |
|
|
#91 - Gateson Recko and Rose Roads |
This amazing Universe marble by Gateson features a small cab from Junichi, fashioned into a planet! |
Gateson's usual stunning planets and other space surround it. |
|
A pointillism planet - brilliant! |
#92 - Tim Keyzers and Sean Clayton |
Another stunning display of spherical space art from this dynamic duo! |
Sean's nebula core has a Star Collector and is chock full of stars all through it. |
Tim's electroforming and carving on this piece is stellar to say the least!! |
Sean mixed in some Lucy glass at the bottom of the core to add some UV glow, SO cool. |
#93 - Stephen Boehme and Karl Taylor |
Celebrating Alice in Wonderland, here is Stephen's Mad Hatter image! |
This masterpiece combines the best of both of these legendary murrine artists. |
This is the greatest thing, Karl's Alice image staring into the Alice in the mirror, which is Stephen's image! |
