"Pansy Peace" Size: 1.42" Price: SOLD

This is Chris' famous pansy flower that he liked to do, along with one of his killer butterflies floating on top of it. Chris is the only one I've ever seen do non-millie butterflies like this, floating on the lens of the marble in this way. This style is a definite must for every serious collection, and this is your chance! By the way, the line you see around the butterfly isn't a flaw, but rather it's a join line from where the two sections of the marble were brought together. This is something you can't avoid with boro, and usually artists cover the line up with pinwheeling or something like that, but of course you couldn't do that with this marble and achieve the same effect. It isn't as noticeable in normal lighting, but it's still visible. In my opinion it doesn't really detract from the beauty, since in hand, your eyes look at the whole of the marble, the marble is smaller than these pics of course, and you just don't really see it that much.
