Josh Sable, Rose Roads & Kinoko Heads: "Legend Times Two" Size: 1.51" x 2.24" Price: SOLD


This collab marble created by Josh was one of the first two Rose Roads collabs in the world to incorporate TWO of his cabs into them, one on each side of the marble. This means you get TWICE the crazy detail of a normal RR collab, wooohoo! This one features Josh's usual tighty-tight pinwheeling with some of that famous lavender color, and then four AWESOME millie slices and four poppin' opals. This is an absolutely gorgeous marble, sooooo much detail packed into this perfectly sized marble! But wait, THERE'S MORE!! In its second life, this marble has become a pendant! The marble was shipped off to the famous Kousuke Oyama, aka Kinoko Heads, in Japan to do his amazing leather wrapping treatment of the marble, and the result is an INCREDIBLE gem of a pendant. The marble sits tightly in its leather wrap, but at the same time, it can be rotated freely around in the leather to see all sides of the marble. It is double-sided, so you can simply flip the pendant around to see the other side of the marble, or you can rotate the marble to highlight the blue pinwheeling and millies and opal if you want. The possibilities are literally endless! The leather wrap itself is simply mind-boggling, looking just like wood....but it's not. Somehow, and I have NO IDEA how, even though I know the process fairly well, Kousuke created two thunderbolt wigwag patterns in the leather. What the.....how crazy is THAT!! All of those thin color lines you see are separate layers of leather if you can believe it. Masterful doesn't begin to describe the work of this man! This is a legendary piece right here, to say the least. The marble is 1.51" while the pendant as a whole is 2.24" in length. It is signed KH on the bottom, and the marble itself is signed 'RR x Sable 2013'.
