"Hippie Holiday" Size: 2.15" Price: SOLD


Ooooh man, you should see this one in hand! One of the boldest and brightest marbles I've ever seen, brighter than these pics show, and one of the best examples of color stacking I've seen yet. While Nathan gets all of the accolades for the carved aspect of these marbles, sometimes we forget that Doug Whaley is behind the scenes creating absolutely perfect blanks for Nathan to work with, with all of those colors painstakingly layered on there to the exact specification that Nathan lays out in order to be able to achieve the finished look he is after. It is brilliant hot glass work to go along with the cold working wonder that Nathan then follows up with. This marble highlights ALL of those skills from both artists in superior colorful detail, so perfect in every way. I absolutely love LOOOOOVE the juxtaposition between the circles and triangles that Nathan created in the two halves of this marble, SO sweet! This is an absolute masterpiece, SO hard to let go of! Signed with carved 'NG' insignia.
