"Seven Sacks and Snacks" Size: 2.33" Price: SOLD


This ode to glass, football, skulls and the Number Seven comes from my collection, and it is ooooooh so hard to let go of, because I adore this marble! This piece just oozes character, and you literally can't help smiling when you see it, ha ha. You want a marble to brighten your day? THIS guy is it! The interior of the marble is actually all clear glass, but the eyes look dark even though they cut through all of the color, since the first layer of glass around the clear is dark. For the circles on the sides of the helmet, Nathan used a mixture of crushed pyrite to give it that sparkle. The way he carves the glass and uses a variety of mixed media to bring about the finished piece is just BRILLIANT! Nathan is a true creative master, and he was just showing off when he made this fun guy.
