"Majestic Tapestry" Size: 3.26" Price: SOLD

This incredible marble or sphere as Ro calls them is one of the crown jewels that he has ever created. It has been in my collection since Ro made it in 2010, but I am releasing it to somebody else to enjoy. This is one of Ro's special designs where he brings cut sections of different murrini glass together seamlessly as a whole, a marble that is utterly mind-boggling in its complexity and takes days to put all together after months of preparation. There are some fantastic highlights in this one, including the night sky flowing out of the window. It also has this beautiful green glass behind some of the clear windows in the sections, giving an awesome 3-dimensional texture to the surface with the green showing through - I looooove this feature, SUCH gorgeous glass! There is so much to explore in this marble. If you know anything about Ro's murrini process, your head will spin when you think about how much work went into bringing something like this into being!! And that's just the sections of murrini themselves. When you then consider how Ro was able to bring those cut sections all together like a puzzle, it's just too much. CRAZY awesome marble, really hard to let go of, but something I need to do.
