Wakana is a Japanese glass artist who visited us at the Best Bead Show in Tucson, where I met her in person and bought these from her. She uses very soft Japanese Satake glass in her work, and is able to get some AMAZING detail out of it. I asked her to make this Koi Pond marble for me after seeing a paperweight like it which she had made. She obliged and brought it from Japan for me - I believe it may be the first satake marble she has made.
The paperweight that inspired.
