Skull Marbles

Artist, Brad Pearson in Richmond, VA challenges us to another game with some new skull themed marbles he made recently.  He wrote: "All this work is made at my RVA studio, and was made using lampworking techniques. I draw a lot of the inspiration for these from the day of the dead motifs."

It was wonderful to hear again from one our early contributors. We are always happy to see what you are currently working as well as knowing that you are still thinking about us. Thank you for sharing some of your recent skull themed creations with us.

Stone Skull Carvings

Sam Sutherland most recently submitted his amazing skull table, and today he's back with more excellent carvings. I liked all of these equally so I had to share them all. The first and third skulls are created from marble, and the second set(with two skulls) are macedonian limestone and conchuela limestone.







Stone carving is one of the most primitive and ancient art forms, yet it's still one of the most impressive. I really love the historic feeling you get even when a piece was just recently finished. The ability to create such smooth characters from the hard minerals is a talent that I could only hope to acheive...but for now I'll just continue being a blockhead. Thanks again for the impressive skull work, Sam!

For all the Skull Marbles

Glass Artist Brad Pearson wrote: "Here are a few of my marbles, these designs are one of the most popular designs I make. Marbles are about 1.5" and handmade out of Italian glass using a torch and glass rods."

I am a great admirer of the glass arts. These designs are amazing, I love that a piece of art can fit in to your pocket. Do you also make mibs or just the shooters? It would be fun to have a custom set of 13 + 2 done with skulls for my next round. Thanks for submitting this work and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
