Portal of Inception Revealed in this Vortex Marble Design: Build Episode 23

In this video I create a borosilicate glass vortex marble from start to finish.
I start out by making a separate core element with gold and silver fuming in a dimensional pattern. This core is then fused with the main clear rod which vortex marbles are built on. The background is filled with dark cobalt frit in an open structure and then solid red. The back side is built out in my usual process with raked color lines using tan, blue green, and amber purple floating over the reflective base.
Learning and exploring new ideas for artistic designs in glass is an ongoing journey. I hope you enjoy this video series showing the whole process. If you are interested in glassblowing and how contemporary vortex marbles are made, this video series has it covered.

Wow! The Frit with the Opaque Red and then reflected gold fume makes it look like Hot Coals and Embers! Thanks again Bill

The glowing coals effect is definitely a nice look. Glad you enjoy it!
