Little Glass Spheres

“We were fascinated by the little glass spheres, by those dark waves of color, some narrow and drawn out into several swirls, and others that widened out in the center of the marble into a single bundle and thinned out smoothly at the ends.
~José María Arguedas

There's just something about marbles that capture the imagination. Maybe its the perfect sphere so elusive in nature.

I particularly liked "Blue marble on rocky terrain." This really shows a wonderful contrast between the uneven surface and the pure blue marble.

Was also amazed by Cathy Richardson's School of Blue Fish!
