Another early Kraz Glass bean-shaped dot stack marble, made while I was still experimenting with how stacked dots stretch, shift, and distort as the marble is shaped.
This piece has a darker, moodier look with teal and blue accents running through the surface and interior. The dot work wraps around the curved bean form, creating a design that changes depending on the angle you view it from.
Like a lot of my earlier dot stack work, this one captures the learning process itself—figuring out spacing, heat control, layering, and how much the pattern moves once the glass starts taking shape.
