Early Swirl Dot Stack Marble

A one-of-a-kind early Kraz Glass marble from the first time I experimented with swirling dot stacks into the design.

This piece combines teal and dark blue dot work over a darker base, with the pattern pulled into a flowing, curved layout instead of staying in a more traditional stacked formation. It comes from a stage where I was starting to branch out and see how dot stacks could move, stretch, and create more motion inside a marble.

Because this was my first time trying this approach, it captures that early experimental energy—learning how the design changes with heat, shaping, and movement while still creating something bold and unique.
