I won't be impressed until you build a Mary in a Bathtub.

Man, I've missed you monkey!

and nice gazing ball, BigV. lemme know what sorts of epiphanies come to you whilst you gaze (we call it maize).

I like the flame torch idea.

Could you set the marbles in a concrete or grout-like substance, leave it to harden then either put it through a potters kiln, or work it over artistically with an oxy torch? So that the marbles got just the right amount of melty so they begin to fuse together.

Nice V. Very creative. Glad to hear TWYL is happy with it as well.
Thats always a HUGE PLUS.

It would crack me up if you did all this work to make the pattern melt and be swirly, and the end result looked just like... that swirly pattern on every bowling ball ever seen.

I like it bumpy, myself.
That's what she said!
