While playing with my camera, I thought it could be fun to photograph a marble. And preferably one that was as transparent as possible. Coincidentally, I got a couple in the house last year, because I needed three such copies for the cover of 'The Wonderballs'. (What that is? See at the bottom of this blog!) I purchased a number of different sizes and types from those marbles at the time.

I would love to take you in my experiments.

This copy is on a map I made of one of my paintings.

The effect is very nice, but you can hardly see that this is a fully transparent specimen of marble.

I picked up a slightly bigger marble for the photo next door and went outside with it.
