Glass artist Bashi Alé making a 24k gold fumed Sea Anemone(air trap implosion) style marble.

To purchase a Sea Anemone marble like the one seen in this video please visit my Etsy store. http://www.etsy.com/shop/GlassWorksBoutique

The tool used in this video is a 2" Vin Pin tool by Weaver Industries. I highly recommend their line of graphite tools and molds. http://stores.ebay.com/weaverind

Please Note: Fuming with precious metals is hazardous to your health. I have awesome ventilation in my studio but I still wear a respirator when fuming with gold or silver.

  • do you have trouble with the marble sticking to the vin tool?

  • @josephludens I haven't had that problem...I try not to leave the molten glass on the brass pins for long.

  • why where you wearing the mask? I have never seen anyone have to do that before.

  • @pezcandy8 Gold fume is very toxic. I have good ventilation in my studio but when I'm working with certain raw materials I wear the mask for extra protection.

  • thats a badass little pokey pad you got there my friend. what is it?

  • @Btcrn Thanks. It's a Vin Pin tool by Weaver Industries. They are available for purchase on eBay.

  • @pezcandy8 there's no reason to not wear a mask when working solids. I'd wear one 24 hours a day if I could.

  • that was just bad ass

  • Very nice. And like me a beginner the sway back and forth gives it a lil "life" to it, when I've tried it. Weaver does have awesome molds

  • @fireandglass13 Trust me...I was thinking the same thing. A hot marble in the lap is a sure way to ruin a good day and a marble! :-0
