I love glass pebbles, marbles, and beads. I have a bunch and always looking for more. Plastic ones are just as cool to me, doesn't have to be a gem to make me appreciate it. I love the ones with iridescent tones , and the way the light reflects. That's me shiny baubles make me coo. Most have noticed I'm crazy for bubbles as well, and kaleidoscopes designs using reflective materials. Some may think I've lost my marbles, but nope, got them all, and painted a few in this. Crazy is a state of mind, some of us just know what to do with the crazy part, be creative! LOL! Thinking of doing a series of baubles, let me know what you think of that idea. This is digitally painted, not a manipulated/photoshopped work. I drew it, painted it, every bit. I just used a Wacom tablet (electronic tablet with wireless pen, and art software that I chose the brush size, medium to mimic, etc.) Best of all, no clean up mess!
