Marbles & H2Orbs by David Rosenfeldt

David Rosenfeldt started his glass adventure in 1990 making stained and fused glass kaleidoscopes. He is a self-taught artisan. In 1994 David began glass blowing and flame sculpting. This led to marble making and subsequently, the introduction of the H2Orb.

David uses a variety of colors in his marbles and a vast palette of dichroic glass. “I really enjoy making marbles. Marbles cross all boundaries: age, race, religion, cultures and they bring smiles and memories to all.” All of David’s marbles are signed and dated.

The H2Orb was originally designed as a liquid-filled marble for viewing in your kaleidoscope. David blows the orb and when it is annealed (cooled at a controlled rate), fills it with flame sculpted glass canes. The orb is then filled with liquid and sealed at its belly button! Each H2Orb is signed.

David’s inspiration come from a variety of sources; the roar of the furnace at 3 A.M., the sound of the wind through the palm trees, the beauty and color in nature, the ocean, symmetry and smiles.
