This large marble measures about 2.25 inches and is inspired by tube sponges in the coral reef. The colors that form the tubes in the marble are created by layering rods of glass and then stretching the rods into another rod that is then cut into short sections called murrine. After the murrine are formed, I put the coral reef together and finish off the marble in a graphite mold to give it a perfect sphere shape.

This is a one of kind piece. The vase is inspired by the colors of a glass float attached to fishing nets. When the ocean currents swirl and move the floats you see colors mix and blend highlighting a beautiful aquatic palette.

This one of kind hand sculpted glass starfish was created by John Gibbons of Eureka, California. It measures about 6" in diameter.

I try to capture the essence of the tide pool in this optical and rainbow colored glass. The starfish is created with a bright rainbow color pattern on the bottom that gets magnified from the thick optical layer of clear glass on the top, the starfish almost looks wet. The pattern on this particular star is called Murrini (or Murrine) and is an Italian glass technique where I take a glass cane (long rod of glass) and cut it in cross-sections to reveal a pattern that mimics the natural texture of the starfish in the wild.

This hand blown glass octopus is an earthy amethyst tone speckled with smokey blue and copper. It measures about 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall with sinister eyes.

This item is  made to order. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for recreating.

This pair of dueling octopus is struggling to rip open a footed aqua blue blown glass bubble. John heated the vessel's top opening to make it appear that the octopus' legs are pulling it apart. The color of this octopus pair is a speckled magenta. 

It measures about 20" wide x 8" height x 7" deep. 

The Octopus Tug-of-War sculpture is a combination of three separate pieces of glass, fused together with a 5,000 degree torch. This sculpture requires the assistance of two highly skilled glass artists to create. First, John sculpts each octopus and then puts it in a holding oven with the help of an assistant. Simultaneously, his other assistant is gathering the glass and blowing the vessel. John finishes the vessel, then takes the octopus out of the oven and reheats it to a precise temperature. The octopus gets so hot that the legs flop around, so he has to attach it to the vessel quickly, fusing each leg with a 5,000 degree torch. 

I made this oil lamp after seeing a picture of one that was discovered on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Egypt. Supposedly it was thousands of years old!

I also liked the form of the lamp; I never see it in glass. The lid of this piece is fused on so it does not come off. This is not a functioning oil lamp, but a decorative piece for an eclectic decor.

The piece measures about 8” tall and 11.5” wide.

*This piece has cracks, please refer to photos.

Hand blown glass vase. This vase measures about 14 inches tall x  6 inches wide.

This vase is made by layering, certain colors on top of each other and then putting the vase into a mold. The mold creates a diamond pattern on the vase and separates the colors, revealing the layers beneath. The clear lenses in the center of the diamond draw you into the depths of the vase. I call this color combination tide pool green. This is a one of a kind piece.

This vase was designed and crafted by me, John Gibbons, at my studio in Eureka, CA.
