The Cool Aqua Starfish is created with an aqua white color pattern on the bottom that gets magnified from the thick optical layer of clear glass on the top.

Choose between Flat and Creeping Styles.

Images are of Creeping. Flat starfish will rest on a flat surface with no legs bent over the side. Creeping starfish have two bent legs, capturing the moment when the starfish is creeping away, just like it clings to rocks in the ocean.

It is about 5" in diameter.

Each starfish is a unique work of art and hand signed by John Gibbons.

Glamorous Precious Phenomenon

The Coronado Sparkle glass starfish was hand sculpted from molten glass to resemble the sparkle of the waves lapping against the Coronado shores. Small bits of iron pyrite and mica are found in the sand in Coronado, creating a sparkle and shimmer in the sunlight.  I used pink dichroic glass to imitate this beautiful phenomenon.  An earthy tide pool blue is embedded into the glass behind the dichroic to resemble the salty water.

Full of movement, this hand-sculpted glass turtle swims across a flat surface with its front fins bent upwards and back fins kicking. The turtle's shell is created with a thin layer of Dichroic Glass added to the bottom of the starfish, which is metallic and glitter-like. The Dichro gives the appearance of shimmering sand. The color is covered by a thick layer of clear glass, creating a wet appearance, as though it is underwater. 

It measures about 5.5”x 6.5”x 2” 

Hand blown Dichroic Galaxy glass marble. This medium-sized marble is made by using blue and green colored glass, and then adding a layer of pink dichroic glass to give it a pink shimmer. It is inspired by a spiral galaxies which contain billions of stars, gas and dust. When the glass is hot, the color and dichroic are twisted and the marble is shaped into a sphere by using a graphite mold.

The Flattened Rainbow Bottle is a switch-axis glass vase with spiraling rainbows twisting in opposite directions. This hand blown glass vase was created by rolling colorful glass rods onto a bubble of molten glass and then rotating the glass bubble 90 degrees, which causes the spiral to go from the bottom to the side. Then the vase is flattened with thick cork paddles to enhance the optics of the two opposing spirals.

I try to capture the essence of the starfish in a tide pool. The starfish is created with the color pattern on the bottom of the starfish that gets magnified from the thick layer of optical clear glass on the top, making the starfish almost look wet. The pattern on this particular star is called Murrine, 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. People have also said that it looks like barnacles on the starfish.

Purchase is for 1 skull magnet.

Magnets are about 2” x 3”

Each skull was made by casting molten glass into graphite molds, then finished off with a flame polish and quality check before heading into the oven to cool. Once fully cooled magnets are attached to the backsides of each magnet.

This large Green Coral Reef glass marble 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. After the tube sponges are formed, I put the coral reef together and finish off the marble in a graphite mold to give it a perfect spherical shape.

Approximately 2 1/4 inches in diameter.

This green aqua murrine vase measures w: 5in x h: 10.75in

This vase is made up of small colorful pieces that I make called murrine. Murrine are created by layering colored glass from the center outward. This layering of colors created a molten piece of glass about the size of a soup can that I stretch across the studio to create a 1/2 to 3/4 inch rod. We then put the rods in the annealing oven to cool over night. The next day we slice the rods onto 1/4 inch wafers that get laid out on a ceramic kiln shelf into a mosaic like arrangement. The wafers are heated and fused together into a rectangular piece of glass. A blowpipe is then rolled along the edge and the flat sheet of glass turns into a cylinder. The bottom gets closed off and now there is a bubble of glass on the end of my blow pipe. Three layers of molten clear and gathered onto the bubble and it is blown and shaped with the help of my assistant into the vase pictured.

This Aqua starfish has a small loop in its leg so that it can be hung on the wall or in a window.

It measures about 5.5 inches wide.

The Jade Vase is made from blown glass with an elegant jade green color, topped with clear glass wrapped in 24 karat gold foil. This vase was inspired from a jade necklace worn by John’s Aunt, which she got in China.
