$98.00
A Black Hole is a region of space that has so much mass

The term "black hole" is used because no light can 
escape from inside of the region, creating the illusion that it has disappeared or become a hole in space.
Glass Eye Studio has designed the Black Hole paperweight with dense black layers of dichroic glass to create a swirling 
vortex on an endless backdrop.

Below are photos of the series in our gallery:

For the creation of one of the planets in the Celestial Series clear glass is brought to a temperature of 2,200 F inside a fiery furnace.  The artist uses a five foot long steel pole to gather the molten glass that will be formed into one of the planets.   The inside of the planet as we see it is created by rolling this molten glass in many different trays of colored glass powder.  The colors having been added, the artist then hand crafts the shape of the colored molten glass using hand tools.  Next the artist adds 22 karat gold leaf and pieces of dichroic glass to the surface to produce an extraordinary interchange of color and light in each planet.  The planet itself having been created, it is then surrounded by clear molten glass and shaped into it's final rounded form using a hand-held metal block.  Then all that remains is to cut and polish a window into this world, that you may observe it for all time to come.  Each piece of art is signed and dated.
