I love that the enamels brought out all the detail, that really works.

But I also liked seeing the marbles in the first picture, now hidden by enamel. If I were doing this sort of thing, I would experiment with making the hexagons of the former marbles part of the design--probably not Frank's head, but something simpler, where the pattern would add to the design.

I don't fuse, so am just theorizing; could you coat some of the marbles with enamel or fine frit before putting them in the mold? then you'd get balls or multidimensional hexagons or spots of color throughout
