⚫️Saturn prototype

For artists who want to create universes, Saturn is one of the creations they would like to create.
I tried various things myself, but I struggled for many years to properly express Saturn's rings.
I finally came up with a solution to this problem recently and created it. I think the Saturn itself worked well, but when I put Saturn inside the transparent glass, there were inevitably areas where the refractive index of light was different (the Schlieren phenomenon).

This fluctuation in the transparent part does not seem beautiful to SORA, so we have decided not to make Saturns with this design in the future. This Schlieren phenomenon is difficult to suppress. I hope we can solve this problem...

However, there is a possibility that I may create something like Saturn in a different way, so I hope you will look forward to it.

This item is being sold at a low price in the hope that you can feel the breath of creating a piece. Please read the photos and description carefully before purchasing.

Quality ★

*About the number of stars
The number of stars (from 0 stars to 3 stars) indicates how much you personally like SORA.
Products that are judged to be of high quality have many stars. Products with many stars are priced accordingly.
Of course, this is SORA's personal opinion, so please consider it as a guideline.

About the base

Precautions

Each marble is handmade, so while we ensure its decorative quality, it may not be an exact sphere.
Some pieces may have small holes caused by bursting air bubbles, but we only list those that we have determined to be of satisfactory quality and aesthetic value.
Since it is a sphere, there is a possibility that it may roll off, so be sure to choose a place where you place it so that it will not fall.

The glass in the artwork has many areas that block light, but the lens effect can cause light to be concentrated and this could lead to a fire, so please avoid placing the artwork in a location exposed to direct sunlight.
