Marbles and Glass Beads Pile

Round marbles fill the frame edge to edge, each one a swirl or ribbon of color trapped in glass: cat's-eye stripes of blue and gold, cloudy moon-like spheres pitted with craters, and cores of red or green twisting through clear centers. Small faceted beads and thin glass rings wedge into the gaps, adding flashes of orange, purple, and teal. Painted highlights sit on each sphere like a single bright dot, giving every marble a glassy, convex shine. No two neighbors share the same pattern, though the same handful of motifs, swirl, ribbon, speckle, keep reappearing in new pairings, pressed together into a dense mosaic with barely a sliver of background showing through. With no single marble standing apart, a solver ends up sorting the picture back together by color, one small circle at a time.
