Steph Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Please! Thanks! I'm feeling a need for some more education in handmades. Plus eye candy is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Single ribbon or divided ribbon? Single naked ribbons are one of my favs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm not picky! The question arose about how to tell ribbon cores apart from cat's eyes. I guess most of the time that might be "easy", but maybe not for a handmade newbie, especially not with examples like this one below floating around. So I'm tossing it out to the pros.

catfish Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I don't have any handmade photos on my work computer here.....unfortuneatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 You must be talking about a 3 color naked single ribbon core if it's getting confused with a cats eye. A handmade marble is usually pretty easy to distinguish from a machine made marble ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I mean, if it's got vanes there's a (extremely) good chance it's a cats eye, pontils would indicate handmade. If it's got more than one ribbon, or a secondary "layer" like caging = most likely not a cats eye. Here's a couple that aren't cats eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 well it is late and I forgot where I have all of mine but here are a few. also some flat German cat eyes that could look like the hand made ribbon cores . bad pics but it is late and the day is getting short . did way to much today .

Kingfisher Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm sure I have some, just not sure which box... Then I'd have to use my new camera... Not today sweetie... Galen was a real help getting me set-up... Have to go up-stairs in the cold room to take photos... Looking at 8 to 12 inches snow tomorrow... Burrr!!!!

emorrill Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks, I'm starting to get the hang of it. I know that most of my marbles are pre 1950. Does that make a difference? I'll try to get pictures. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
