Steph Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 This is an art use ... but with the marbles being a tool in the art, not a final part of it. Okay ... steelies ... you may not call them marbles. But wow. "In a 21st century take on the traditional Zen sand garden, artist Bruce Shapiro invented the Sisyphus Machine, an elaborate kinetic drawing machine that uses magnets to drag rolling steel marbles through a thin layer of sand to create complicated mandala-like patterns."

Steph Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 "Marbles in the soup" ... marbles used for food photography ... to force the good stuff to the top of the bowl. http://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-ceo/2008/may/marbles-in-the-soup/ https://muse.jhu.edu/article/468053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 2 hours ago, Steph said: "Marbles in the soup" Hopefully Soup does not claim against us for this headline ... But its new to me that real food gets photographed. Usually very fine looking artficial objects get shot. So why not pushing up things in the soup for a better look with some marbles.

Steph Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 "Marbles are not only used as toys, but they are also used in filtration systems, as a mixing aid in spray paint cans, and have even been used by NASA in a space balloon for different gauge tests." That's from the Marble King site, http://www.marblekingusa.com/industrial-marbles.html. Pretty sure we haven't mentioned outer space yet in this thread.

Steph Posted April 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Another possibility to research -- I just heard that it was said that marbles were blasted in coal mines to loosen the coal. ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
