Blue Lutz in this marble. It's the first time we've used blue lutz

No time for pics tonight. Too much visiting going on. Maybe get to it tomorrow.

We got lots of gold lutz, gold frit, and gold lutz ribbons. Hope to have time to post some pics tonight. We also have something new - blue lutz not blue aventurine. Hope to show some of that tonight too. Sistersville starts tomorrow. Everyone is moving in today.

Real Silver

We've been working on this intentionally since 2008 (not) and we finally got it down right. The Marble Buddy's Tin Lizzie run has made a CAC look alike flame that we named "The Galen". Here are 3 pics of one marble.

Steph most of it is colorized mica. i'll be doing a pic later of a marble that each one of us received 4 of that is silver. Looks like plating on the marble.

Lots of reds in the Tin Lizzie's Red and Gold, with flame patterns. Lots of flames in this run. More reds Love the busy pattern in these reds. One brown one sneaked in. Really nice red and white No problems with the run. Everything went smooth.

Add some frit Some green and brown Some pastel colors Two views of some pinks

We danced today in Ellenboro with David McCullough and Sammy Hogue at Sammy's Mountain Marbles. Here are some pictures of the Marble Buddys Tin Lizzies . Some colorized mica More colorized mica Colorful Swirls

I don't remember the old crow having 3 marbles either. Did they?

they've added an extra "A" in the name. Maybe that's how it's allowed. The logo looks the same though. If a patent has run out or ownership of a name has run out, I guess they can do it.

I like numbers 1, 2, and 4.

Some of my favorites.

They are so pretty!

I think they're pretty!

Neat marble Al.

Steph, the one you showed is a Vitro Agate Peacock. I must have something wrong with my settings. I get bold, italics, and underlines when I don't mean to. I'm not screaming.

Thanks! if it had pontils then it is not a contemp. Nice save for Rich. it looks a lot like Charlie Gibson of Milton, WV but he was modern and would not have left pontil marks.
