marboman

Cool pic's ,especially that car mooing along,gota wo

That's an amazing pic!! Bo

The sun is shining so I got some pics of this beauty.Size is 1-1/4".Can anyone tell me who made it? Thanks Bo

Gosh,I can't believe it but on the right side that group of three marbles? the dark one in the middle is that a ........buttcrack?????

Thanks for remembering I am this many today.When I counted them up and looked ,didn't look too bad.Bo

Yes they are bubbles,I have double checked three times already.Some bubbles go through the vein some are laying on the vein not completley pentrating it.But all the bubbles are in the veins and not the clear base glass.There are alot of bubbles in this marble.I like that name Swiss Cheese ,first of this type I've seen.Bo

I was rummaging around under the seat of my Toyota truck this morning looking for a bolt and what did I find? A bag of marbles,there was a large horseshoe several cross- through cats and this really cool four vein cats'eye with tiny bubbles that look like holes.I remember some discussion of this type the other day and now I have one,amazing.Check it out.Bo

?

Very nice colors, excellent! Bo

Here is a box of shooters ,all are 7/8" or larger. Bo

Here's another Pelt box.Mostly rainbo's and sunsets with a few fancy

Thanks Steph for noticing,it's a patriot stripped opaque.I am working on transparency now,and I still have a long way to go.I must say though that drawing these beautiful objects is very soothing,it relaxes me.My art teacher likened one of my peices to a mandala ball.I guess drawing circles reduces stress and anxiety,how do you like that.Judy loves them, so I can't lose. Bo

This my cat Bongo ,we found him behind Little Ceasers when he was just a kitten.He was covered in fleas and a mess,but we cleaned him up and he is a great freind but he's still a little wild.

Yea, I agree,one might be real ???? The others look contemporary.Bo

Thanks Ziggyzora,glad you like them

Now that you mention it it does look like a christmas tree ornament.The first pic is supposed to a clear marble with an onion in it.Luckily I like drawing but it wears me out after about four hours,more practice.

I'm at the point now that I am learning to do transparent glass,so of course it had to be marbles.Yes the first marble has a pontil,thanks for asking.Here is a pic of the first one before it became an onion skin.The red bled too much so I took it further for better or worse.It's all practice.Bo

No time to grind pontils here,kind of my trademark.Got one of these? It's a Superman Stipped opaque.This is sooo...... rare

Well I have finally started making my own marbles.I have made some that are one of a kind like this Onionskin.Dia. is 7"-8".Very rare marble.Bo

Get paid while your learn! What a deal

Thanks Felicia.I thought I would give you a better look at the Thrashers.I like my oxblood tar tar,one on the left looks like it has some meat in it.

Thanks Steph and Alan for your opinions.Steph the Thrasers look ox to me,maybe a discussion about Akro one day? Great day all

What the heck are they?

nice marble!!!

Hello Steph,first of all I don't want to argue with anyone ,I would prefer to reason with you concerning this marble. You reason that since this marble was made in the same manner and with the intention to make oxblood then it must be oxblood and can be called oxblood regardless of the color that results?If I intended to make a marble and it came out flat as a pancake could I still discribe it as an orb?/ball?/marble? after all that was my intention,and process?I do see some streaks of red on the marble ,could that be what is oxblood about this marble?Is there aventurine in the purple? With all respect to you, Windy and Edna I simply dissagree with this new expanded definition of oxblood.Just curious about other colors or is purple oxblood the only new definition/addition? I will also say that the colors of the marble are very unusual.Off white, green,purple and red.These colors lack a pattern of coherance IMHO.I think too many colors, my eye identifies a disunified color,purple.Just one mans opinion of moonlight.Bo
