AWESOME!!! hope you had a great birthday!!

Dale's studio is here in WA... there's a local tavern here that has his first works on display. the ones he did himself. any pieces any more are done in his 'studio' by other artists (sigh). he also collected old accordians!(and indian blankets) there's even a Mcdonalds here that displays his stuff.lol it's everywhere. fascinating and beautiful for sure. the museum of glass,(mentioned in the seattle show thread) is awesome. I'm telling ya, ya gotta make it up here. lol the ceiling in the belagio hotel in vegas is all art glass from chihuly studios as well. he's an interesting guy! i love the orange and red tree!!!

wow that helps alot. thanks Mark! especially the first picture top left corner one. have one like it I was wondering about. it's been fun figuring them out.:-) and very cool box thanks for sharing that!

hmmm.. back to the drawing board then. i thought for sure the top right one was. there's actually 2 separate marbles in that pic. sorry should have been more specific. it has the same base glass as the others but only a light ribbon. what would you think the other are? thanks1!!

yes it sure is fun! sounds great steve... what day are you coming in??

here's a couple more i am pretty sure on... but the second picture not so much. thoughts?

heck no! go for it. it's tons of fun! we left about 10 marbles in odd places that day. we also have ones that are large printed with the IAMC logo we leave as well. :-) who knows, could be found by a future marble collector! but I have to say, the look on kids faces when they find them and you can watch is priceless. we gave out a lot of jabos last vegas show too, handed them to little kids(with parents ok of course) and it was a blast. it's like you handed them gold. lots of smiles that day!

ours too! omg, kissin cousins? lol

lol steve... small explanation here... we all randomly leave marbles everywhere we go for people to find. actually hubby and I do this all year long.lol and also hand them out to children. we use all makers marbles, like this one we left at the woodland park zoo.... Galen, hubby says he'll find ya some king and kona crab.lol

what size is that last one?? it kinda looks like a relative of the one on the left here..

cool beans! wow lucky you!!

well come on over! we still have about 8 rooms left is all...(I think, maybe less now)...anyway, we'll show ya one heck of a good time!! we ALWAYS have lots of fun!!

nawwww.... don''t pay that for snow crab and mussles(eww!) no kidding, you can get fresh cooked crab and a loaf of fresh bread at the market and bring it back with ya! (the rstaurant crab has been frozen). ya want the fresh stuff silly! better yet, If i can get some fresh live dungeness, I'll cook ya up some and bring it to the hotel still warm! now that's yummy! lol! wonder what heidi would think of live crabs.... hmmmmmmmmmm could be really good for some laughs!! she likes digging clams!

right on... thanks Mark

lol@windy... now if it just had periwinkle girl!!

hi windy, i like the one with the big blue aventurine 'W' for Windy! Ernie

i like running down to the great mall of china. there's a japanese restaurant there that's wonderful! or up to the heart of seattle. there's some fine eats just waiting! yumyum :-)and the world famous pike street market. heck Galen you could run up there and bring a cooler of crab back for everyone! one year we had a cooler full of puget sound spot prawns. best in the world! almost walkin distance is the bahama breeze. coconut shrimp to die for. or we could find a BBQ and throw on some copper river salmon too...ok, i'm hungry now...
