Too funny David!

wow, 44 views and not a reply - I guess this marble sucks then!...lol

My wife is watching me answer this so I MUST be politically correct..... it depends...lol

My cat would certainly like to meet that dog in person - that little devil isn't afraid of any dog that I've seen him come across. He acts like a dog himself! My cat and my dog play together all the time!

Like it? I used Boro and did some silver fuming.

Like her?

I hope your day is a special one!!!!! HBD Rich

I am thinking of making a female head out of the marble marble...lol

like it?

Not having TV for over 20 years now, will it be put up on YouTube?

I told my wife I'd tell Chordus that the green flame slag blew up in the kiln and keep it for myself but of course I didn't...lol. That marble is one of the best marbles I've ever seen and the repair went very well for it too.

Finished this one last night - like it?

I was totally jazzed with the slag remelt until I took the cooled marble out of my kiln the next morning, 8 1/2 hours later. It went in with perfect condition on the surface but cooled with small cracks. It is because the original glass that made each slag had compatibility issues that will only show up later after is tools from 1450 degrees F down to room temperature. I always say, "The glass will do what IT wants to do!"

HBD 2 U, HBD 2 U, HBD 2 U Edna, HBD 2 U!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure it's a newer marble because of two major things: 1) the punty mark is not like the ordinary punty mark left by a glass or metal holding rod that I see when I make my marbles. This one seems to have a slight twist as if it were cut off like in the older days. 2) the orange peel on the surface (if I am seeing that correctly) is too consistent to be made using today's equipment. the molds will leave chill marks but not in that pattern of orange peel look.

Doug who? lol Not seen any. This is something I played with last night at my torch...

I captured one in my marble!

I can see pieces of them heating in my kiln ready to become marbles right now!!!!!

David - I got that marble at the Las Vegas show in a trade. BTW, David - YOU are the best! Your patience with me is incredible.

I don't want to steal your thread but here my box of favorite Jabos. I thought you'd like to see them. This set of marbles is ever changing as I get a Jabo marble I think should go in there, I have to decide which one has to leave this box. I call this box the best of the best of the best. I have a secondary case with the next level below these called the best of the best. Oh, I also have a back-up box with the Jabos that are below the best of the best called the best Jabos...lol. Oh yes, I am addicted and probably need a 12 step program...lol.

I see some cold roll's that need fixin'...lol
