You have to know how much I appreciate you enriching this thread.

Neato. Great keepsake. What size are they?

I'm getting a more "frosty" impression than "chalky". Like one which was intentionally altered with acid or accidentally altered by having it in a fishtank.

Yes!

Thank you. I did not know Shaun the Sheep. I watched a little Wallace and Gromit, but not enough to know about Shaun.

What a handsome marble.

Hi Sara. Thank you for sharing Ellen's work. That's a beautiful twist on the gift of marbles.

Next poster U. S. Marble Company Time Lines & Connections This one came with multiple parts, including a table listing who designed or built the machines for each company. Let's try out the gallery links to see how those work: Sorry my pictures are dark -- which you might not have noticed if I hadn't said. I need to learn how to use software to brighten them.

Don't forget to take your Soma.

I thought about posting the Laura Nyro version. But Barbra is the one I learned to sing along to.

Almost certainly a repeat. Hey, I like it a lot.

pretty even if they're common styles. I do love clearies.

Of course we want to hear!

p.s., Who knew dirt could be so exciting?

I wish we had a like button.

This didn't say "keeperthread" yet. Now it says keeperthread.

Sweet bo.

Mine is pure cullet. Much darker green. Bought 'em as part of a dug lot from Brian Ice. Steve Ice says he dug lots of swirls at Akro sites and showed some opaques in an Akro-related bag which I gathered were representative of what he found digging. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/18252-akro-swirl/

First thought based on the lime-green color was Vacor. Second thought based on the older-looking texture was dug Akro, but then I got my dug Akro swirls out and found the green on my examples to be much darker. That lime green should speak to someone! Can't wait to hear.

That would be cool.

Soon ....

Speaking of Uniques (which we were doing in the Akro thread) Ron posted these last night in the Random Marble Generator thread.
