I don't recall that tune. Probably have some green stamp books around here though.

What a neat little set!

This one image doesn't look polished to me. Is that a flake out of it or a reflection?

You forgot to offer "no interest until 2015" financing.

Sounds like fun. Hope we see some holey marbles.

Awww, pretty puppy!

I now have 8 of them. Next step: figure out how to hook up the video to DVD player/recorder we've had sitting in a box on the dresser for the past couple of years ......

They're words now.

Eurobursts!

So glad, Rich! *slaps Scott with fish* ;-p

I don't know what to call them either! Could they be "striped transparents"? That's why I used that weird word in my other thread.

Sheesh. I missed the guinea box the first time I opened this page. How did that happen?

A hunka hunka bowling love.

What Bob said! Thank you for serving.

I see someone riding west on a bicycle.

Have heard only good things about him. Glad Edna got to spend some time with him in the last few months. Prayers and condolences for his family.

Back in the 1800's or early 1900's some of what we call oxblood now would likely have been called other things based on the up close and personal knowledge which people of that era had with the blood of various animals. The French name for oxblood ceramic glaze was "sang de boeuf". Other glaze names were sang de poulet and sang de pigeon (chicken blood and pigeon blood). And then there were less gory names like peach bloom, crushed strawberry, crimson and liver. I looked those up a long time ago and don't remember my sources now but I think those names were all given to different copper-based colors --- the spectrum of what we now might lump under the name oxblood.

Yay team! Good job!

Congrats on achieving the impossible! Thanks for the eye candy.

If you use "My Media" at the top of the reply window, you can get to your gallery and post your pictures. Here are the two new ones though:

Hi. I looked on my list of names of contemporary marble artists and saw some with initials BS. I don't have many middle initials. I'll bring the BS's over if no one else seems to have an answer. Would it be possible to get a picture?

That first one is so pretty in the first view I wouldn't want anyone to touch it! Unless ... could it be polished? It's like a fan or peacock feathers. Love it.

Pretty!
