I love DAS...and I have read much into this and I too think it's incredible... Almost magical ... Love the share Steph!!!! 

They look super fun! I look forward to seeing them close up hehe. 

Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread 

And Sea Salt Poppy Seed Bread 

Base is the same for both: (add in whatever you like or too before baking) 

1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 grams, melted)

3/4 cup honey (255 grams)

1 cup water (250 ml)

1 tsp. salt

6 cups bread flour (600-720 grams, divided) I find it's a smidge over for it to not be sticky

1 envelope active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)

4 large eggs

1 egg (for egg wash)

(I premix all dry and all wet separately) 

I let it rise for about 1.5 hours

Braid and double down on raising again for 45 mins to an hour .... 

I liked my poppy seed a smidge on the darker side so I don't egg wash I butter when it comes out and sprinkle pink sea salt ... 

It's baked at 350' for 40+minutes 

Fried Green Tomatoes 🍅 🤤

Any batter you like (I season my own flour to taste) 

With Basil and the Sauce is simple mayo vinegar and sugar  😀

Insert drool button!!! 

There is an internal fracture clear across the middle (intentional not intentional idk but that is what you see refracting different light internally)

This always happens in my marble room.

This is why I alway say----"backlight them all" and "apply UV" as well.

(size always matters)

These are all clues to the maker--do what you must and do what needs to be done.

This one needs more "common" images for an ID from me.

Marble--On!!

I definitely am going to be taking this advice from now on with B.L. & UV. 

Size on this guy is 20mm or .78

I'm gonna take it outside now that the sun is out and take a few more (hopefully this helps 😁)

Thank you @akroorka

Tough one for sure. All I can say is the ribbon and seams kinda look Pelt,MK or Vitro. I don’t think it’s Foreign 🍿🍿🍿🔥

Idk if this photo helps at all (this appears to be a seam) or I could be making that up lol

- not the inner fracture to the right the one that sort of starts at the yellow ribbon🤷🏻‍♀️

So I was ya know looking at my Marbles 😂😂😂 and looking at my "Clearies" "Solids" etc just making sure there wasn't anything I missed. 

Decide to play "Black Light" and what did you know this giant red shooter was loaded with unexpected fun!!!! 

Anyone else ever have this happen? 

Ps @akroorka if I had a Reactive pinky detector like you this might not have shocked me lol ... I think I need to play some football 😆

Nice.   Should be a good time. 

It will be my first ever marble anything aside here, so I am stoked just to meet anyone in person with the same interests and see their marbles

Why do people say it's Awfully good to see you,... is it awful or was it good?  or bittersweet goodbye...

Why is th grass Greener on the other side ? Is the sun brighter over  there?

Parrots are opaque white-based marbles that have four colors other than white. The best ones will have no white showing. Parkeets are similar but have only three colors on the white base.

Do I see another ribbon of very light lavender color opposite the yellow? If this marble has the white and colors veneered on a clear transparent base, I would agree with Vitro Tiger Eye. Otherwise, I'll stick with Akro.

Okay, gives me a better idea how to find... And clarifies why I see parrot but with three colors +white so that would qualify are a parakeet.... I didn't realize there were differences... 

I appreciate the explanation
