Hot House Glass collaboration marbles: Drew Fritts painted Koi Pond:

Dug into the archive. Early marbles circa 2004-2005. About 20 years ago! Christmas gift to family.

Okay, I will. Give me a bit. 😃

Congrats on accepting the role of a rumble edge on a highway. May you find the patience of Job to guide us back onto the path. Thanks in advance for your effort!!

Has it been 20 years? Really? Time has flown by! I’ve taken for granted your effort. Please forgive me. You’ve handled everything eloquently. We are blessed to have a mind and heart to keep us moving forward together. Thank you, Steph!

Now you know how Gollum felt when he lost his “Precious”.

Okay about the reflection. You need the light to appreciate the Ox. 👍🏻

Life is tenuous. Dave has touched many people and had an impact on the world of glass marbles. I pray that those close to Dave can find comfort in knowing that he is with his Lord. Cheers to a soul that sang his own music!

Apparently, Mike’s birthday was October 6. Funny how the human mind works. He was very creative. Always enjoyed his marbles and special box sets. https://www.bartonartglassworks.com/

I saw the image and a name quickly came to mind. 2004-2008? A keeper. Thanks for sharing!!

No problem. So, I’m perfectly clear, can you articulate your definition of “as made marks”? Can you circle ⭕️ an “as made mark” on some photos to help us reply with an appropriate answer. Again, congrats! That is a lovely selection.

1) CAC 100%. Checks all my boxes for color, striations, pattern (flame) and surface. 2) Honest surface. No signs of polishing. 3) The “grooves” you are seeing is where the hot glass stream is surface cooling before it can meld to the previous glass gob. Imagine taking a wet spaghetti noodle and dropping it in your hand. 100% natural. 4) Love that salmon color with the dark olive!! Congrats!! -John

Brian Graham used marble fuel and time warped to retrieve a marble machine from Peltier. 😉
