Biomimesis

Very cool pic Steph, it makes me think of San Francisco , I'm not sure I can say why yet. First thing that came to mind. I was kind of hoping the same thing Steph but I was happy with those few people saying the same thing.

Oooh, Bob, if any strangers came around, she was FIERCE. She terrified me, and she was protecting ME. Until we told her it was okay of course, but she was still tense, still ready to "take care of the threat". I think they have a very strong protective instinct. They just have to be raised right, very sweet dogs and yes, I'm sorry, Doberman is correct.

Great collection of Akro Nancy! I love to pick out my favorites, hope you don't mind. The one with the red arrow, does that have a cork of green also? Looks really cool. And I'm really digging that one on the top right with the arrow, is that a black AND gray cork?

Haha! Rooneydog Anything other than an Akro, and I'm in the same boat, can't get em right yet

Hey! Very nice board! It looks like that Lifesaver, just to the right of the center marble has an extra yellow stripe over the red, very cool!

whoa. Now that's pretty cool!

Steph, that dog joke is cracking me up! That expression! Awww! What a sweetie! One of the sweetest dogs I've ever known was a red dobie, she was so considerate and charming, and she loved to play.

Great! Would love to see pictures if you've already taken them. Akro is my favorite company

I would call it a blue Ace, I'm not certain if there is a specific name for it. very nice group of Akros Aces

Lovely aventurine Ann ! Here's a minty colored green

Those are beautiful! I especially like that Halloween cullet, very nice Bill.

Well, I put it up for ID, and I can't remember if it was three or four people, but all agreed it was CAC. And since I certainly can't tell the difference yet, he has a box all to himself

aleecee This looks like such a beautiful marble I don't know if I've ever seen such a deep green on that ade base, and with that bright white tracing, gorgeous!

My one and only CAC (that I know of lol)

Akro Green

I did a little research, found it! Great (or perhaps Common) Mullein; and, more formally, as verbascum Thapsus. although I prefer the elusive Wild-Flowering Asparagus

He's back at it again ! I was almost falling for it, and asked about them, so glad I did, here's the link. Some of them look pretty good to me, but, then, I like the machine mades. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=32250-1732&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_fss=1&_fsradio=%26LH_SpecificSeller%3D1&_saslop=1&_sasl=supermarbles&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50 Hope that link works!

So sorry to hear this, hugs for you and your family, especially your Mom. I only knew him through transactions on eBay, always great.

Awesome! congrats !

They ARE very relaxing, aren't they ?

And actually I did the same with all those green slags

Well, shoot, I'd like to take credit for it, but all I do is light it up from behind with a flashlight and use a flash on my camera (cell phone camera lol) Then crop the photo. There's nothing else I do. I make it a point to not use any filters or change anything about the marbles themselves, I do like to cut and paste them onto a background sometimes, but that's it. I do wash and dry them if I've had them sitting for awhile like these, or the catseyes for that matter, but warm water only, no soap, and I don't like the way a paper towel seems to feel like it leaves a film on them, so I dry them with my shirt. I'm fancy like that lol. And I was kind of hoping these were Akro, but I wasn't sure about the whispy base. Thanks!

I'm glad to hear the temp is staying down for the baby, 60 sounds wonderful ! Every summer, I look at my scarves hanging up and can't even fathom wearing them, it's so hot and humid right now lol.

Thanks Steph!! I qualified for the satellite to the final tournament. I need to make the final table, the final table advances to the real tournament .
