woo hoo!! Thank you so much Felicia, that's a beautiful bag. It was my highly advanced mathmatical skill LOL LOL (i counted concentric circles of the size of marble you showed) -Jess

Just wanted to say thank you, I don't think my PMs went through to you -Jess

I'll guess 41 -Jess

Happy Birthday Lou!! Hope you get everything ask for and everything you thought about but didn't ask for -Jess

peachy orangish in there -Jess

This blue is pretty similar to that last -Jess

red with a little yellow -Jess

I love blue -Jess

Those are beautiful Greg! I'm afraid I don't have many handmades, here is he extent of mine, bottom three are same cane thanks -Jess

I think the gloss is in the paint, the white bass material showing through in the below picture is not glossy at all. I'm not sure I understand the way the color is applied, how is it that the colors don't "break off" on the opposite side of the marble when you lift it out of the paint? -Jess ( I like that silent squeakiness description )

Lol, I don't think that's crazy at all I've already tried it, it sounds the same as a 1" marble. Not like a 5/8", it's a deeper sound. if that makes any sense. -Jess

Thanks for the replies! It definately looks painted, but it's also definately not light weight, it's actually pretty dense.

I just picked this up on ebay, anyone have any idea what it is? I sure don't. It's about 3/4 of an inch. Thanks -Jess

I can't believe the clarity on that last photo, great camera work, especially on that largest handmade! -Jess

Cool idea for color of the month I think this one is a Vitro -Jess

Those contemps are WILD! Got a few more in the mail yesterday, made my weekend

Here are two Pelts which were polished or buffed. -Jess

I do have some polished Pelts that a friend was kind enough to share with me awhile back. I'll dig em out this morning and get some shots in. They do have a very strange appearance. I have a few handmades that I might like to see polished, but still not sure about it yet. -Jess

The skies were really dark when I left work, about a mile later looking up, I spotted this tornado!! I couldn't believe it, I've lived in Florida for 10 years and this is the first one I've seen. I was pretty excited until it started raining sideways, lightning started dropping around me, and then the hail started. Lightning struck the traffic light which was about 50 yards in front of and knocked the lights out. It was pretty scary! Thanks for looking -Jess

I thought I would post a picture of a marble which I know has been buffed, for reference. You can tell it's been buffed by the way the white whispy glass is not all connected, if you understand what I'm saying. It's a very nice marble, but I like to know when I'm buying a buffed or polished marble, doesn't hurt to spread the knowledge. The seller listed it as a buffed marble, so I wasn't duped, I bought it to use as a reference. Does anyone else have any good pictures of buffed/polished marbles? Or have any other tell-tale signs? Thanks, -Jess

Hi Edna, In that first picture that you posted this morning, the first marble in the second row down, is that Blue, Orange, AND Green?? If it is, I haven't seen one like that before. and Pedidoll (sorry, I don't know your name) That's a buckskin, in your first picture, very cool. -Jess

Craig, now you have me really curious, If you are finding these great Akros on luck while looking for CACs and Pelts, what do those collections look like? Cause you have some really great Akros there -Jess (I'm really liking that second shooter, that is crazy)

Edna, that's perfect And in that very last photo, do you have any more photos of that mib, first in the top row? That looks very interesting. . . . -Jess

I've been collecting for about 5 years now, when I have a little extra $ mostly. I've been meaning to get a black light for awhile now. Thank you Edna

I'm not sure. I'm, uh, kind of embarrased to say I don't have a UV light -Jess
