Yes,I think they are collectible,and will be collectible,as long as the hoddy of marble collecting is in existance. What many people cant see,,,refering to the "jabo haters",is that Jabo has given more life to the hobby.Marble collecting was dying off,along with many of the collectors.It has sparked a flurry of new collectors,and this is what is needed to keep the hobby alive. If you require an answer that refers to a dollar value,well,I think that is impossible to predict,on anything,,,except a rise in gas prices in the spring,and a rise in heating oil in the fall.(even that is unpredictable).

The blue lines are rainbow pixie sticks-translation---differant color kugler pieces that I torched and pulled "cat whiskers". I did some test shots with what material I had ready.Marblegirl has a good one listed right now,that has lots of color.See if I can post it. The loaded marble was just that,Me"playing" around with the pixie sticks,in the stream. I dumped the little I had left,in,on top of the shear,after the real testing,just to see what would happen.Every little thing I do,leads me to the next. Cant be fixed,because it belongs on my "memory shelf".At least now I got 2 pieces-------LOL------dough------BAH HA HA HA! Thanks to David,(and everyone else)for every opportunity.I wanna help make pretty marbles!!!Every time I get to play,I consider it a once in a lifetime thing. Now where is that dang graphite rod I ordered?,,,,Oops,,,,that another "project",,,,

Working on it.Application has been proven,now for a little control.Them dang pixie sticks are fun to pull,by hand. Good thing I took a picture of that one,cause it fell apart,dang it!

A Couple Experiments,,,,,,,,,
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF replied to FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Crushing glass,pulling stringers,drilling holes in baseball bats today.Its good to have a shop on a rainy day.Of course I can say the same thing about my fishing poles,too! Need to have an assistant to help make "golden drizzles".To qualify,you must have red beat stains on your shirt,,,,,,, I kind of like the "Mud Guinea" name,and the pixie sticks,sprinkle is such a "manly" name,too!(might have to put the skirt on,during application) Been brainstorming again,just need to sit down,and start making my ideas.It doesnt take long,once I got something on paper. Glad to have the opportunity,,,,,,,,, Here's another one I like,,,pink and gold sprinkles, -
