TerryT35 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Dani or Ernie, As a car crazy person I like the V8 one. Do you know who made it? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Dani, thank you for posting pics of your contemps. I enjoyed looking at them. You inspired me to show some of mine. A few years ago I bought a cabinet with 8 shelves. I thought I could put all my contemps in it and have room left over for more purchases. I was quite dismayed to fill it immediately with no empty shelves left over. I have no room for more cabinets so my solution was to crowd them together. They are so close that many are hidden from view. Weldon's solution is "Stop buying". LOL Well, I haven't tried to post since the board changed and I find that I don't know how to post my pics. I need some help. Edna I went to the help section that Lou has posted and tried to follow the directions. I didn't get it right. Sorry, I can't add pics. I did get a thumbnail to post, but I want full size pics. Don't know how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Tried again, still don't get it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 On this top shelf are more Kevin O'Grady, Geoffrey Beetom, Filip Vogelpohl, Bruce Troeh, Josh Sable, Eugene Rain, Sabina Boehm, Dan Grumbling, and others. Most of the marbles on this shelf are Robert L. Hamon. A few are students of his that did marbles in his style. I also have an elephant scupture here and a vase or two. On this shelf are some Julia Powell, Kris Parke, Andrew Brown, Steve Willis, and others I can't ID because they are so tiny in my pic. In the back on Peltier candleholders are some Greg Hoglin. Also some Stephen Pope, Gateson Recko, and a lot of Calvin Sugita. There is Alloway on this shelf, K. O'Grady, George Pavilicek, Eddie Seese, Keenan Tiemayer, and others Some Joe Lovell, Ben Burton, Shipwrecked, David Salazar Boyd Miller, Ken Schneidereit, I'm doing something wrong, but I did get some of the shelves to appear a little larger. This is 5 of the 8 shelves. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaboo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 i CAN TOTALLY RELATE EDNA! there's a third shelf too. and then there's 2 shelves in a built in display too. lol. there's a few of those pictured at LOM. mainly Ro's stuff, and you can sorta see the shelf that's mainly Salazar. then there's the stuff upstairs... and an apothecary jar filled with contemps...holy crap it's everywhere! To answer, the V8 was made by fulton 'Tony' parker, out of oregon. it's probably 20 years old. or close to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 really nice marbles! Dani, I have them everywhere too. Cases that hang on the wall, cases made to look like the antique jeweler's case, boxes that sit on shelves. I really should listen to Weldon, but when I say that to Brett Young his reply is always "I don't think I like Weldon". I hope Hot House comes to Sistersville again this year, cause I want more.

ann Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 NO kidding! Got to get that camera. Alan, in your second photo there's a large-ish marble on the right, pinkish, or even irridescent pinkish? With stars? Who did it? Can I have it? Sorry, got carried away - - - I'll settle for who did it -- Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisCamp Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm guessing it's by Harry Besett. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 N Alan, in your second photo there's a large-ish marble on the right, pinkish, or even irridescent pinkish? With stars? Who did it? Can I have it? Sorry, got carried away - - - I'll settle for who did it -- Ann Ann: Are you referring to this piece? If so - it is Doug Sweet/Karuna Glass. It is a variant of his packed murrini - with an etched stars outer surface that form windows through which you can view the murrini. Sort of like a kaleidoscope. He may still make them.

I may have to rest awhile after looking at this one - - - If he still makes them I might be forced to break my "nothing bigger than 1-1/8" rule that has served me so well for years. Just this once. Unless of course you just send yours to me out of the goodness of your heart. If not, I forgive you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
