Steph Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Wow. Where does she get the material she works with?! I once broke a Peggy Karr plate. I couldn't bear to throw it away so I tumbled the pieces. That turned out nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That turned out nicely. there's this old timer who has a rock shop out in the middle of the desert about 100 miles from reno. it's been a while since she has got any, if he's got it it comes in 6"x^6" or 9"x9" swirled chuncks. it is $6 a pound but you end up with a lot........thanks, jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glangley Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hey there Jack, just caught my attention when you mentioned Reno. I lived in Sparks for three years while I was stationed at the Mountain Warfare Training Center, just South of there about 2 hours on highway 395. If you keep going South you hit a turn off to the East which takes you to an old ghost town called Bodie. One of the coolest things they had there in that ghost town was a display in the old general store,(maybe it was the old taven) was old marbles that they had found while turning the town into a park. Very neat little place, but since it sits above 10k feet elevation, it only a summer trip. Well, there my two cents. lol God bless Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
