sissydear Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 At Tucson Best Bead I added a new Eli Mazet. It's Joseph's marble, just right for an 11 year old boy. An eye is on one side and a vortex on the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I also added a Josh Mazet with a lot of detail. Josh told me he was going for a transition from land to water. This is bigger than 2 inches. A jelly fish on this side Sea Anemones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Some time back I purchased an eagle murrina from Ken and Sonya Schneidereit. I waited and waited to see what Ken would do with this murrina. Finally he put a marble on ebay and I had to have it. The marble is called "Eagle Tapestry" Opposite the eagle murrina are eagle feathers with glass woven in a tapestry pattern between the eagle and the feathers. There is depth in this marble that my pics just won't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I had been working on some Vitro Agate for a long time, trying to fill bracelet boxes with 16 of each. I finally filled my boxes with pea family marbles. Sweet peas Black Eyed Peas Biscuits and Red Eye Gravy And this unnamed member of the pea family.

stacyw Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for posting those vitro pix! Your bracelet box photos are a great reference tool for new collectors like myself. Seeing several of the same type of marble allows you to see the subtle variations in color and structure. Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popculturizm Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes I bought the collection 2 weeks ago paid real $$$ for about 400+ mib's but was as nice an estate lot as I have seen - so you know when the opportunity arises you have to jump.
