sissydear Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm posting my keeper boxes. Many in this box have superman colors My share (1/3) of a share amounted to 34 pounds of marbles. Joseph and i are keeping most of the ones with pink ribbons or purple ribbons. They are my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I kept 8 paper boxes of Spring Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I used jewelry boxes for the marbles. I put pictures from the run on the box top. I also kept 3 of the wooden boxes filled with keepers. I take the marble holders out and use the whole box to hold more marbles. The picture is my grandson, Joseph. He went to the run on his spring break. That's David Griffie in the pic too. Griff invented the tool that Joseph is using to sprinkle lutz on the marbles, and he taught Joseph how to sprinkle.

sissydear Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I kept 3 of the wooden boxes and Joseph kept 3 with the liners in. His wooden boxes have only marbles with lutz. He also kept 5 paper boxes. My favorite boxes has a lot of "pinks" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I mailed out about 15 boxes to friends. Getting great feedback on them. Five more boxes going out soon and I'm out of this run. We are running again May 7th. Going to make more pinks and purples I was told. They sure make pretty marbles.

kbobam Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 What a great group! Really like the superman colors, and surprised how terrific those pink and purples are. Wouldn't expect to like them so much. And all the others are impressive too. No weak spots in this run! ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yes, they need to make more yummy pink! (and thank you again, Edna ) ... p.s., I'm still puzzling over the mica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 me too. Griff will have to explain "colorized mica". I watched him sprinkle it, but after the finish of the run, had no idea which marbles had it on them. Not until Griff acknowledged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 It looks like "Pixie Dust", a micro-fine powdered and colorized mica product, that torch workers, especially bead makers, use to get a metallic luster or pearlescence to their glass items. It is made in different shades of copper, bronze, silver and gold plus several reduction colors, lusters, sparkles, and hi-light colors. The pearlescent colors create an effect similar to Peltier's pearlescent patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks Mike. Griff sometimes calls it pixie dust. He used several colors in this run and what you posted helps me understand it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
