Gnome Punter Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I am sorry if I hurt feelings by saying cats were worthless. I find them undesirable to my tastes, much like the majority of Jabos left I understand a difference in taste is ok and I was giving my POV, albeit it I should have worded it differently in that other thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 My post was not referring to you but more generally. I know most collectors do not like cats,in fact a few years ago i had an aversion of cat;'s myself. Well as you can see that has changed,i enjoy to make pictures of them. Nice Vitro's Marboman.

kbobam Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 The Vitros are nice, and I'll bet in-hand the 7/8 size is perfect. And winnie's photo is just crazy-good with the 3D lighting. Whenever I actually manage to take a photo which both shows the marble well technically, and has a good 'artsy' look to it, I don't have much use for the marble anymore. I don't know if that's weird or not. I sort of figure I've gotten 90% of my potential enjoyment, so the only logical peace/love/understanding thing to do is pass it on to someone else who might also get 90% from it. Closest I'm ever going to get to achieving perpetual motion! ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacyw Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Kbob - I love the photo composition and it IS a great book. Marboman - Are most of the Vitros in your phot what are known as "cosmic rainbows"? Are they considered catseye types? Jeeper - Stunning! Winne - as always your photos are beautiful and I agree that cats photograph very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marboman Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 No hurt feelings here, I didn't collect cats-eyes at first either. After I saw what some marbles cost I saw cat-eyes as an alternative to higher priced vintage marbles and some are bringing good prices now only a few years later. Yes the Cosmic Rainbows are horse-shoe cats, it's kind of hard to tell without looking at them closley in hand. Thanks for asking, great marbles everyone.

lstmmrbls Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I never would have thought of the cosmic Rainbows as Horse-shoe cats. Just don't see it. Horse Shoe cats are folded caged cat eyes, are they not??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Folded or bent, yes. I see a cage style in the pics above but I don't nor have I yet seen a true horseshoe Cosmic. Whether or not they exist I can't say, never heard of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Here is an old pic of some Cosmic Rainbows, the marble on the right shows a typical U horseshoe pattern. I can take some better pics tomorrow, watching game now.Marble on the left displaying inverted U pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Jeeperman,the purple and green one is special! Mike a beautiful bunch of cosmic rainbows. Bob i like the way you photograph your marbles,it's so unusual in a good way,they are little stories. Here's a Vitro and a 7/8 Asian cat's.

lstmmrbls Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I wouldn't use the term Horse shoe for just any folded marble. Just the Vitro Cage types. Heck, that would make millions of Jabos horse shoes and butt crack is just so much better(LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Love that first one Winnie. Galen I agree. The U shaped bend in the bottom right image of the last Cosmic posted does not say Horseshoe to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
