Steph 0 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks.  So many names.  I was there near the beginning, but I haven't kept track in a long time.  Didn't know about the "Pre Finale".  "There" not being AT Jabo, just kinda in the loop.

Al Oregon 0 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I had been reorganizing my bags and came across this one put together by Marlow Peterson many years back. Â It has some cool Jabos in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steph 0 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Here's a pic on a different background, which give a hint of how different these Last Dances can look depending on the lighting.  Good lighting and "pop".  Ordinary lighting and "meh".  And this pic even had flash on it and still much is missed.  They were quite a dark run and in ordinary you miss out on more.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So my friend and I have a mix of glossy Chinese marbles and glossy Classics.  But I can't post the picture I took because the flash stripped the gloss right off and so I am gonna try something different tomorrow.  Maybe find one hour of sunlight some time during the day ... if at all possible ... might have to wait until the next day ... more rain predicted tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nantucketdink 0 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Steph-I haven't heard that particular Chinese marble story before. It must be the red and yellow ones, right? Thanks for sharing and that solves another JABO mystery for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steph 0 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yes! The red and yellow.  I went to the source.  Solved another mystery for Dave, too. lol. He remembered the shipment of marbles coming in but didn't know what guys on the floor had ultimately done with them.  Now we know.   Now to see if I can photograph them.  Maybe the overcast day will work to my advantage.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nantucketdink 0 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 There needs to be an "everything including the kitchen sink" run. There will be lutz and other metallic swirls in there along with the oxblood and aventurine. All kinds of various fritts will be sprinkled all over them and they will also receive the chemical lustre treatment on top of that. I am talking all in/on the same marble. It will look horrible, but that doesn't matter. Lutz swirls that have been confettied are few and far between and I can only think of one run that had marbles with both lutz swirls and metallic swirls in the same marble so far.
