sissydear Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 The run took place September 29, 2010. We made some gorgeous marbles. Lots of color and pattern. A new pattern called "Rams head" which I haven't photographed yet, but you can see them on ebay. There are more lutz and or frit marbles than ever before. I have sorted 5 boxes and found more than 5 quarts so far. One box to go. Tom Summers applied all the embellishments and no one cherry picked. We have a system devised that divides the marbles as evenly among all investors as humanly possible. Rows 1 and 2 and 5 and 6 have superman colors, but no pattern evenly remotely connected to Peltier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Rows 4 and 5 have golden rebel colors, but they are on a white base and the pattern is no where Peltier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Rows 6 and 7 have superman colors. Row 2 has several "rams head" marbles, but I haven't yet done pics of the sides where the horns of the ram are curled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 We got lots of color and lots of patterns in these marbles. We even used some oxblood - seen in row 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks, Edna! I'm in terrible spiritual shape today, and all of these actually made me smile and do an out-loud "Oh wow!" What a terrific run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 We let David pick the colors. He did all the choosing what went in the tank together too. I love his color mixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Edna, while admiring these again today I noticed the marble right in the center of picture #1. (3rd. marble in 4th. row) It could easily be the hood emblem on an extremely colorful Dodge pick up truck, which lead me to wonder if it's one of the 'ram's head' designs.

sissydear Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 You are correct. It is. I haven't done any pics showing the the sides where you can see the ram's horns yet. For me, the way Linda and I handled this run was our True North and the way David worked at getting his rollers, cutters, tank, etc. marble patterns, and colors was David's true north. For a better explanation see JABOLAND. I posted Robb Forehand's explanation from research there because he said it better than I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 There are lots of rams in my pictures. David is still working on getting the horns part melted in better. I love that he has a pattern no one else has done. True North all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have samples of many of the recent runs, so I've got a smattering of rams horns. Including two crystal superman ones ... which are as delicious as they sound. No full-blown rams horn in my True North box, but that's okay.

sissydear Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 My sorting so far has been sorting for families of marbles. Occasionally, in sorting, I found a really good Ram and pulled it out and placed it with my lutz/frit marbles. They don't all have 2 horns perfectly formed. I need to look for more of those after I get through sorting by family. Good ones are in there. Some with one good horn and a partial horn on the other side are in there. Then there are young rams with very short horns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think when David makes rams with fully smooth horns, no lines, and both sides curl, he is mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
