ann Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Also, I have some sort of gut instinct which makes me want to refer to this type of marble as a 'cat eye', without the apostrophe and 's'. No idea if there are marble people out there who agree with me on this point. I could just be making this up because of my recognition that Americans seem to enjoy adding 'esses' to words wherever they can. . . . . . . Does this have any connection with determining the perfectly correct name for this type of marble? I don't have a clue! I call them cat's-eyes (with both apostrophe and hyphen) because that's how Marlo Peterson -- who wrote the first (and so far the only) book on cat's-eyes -- did it. He had a little reasoning about it in the book but I don't remember what it was, offhand. The "s" in "cat's" is just the possessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm overwhelmed by some of the cat's-eyes here! Winnie, yours are particularly stunning! And Bill, that blue Ottowa cat's-eye with the orange , , , growth thing on the blade is amazing. And Ray, how do you do that?? What's your max vane number? Wow . . .

raynsandy Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 what would you all like to see in a contemporary cat eye? Going to be pulling some cane next weekend and am going to pull out the stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 End of day cat's eyes? With stretchy spots in the vanes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Oooh. Aventurine black somewhere in them. If you make a small one (under 1 inch) let me know! (I have 3 or 4 tiny swirls of yours, and a little airplane sulfide. They could use some company, maybe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 That is a great idea- Aventurine black I have to admit, I was totally blown away, thinking about "designing" or requesting marble combinations, whoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raynsandy Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Ill be working on the cane this weekend. Black aventurine, EOD vanes (might be hard to do as the cane gets pulled approx 6' or longer and would appear as stripes) and lutz. Ann, I do have some peewee 12 vanes Ill send you a picture.

Steph Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I didn't realize you pulled the cane so very long! Don't let my naive suggestion get in the way of the aesthetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast_dave Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I have a thing for the bogards as well, the bubbly bases can be addicting. Colored based cats aren't so bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
