browncat73 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Two cool Mibs but, I have no idea about the one that I'm pretty sure was used as a bead?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Cool looking marbles for sure. The one with the yellow involved is a poorly made cateye imho—still a cool find—no maker from me. The other one—if it was intended to be a “bead” would have a hole through it more often than not. It is an odd duck and it reminds me of a “bullet mold” marble. Marble—On!!

browncat73 Posted January 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Really? How the hell can they mess up a cats eye that bad? It's not even close! Someone told me the other was some kind of African bead marble, ever heard of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty cool how they can ream a hole through the glass like that where you can see straight to the other side. Thanks for all the help!. Wish I could get a good pic of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 The bead wasn't drilled. It was mandrel-wound, a common and easy modern bead making technique. Its the first flameworked bead making technique taught in basic classes. As noted earlier, the first is just a funky cats eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
