What is your favorite contemporary? Ray did some great stuff. My favorites were his sulphide. A very creative and inquisitive person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankgrrl29 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 thanks, @Melissa! that last one was a total accident, but it's one of my favorites. i have to give a hat-tip to scott patrick for 1 - selling me some of his equipment, and 2 - for showing me his 'super-secret' technique. i don't make them anymore...i used to have a set up in my kitchen until i got a little more responsible and decided my landlord probably would blow a gasket & my renter's insurance probably doesn't cover explosions, so i sold all my stuff a good while back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all great but these are my favorites. Some of those "tracers" are killer! Do you sign them? I thought this was an Alley - now you've got me wondering. 😉 Those are really all very nice marbles, Chris! What size are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankgrrl29 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 thanks, @Ric, i appreciate the compliments! that flame you're showing is AWESOME! some of my 'tracers' turned out better than others. there's a clear rod that turns cloudy with heat that i used for the base on those. the top one you snagged was an attempt at making a guinea style; those were fun! and that middle one was one of the first marbles i made. i was practicing with clear and just adding stuff while trying to make them round. i frikkin love that marble, LOL, but I CAN'T FIND IT!!! oh, and nope, i don't (didn't) sign them. i barely got more than 2 or 3 at a time to turn out, so i didn't make many. i sent a couple to scott... migbar and i would exchange some, but he was cleaning out stuff and sent mine back. (dang, now i'm wondering if he knew he was sick then ) the christmas ones i made for my granddaughter, but after she passed, i got those back. (jeeeeez now i'm thinking my marbles are cursed! 🙄 sorry, that's morbid... 🤐 ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
