Steph Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 ... with Leaf Stand. This was my prize in the Great Race recently held at Glass Addiction. I am so pumped! Mike very nicely said I could use his pix. I can't figure out which one or two to show, so here are all of them the way he arranged them! A silver and gold fumed flower with a leaf stand. Marble is 1 1/2 diameter.... side view Back view Looking down on the stand.... Here's Mike's email, in case you'd like one of your very own! [email protected] His handle on the boards is pacosaki, which some of you will already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I didn't know Mike was making marbles. Nice looking marbles there. Sami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 SWEET marble!!! Mike's been working on marbles for a while... He's been so modest, saying he wasn't really that good.... LIAR, LIAR Pants on Fire!!!! ROFLMAO!!! Congratulations, Steph!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Super Steph. Congrats on getting that one. I got a Gateson Recko Ripcurl. When I hear back from him I'll ask him for permission to post his pics. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I started to salivate just a bit when I saw the ripcurl ... and others I'm not even going to start naming ... but when I saw the flower sitting in the stem, I knew that's the one I wanted to be able to show my friends. You know, the sweet friends who say, "oh, that's nice", and you aren't sure if they're seeing something in the marble, or if they're humoring you (the dear ones have to humor me a lot ;-). If all else fails, when they look at that one, they'll be thinking these marble makers are pretty clever people. The way I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 The ripcurl just drew me in. I'm no surfer but it's really cool. Just like the big wave. I can't wait to see it in person. I hope Gateson let's me use his pics so everyone can see. You are right about yours. All the prizes were awesome. I had narrowed it down to about 5 for my choice but would have been happy with any of them. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I wondered how that Ripcurl lasted so long on the list!! Nice choice, Carole!!! I expect my bag will be the last one taken and I'm psyched, cuz that would be Kevin!! It'd be a thrill to make a bag for Kevin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sue, I haven't ever seen your bags I don't think. Do you have a pic of one of yours? I would like to see one. I bet Kevin would be thrilled to have one. I was amazed too that the Ripcurl was still available but I'm sure glad it was. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've only made the mini bags for Bo and Mig... But, I'm psyched to take an idea and "run with it..." I've been doing a lot of sewing and hand work since I was a kid... So, I guess this is kinda like Chris Juedemann doing the "Kid's Marbles".... I'll either take an idea for a bag and try it, or take pictures of a marble and try to make an appropriate bag for it... Maybe mimicking the design from the marble onto the bag?? We'll have to wait and see who chooses it and what they have in mind!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Here's the Ripcurl I won by Gateson Recko. These are his pictures. I don't know the size. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Great mibs! Can someone give me a quick rundown on how the contest worked. I looked at it, but was lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'll try but I stayed confused the whole time, lol. We had 12 marble makers donate marbles. We started with 6 cars with 6 riders per car. I think we did three laps. The top 2 cars from that race were divided into six cars and the 12 winners got prizes awarded in the order they finished. Top two in the winning car got first choices and so on. Steph can explain it alot better than I. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks for trying Carole, but I still do not understand. LOL What "moved" the cars so to speak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I believe that Steve's wife rolled a die starting with car 1 and moving down the line. The track has marked spaces. The first car across the finish line won. Steve took the race pics. Other questions? And if I'm off track, so to speak, someone please correct me. carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Here's a pic of the track we raced on. Like Carole said, a die was rolled to see how many spots we advanced each turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 That makes sense Carole. I hadn't figured out what moved the contest. Thanks for the input. Sounds like it was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Sue, I hope you won't be too disappointed to have to make the bag for Cal and Sheryl instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 COOL!! No disappointment there!!! Cal & Sheryl are awesome!! This should be fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Congrats to Dani!!! I think I mighta gone for the Star Gazer, too!!! (If my car hadn't gotten a freakin' FLAT!!! ROFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carole154 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 That Star Gazer is awesome. I had it in my top three to choose. Tough choice. Difficult but nice to have a tough choice. What's really cool is it seems the ones that individuals really wanted were still available for them. As Steph says, it has to be good "carma" carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
