semdot Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yup very similar to the one I saw. It was not known to be a Mark Mathews marble at the show. It was certainly not signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 It was not known to be a Mark Mathews marble at the show. It was certainly not signed. Hmmmmmm, really?? There are a few other artists that do airtrap stuff.... I don't know if any do anything like the Jetson... Based on what I've heard about it's "degree of difficulty" it's amazing that it wasn't signed.... Could it have been one of the Chinese Bird Cage marbles?? Those weren't signed and had the other colors you mentioned..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semdot Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 A little like the bird cages, but I remember higher quality. The bubbles and doughnut were very well made and symetrical. Thanks for sharing the bird cages though. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have to own up that those are not my birdcages!!! LOL I have them in my file and I'm not positive from where... I'm pretty sure the multi-colored is from Bev Brule's collection and I *think* the yellow is Tom Reed's.... There's a picture of another (next to a similar paperweight) over in the Orange County Show report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRE81 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'd like to thank MIKE CLOSE again for helping me put my GRANDMA'S HAND-MADE COLLECTION back TOGETHER !!!!

Rick(y)......where's the little "ORANGEY ONE WITH GLITTER IN IT ? .............UH...............uh-oh....... I had made the MISTAKE of having this seperate from the group and Mike and I had done a trade. I DID PANIC...but gotta hold of Mike about 2-3 years later after we did our trade. *Parents were visiting now* I asked if by CHANCE he still had this little "Orangey Marble with Glitter in it ?" To my relief...HE DID......I told him what I had done....and he graciously helped me UNDO my (NEWBIE/ STUPID/BLUNDER) My MOM found out LATER.....that I HAD FOUND THE MARBLE I HAD .....UUUHHHMMMMMMMMM.....MISPLACED ! :glare: This is my Grandma's Collection of nice 9/16ths and Smaller Hand-Mades !

Steph Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Suhweet! Any handmade I found in the dirt would make me do cartwheels, but there are some really nice ones there! Love that wide-banded multicolor jasper. (that's what that is, right? in the middle pic?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamdigger Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yes Steph that is a jasper, just got that one yesterday and I have never seen one like it before. Let me say that it looks even better in person the wide bands really catch and hold your eye. Here is a pic of a few marbles that I am sending off to leroy to have restored one of them is a first off or a end of day and again I found these while digging for bottles. I put a pic of some of the newer glass marbles I find in the first foot or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Grandma's 9/16" and smaller hand mades are impressive. And that 'Clown' Onionskin is outrageous....whoa! This Thread Rocks! David P.S. I would remiss if I didn't mention I'llhavethat's. There's just no end to over-the-top hand mades here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE MARBLES Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 These are all handmade and among my favorites! Lou remember you saying you like these? Like to see you post once in a while, it is Lou's Marble Connection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Early on in my introduction to Marble Connection I ran through thread after thread in the back pages. There is a wealth of nice stuff there. Unfortunately many of the photographs seem to expire after a while. Just not enough carrying capacity for all of it? I kinda wondered about that. There'd be a thread I'd be interested in for myself and "Oops!" no pics or it would be one that I thought would be especially pertinent with whatever happened to be going on. That's why I went bonkers when for a while all the Threads back there were Locked. Like I was going to sabotage things! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Not sure if I can get the pics to work? Great thread & super marbles everyone. marblemsier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 That's why I went bonkers when for a while all the Threads back there were Locked. Like I was going to sabotage things! I didn't know a lot were locked... But apparently, there is some sort of net etiquette thing about not digging up a lot of old threads... I never could figure that out... Though, when I saw this one, I was thinkin' I'd have to look up some pictures. Then, I realized I'd already done it... So, I guess it's to avoid confusion and back-peddling... I think the solution is to begin a new thread and link the old thread into it... That green spiral is so cool!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigafoose Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Yes I know she ain't old and she ain't valuable but to me this is one of the most stunning I have ever seen....eye of the beholder I guess.

Scoop Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Is that a Beetem??? What size?? (I think Glass Eye might be copying his...) she ain't valuable I wouldn't say that!!! They aren't cheap!! And yes, they are BEAUTIFUL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
