MrsMopar Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I like this one because the inside reminds me of a candy we used to get as kids. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divingbod Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Nice looker isn't it. What do you call that kind of core - is it some kind of translucent ribbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 It's tough to tell exactly what that core is... Is it solid color (transparent & opague) all the way around?? Or, are there openings in it? If it is solid, it's kind've unique... I don't know that there is a huge collector base. But, I know one guy in Maine who looks for them and calls them "Tiffany Windows...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeager Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I have a few of those. I have been told that they are called Church Windows which I guess is the same as tiffany windows. I never heard anyone else call them that. I love it when handmades get a little attention!! I am posting a pic of my candy marbles for felicia.

MrsMopar Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 This marble is 13/16" and it was described as a 'German ribbon core with beautiful transparent jelly bands outlined in white and alternating yellow outer bands'. The 'Tiffany Windows' sounds more elegant Sue. Candy works for me, seeing as I'm a chocoholic...lol There are 4 separate bands, blue/green/blue/green with opaque white on both sides of each band. All I know is that it looks scrumputous, didn't cost me my first born and I like it. Those are gorgeous Joe! Just like candy. Will have to be on the look-out for one of those too. Wonder how many more look like sweet treats? Thanks, :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divingbod Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Wow. Nice set of candies there Joe! I also like it when handmades get some of the limelight...as if I don't already spend far too much time staring at these little glass balls And Felicia, I agree that "Tiffany Windows" sounds best. These ones make me think of candy..., although they're maybe more like a 'Willy Wonka' kind! and they make me realise how much I love this hobby too!
