MrsMopar Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Oohhhhhh..Micas. They still make'em then...kewl! Gorgeous room so far Sue. Is that a hand-painted border? You gonna make the curtains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Felicia, no the border is wall paper. Yes, I do plan to make the curtains... I have the fabric (That's a start!!!) LOL Alan, those Micas are AWESOME!! If I ever knew Bill made them, I must have forgotten... He always had such cool stuff, it's was tough to pick just one or two (usually all I could afford, even though Bill was quite reasonable) So, I'd have likely gone for a swirl, rather than those.... Now, I regret..... LOL Felicia, Bill isn't making marbles any more.... :Sad_headshake_tweetz: Hopefully, someday, we'll get him back.... I bet there are others who are making marbles with mica... Frances Coupal was doing it for a while ('Not sure if he still is....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Wonderful Sue, you'll havta keep me updated on your office. Can't wait to see the finished product (so to speak). Awwwww dagnabbit! Just when I feel like I'm in the 'cross-over' section of viewing and admiring the Contemporaries, lots of the folks don't make'em. Thanx Sue for that info...maybe I can just look up their names and see what's hanging around the internet. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Holy cow. My normal tendency would be to think that marbles should contrast with their background. But that's an awesome photograph, beautifully put-together! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
