OMG, Marina, you are such a glass tease. Glad to see you got everything out. Such a huge undertaking to sort through all those gorgeous pieces of glass. Thank you again for being such a great host to this event and I very much look forward to the next one.

BTW, are folfs going to be posting pics of the items that they got in return? I noticed that a lot of people did that last year and it is cool to see who got your pieces.

I got mine yesterday but dropped one in the driveway on the way in to the house. Doh! Luckily it'll be an easy fix. I'll take pics once I repair it. Thanks Marina for hosting the swap!

damn boy...$6 says it was mine lol

TlkQ

05-23-2012, 08:59 AM

Nope. Actually it's kind of funny. I have met like 5 people off of this forum in real life. Lowly Worm is one of those people and I ended up with a sweet boogery nose pendant from him. Broke the boogers off of it. Easy fix though.

I'll take that $6 now ;-)

Mine arrived safe and was very impressed with them,
I like turtles and got 2.
Bernings turtle being hatched out of the egg is my favorite one though.

Let's see if it works this time.

Bunyip

05-24-2012, 05:39 AM

That skull was made by impressing a stainless steel skull I have into white hot boro, fumed, filled with clear and then backed - I think I used solid rod for backing because the size got a bit out of control. Sorry about the quality, it's been a while since I've made those but I wanted to include a good variety in the exchange. I saw the other skull (the solid one) in another pic - that's blue moon powder over a molded skull.

I got mine, they're the hawtness...and that filla dish-pendant is sick as hell. Lots to love here, that one just had a big wow factor when I opened the box.

The claw pendant didn't have a label or anything with it, all the others were labelled.

Hazeey

05-24-2012, 09:40 AM

I think mine in that kind of box was from Maui greenstone. Nice pieces you got there, had an issue with my pics so I'll get mine up soon. Thanx again everbody!

akmewon

05-24-2012, 11:55 AM

haha that was my filla dish ...glad u likey.i see my cherry murrine in other pic....sweet.

This is the best I could do in shitty lighting, so you'll have to trust me that daveabr's pendant is a beautiful encased opal with some Alien Tech(?) horns:

You got one of my snails! The spirals for the shells were a bitch

Well, it looks nice! Slyme for slyme, that's a fair trade...

Bunyip

05-29-2012, 09:31 AM

Nice haul. Just for the record, I wore that piece I sent in a few times before I could let it go. In fact it almost didn't go.

05-29-2012, 09:37 AM

Lucky for me!

glassdocnc

05-29-2012, 09:43 AM

Did I mention that all the pendants are wonderful and I REALLY enjoyed fondling them? Thanks again guys! I love seeing pictures of the newly assembled collections.

Provided I survive the onslaught of marbles and everyone is happy, I'll do it again next year.

Bunyip

05-29-2012, 09:51 AM

Lucky for me!

I got one of yours too - but I was REALLY hoping to get that rasta reversal spiral... If you accidentally make another one I'll swap w/ ya again ;)

05-29-2012, 09:57 AM

Let me finish these marbles first; then I'll PM ya.

daveabr

05-29-2012, 10:27 AM

Thanks for the pic Lowly Worm! Those are AT horns. Simple design, yet they look awesome. People eat them up.

I just got back from AC, and haven't gotten to my box yet. Can't wait.

I finally got home Tuesday night from a trip up to NJ with a stop at Marina's before I went up there.
It was amazing fondling everyone's pendants. Such great work! Heather and I tried super hard sorting like for like and making sure no one got doubles of anyones pendants. I really hope everyone was pleased. It wasn't easy and took a long time but honestly, a lot of the time I was over at the window ooohing and aaaahing.
Here's a pic of the goodies I brought home.
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1620/1158394/4635451/402829213.jpg

From:
MarkNJ- a functional pendant. I didn't really feel right taking this one but it wouldn't fit in the small flat rate boxes. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. It's so colorful and awesome.
TikQ- Snail! I love it.
Berning Glass- Amazing undersea pendant.
Jerri- Really cool swirly water-looking pendant
Maui Greenstone- Sweet little starfish
Lysa- Love the jelly!
Bunyip- Swirled cane? Beautiful colors (btw- the claw is from me. Had it in a box but we had size/space restrictions with the mailing boxes.)
Ryan E.-Huge swirly sparkly guy. Fuming in there?
XLConch- Teardrop stretched flower. Pic doesn't show the cool colors well.
Akmewon- Just wow. We were bouncing around ideas on just how the heck you did that. Very cool.
Ted W. 2times- Like an angel wing. Lovely.
The Flasch- Dichro backed implosion. Sparkles like a s.o.b.

Thank you everyone!

On the hate train .... per my tracking the box hit me last wed .... called em .... put it in the system, they said someone would follow up .... the local mail lady stopped by (follow up)and says she remembers the package hitting my box. POS neighbors, local thief, who knows ..... it's not even a money thing on this one, kinda phukz with the heart strings, I have a glass case I put shit in traded and made ya know, friends stuffz .... you can just see a tweaker or neighbor opening the package thinking something yummy and getting glass .... bet they just threw it away. Phuck em, I'll never know. I'll have things delivered to the buiz from now on .....

glassdocnc

06-01-2012, 08:20 AM

That sucks.

LunacyMountain

06-01-2012, 04:33 PM

WOW....wtf...maybe you should move or at least install some camera's bro...if you can't afford a nice security system just go spend 100-200 on one of those night time hunter camera's...they are motion sensored... just throw a SD card in it and set it up somewhere discrete.. pretty easy to catch ya local thiefs in the act, they are usually pretty dim witted

but damn real sorry to hear about that

MarioSC

06-01-2012, 06:16 PM

That sux bad man. I would hate that feeling. Maybe a few of us should make a couple more pendants just for FoSho. That just sux to hear.

LunacyMountain

06-01-2012, 06:46 PM

how many did you send in FoSho?

I'll help out and send 1 more to ya bro

MarioSC

06-01-2012, 07:00 PM

List say he sent in 6. I'm in for 1 or 2 myself. Hoping some others jump in on this. I would want someone to do tha same for me.

glassdocnc

06-01-2012, 07:08 PM

I'm planning to put in a little something extra from me in Chad's marble exchange box.

Thanks for stepping up guys.

I won't post his address without permission so maybe you can send him a PM for that.

LunacyMountain

06-01-2012, 07:21 PM

when is the mail out date for marbles...? maybe we can get the pendants to you before you mail the marbles, if not we'll get up with FoSho and ask him what he wants to do...he might not want to send them to that address again anyways idk

glassdocnc

06-01-2012, 07:24 PM

Sorting is on next Saturday, mailing will be first part of the next week. It would only work if you have something ready to go but I'm happy to help if it makes sense to send here first.

MarioSC

06-01-2012, 08:09 PM

I would be willing to send stuff out from my end. I know Marina got a lot on her plate right now wit tha marble exchange. Or maybe we could just send it to him directly. Idk... Whatever yall wanna do I'm down

rvp117

06-01-2012, 08:33 PM

Wow, these pictures are amazing. I really hope to participate in the next pendant trade. Just from pictures I see these very original starfish, sea anemones, snails, implosions, too many to list. The starfish I'd my fav!

Samson

06-02-2012, 02:51 AM

Yall are good peeps man ... thxn for the kind words and wanting to hook a brotha from another motha up. I won't let this happen again as I'll have all my stuff sent to my studio address instead of home. No worries, don't make more for me, I've got the marbles to look forward too! Hard to buy time right now and don't want anyone losing any of theirs 8)

3musesglass

06-02-2012, 06:25 AM

That sucks Chad. *insert bad words and curses for the thieving MFPOS around here*

I'll bring you over a pendant when I'm able to get back on the torch.

STROKER

06-02-2012, 07:23 AM

my mibs havent gone out because i wanted to do a few more with some dichro i just got.

they will go out first thing monday and i should be sending 8-10 very nice ones.

chad i have a pendant coming your way too. cant let some bad apple spoil the fun for ya man.

im down to include it in my package to marina or send directly to you. let us know.

eyeseeglass

06-02-2012, 06:30 PM

Fosho/chad/dude who got screwed royally.

Don't be bashful bro! You deserve your pendants! I didn't participate in the pendant exchange but id be more than willing to send you a pendant or two. Glass artists should always share with each other.

You should send yourself a bomb in the post and see if they steal that too.....haha

but seriously thats some twisted shit. I hope whoever stole that package is still staring at the awesomeness they received.

Bunyip

06-04-2012, 11:40 AM

Bunyip- Swirled cane? Beautiful colors (btw- the claw is from me. Had it in a box but we had size/space restrictions with the mailing boxes.)

Ah, I think I may have mixed up the boxes then, or something, I have a box w/ your info on it. Thanks for the heads up.

My piece was actually an attempt at a wig-wag ;) It came out pretty darn nice, but... not really all that wiggy or waggy.

Samson

06-06-2012, 01:05 PM

BAM:bouncy:

People behind me brought it today .... bout crapped myself. I thought for sure these were lost in the void! I will display them and stories will be told lol. As you can see the work is incredible and mucho baller. TYVM to the peeps who wanted my addy to hook me up .... good peeps, you know who you are and it's very much appreciated. TY Marina once more , looking forward to the next one! Peace!
