Once in a while...

[richsantaclaus]

...life gives you a very positive happening. It happened to me as Rogue's artist trade came in the mail. I made the mistake of showing my wife and she took one for herself! These pictures don't do these beauties justice! Thank you Rogue as I really needed a boost these days.

[istandalone24/7]

should be signed ti "MA 12" on the bottoms.

[ROGUE]

lol! Rich mine is the one with the dot stack...

So now all those nice things you said weren't actually for me. :-(

I sure hope you got mine Rich

[richsantaclaus]

I just LOVE being OLD and messing up!!!

Please don't hold my "oldfartness" against me...

My wife really did take one of the marbles for her collection - it's in the center of her wall display!

I do apologize for the switching of names - no excuse for that (but I'll try to make one - moving is a *itch!!! added to the left heal - I just got shot #9 in it after pulling all the ligaments away from the heel 2 1/2 years ago and just recently the pain is subsiding - not a good excuse for the error I made though).

[istandalone24/7]

ouch! here's to a speedy recovery!

[richsantaclaus]

I am going to have to start a list of goofs!




(If I can remember to do that!)


I hope you continue to make a series of these type of mibs because you have a natural talent for color!

[ROGUE]

So did you actually get mine Rich?

[Aaron Ellis]

Lol I love it. You all make me laugh.
Istandalone24/7 those are beautiful infact there downright breathtaking.
I'm sure ROGUE's are just as impressive. I hope we get to see them too hint hint.

[richsantaclaus]

not yet I am afraid Rogue... I'll post pix as soon as the package arrives.

[richsantaclaus]

Aaron - I had to make Greymater Glass (Doug) happy and start my own thread separate from the 2013 exchange thread - don't want to upset tooooo many people...

and... I am truly sorry I goofed!

[istandalone24/7]

Rich, thanks for the kind words. marbles are my passion ( you might have guessed that). i do need to start practicing some hollow though. i've gone nowhere (no progress) with hollow/blown work.

[ROGUE]

not yet I am afraid Rogue... I'll post pix as soon as the package arrives.

That really worries me. I have sent two packages to CA after yours and they have both arrived. My tracking number for you says it arrived yesterday at 956 am. Oh no! :-(

[ROGUE]

Yes, they are very beautiful Mike, you did an excellent job. I'll post the one you made me up in here too

[richsantaclaus]

The package got here L A T E to my mailbox. I'll shoot pix and post later today.

[ROGUE]

Guess your wife didn't want to steal mine? lol

[richsantaclaus]

She hasn't seen it yet!




(and maybe I won't!)

wow rogue that is splendid I like the peacock pattern and the side view of the flower is a neat idea very cool.

[ROGUE]

Thanks aaron, I really like making flowers, but wanted to take it in a different direction. So I literally changed directions by changing the axis the flower gets displayed at. That was my first attempt at my "flower window" series.
