Jay, Joel and Bill - good work all.

I just got home from a Kobuki class in Atlanta (Flametree). We'll see tomorrow if I can do justice to his flower technique.

i found john to be a great teacher and he has so many subtle things that make his work so tight. most people overlook those fine details and his work is nothing but...

no doubt he will have helped you step up your game marina.

pics when you get a few done.

First of what I hope will be the max number of marble.

Nice one Mark!

Thanks for the info Jes.

I was gonna go to that show, but already have plans for that weekend :(

Anyways, what's the deadline to get stuff in the mail? I have a few things I could send asap, but would like to make some new stuff just for the swap if I have time.

I saw the date on the first post, then something about that may have been a typo?

-Doug

• Marbles must be postmarked by MAY 31, 2012 if you live in the US and postmarked by MAY 10, 2012 if you live anywhere but the US (that includes Canada!)

The typo is that I hadn't switched the word "pendants" for "marbles". Thanks for allowing me to clarify that Doug.

So you have some time! I for one am going to need a bit more time to step up my game.

Oh ok cool, I was thinking maybe the pendants had more (or less) time, but if you're running them together that does give me time. It also means I can bring more work to AGE :)

If you haven't heard there will be a "non-functional" tent at AGE on at least one day for several hours for all the marble junkies to get their fix in some kind of semi-official venue at the show. I'll try to get more info... but it is official, there will be a symbiotic marble show at AGE! (some may say parasitic, but we're bringing collectors of glass in that otherwise wouldn't attend)!

Been having fun with marbles. Sign me up here too please.

Welcome Greenhorse Glass / Cody.

There's an extra month for marbles (as compared to the pendant exchange).

Sweet! I loved seeing your pendants last year Chris. The marbles look great!

That's how I feel about the pendant swap. Puke.

No need to be intimidated, guys. There are many different skill levels that are represented in the list of artists (from what I can see). Just put out "your" best work and have fun. From what I understand, this is all about having fun with your work and getting the oppertunity to share your glass with other artists whom you may not normally have contact with and vice versa.

I know that I'm in the middle to lower end of the skill scale in reguards to marbles. But I'm looking at it as a chance to have fun with it, try new things, let other artists get my work and for me to get some other artists' work. I'm freakin' stoked!

^ THAT is the right attitude!

I agree as well, that is the most positive attitude for one to have towards this whole event. But it is still a little intimidating, , at least for me. Really, I am very stoked, but the intimidation factor comes from the idea that the person receiving the marble might recognize a lack of time and technique in the execution and see it as a lesser piece than the one they submitted, even if it is done to the best of my ability. Then this mystery recipient might be less prone to joining in future such events while affixing an unfair perception to the skill level of the artist whose marble they received. I know, I should stop overthinking shit and just melt. Working on it.

No worries, the Doc does a good job of matching up the quality of pieces sent to the ones you receive. At least I thought so from what I saw in the pendant swap last year. The feeling of stepping up ones game is for me a never ending feeling. Skill and imagination are the only limits, that's why I love glassworking. Now, back to working on those skills. Can't wait to see what comes back.

Well put me down on the list. I haven't been on the forum in a while, and love to collect other members mibs. My real name is Barrett

ill get in on this...

OK folks, that's all for this exchange. I'm looking forward to seeing all the pretties. I promise pictures of the sorting in progress.

ETA: Well I just got a PM for a cancellation so there is room for one more after all.

I want in!

PoMo you are first on the wait list if anyone backs out.

(Usually there are a couple so I'd recommend you be ready to mail them if your number comes up)

Nevermind. I made a mistake. PoMo you are in. What's your name IRL?

oh sorry Pouria is my name :)

Thanks, you are added.

My apprentice has been working on marbles and wants to add one to the swap, should I mail one of his with mine as long as it's under the maximum?

Oh crap - I just finished wrapping my marbles to mail next week and forgot to take pix... oh well. maybe I need a nurse...lol

I guess it's fine as long as you clearly indicate his name and your name for that specific piece. It's going to be "interesting" enough sorting these things without excessive complications and I don't want to risk sending your own marble back (or wondering where the random name came from) because of a labeling issue.
