And your emoticon is deceiving there. I have 11 of them, not 2.

^ Here's a group shot. They look better in person of course. The skull is very clean. Hard to believe that was your first attempt at that type skull mib.
One of these days I'm gonna figure out the whole good picture thing. I've got a crappy little light box that just makes things look worse. And yes, I know, there are lots of threads with advice. Sigh. I just need to take the time to read and understand...
Excellent, thanks a bunch!
And taking pictures is a huge learning curve, it only looks simple. It helps a lot if you have a DSLR because you can use the right lenses. Most P&S cameras are fairly limited in aperture settings, even at the "pro-sumer" level. A light box is useful, but it's just a tool, and I think it's importance is overrated a lot of times. It's just that you can make a light box for pennies, whereas a decent DSLR + a great lens will set you back a nice chunk of dough.
Having the right equipment and the know-how to use it yields spectacular results without a light box. The attached picture was taken on my kitchen counter top, on a 12"x12" piece of gray wool felt, on an overcast Florida day with no interior lights on. A light box would have probably not yielded the glare from the window, but... I can live with that for a quick shot :)
click the pic for a slightly larger version...
See you just demonstrated that (as with most things) it's the operator, not the equipment that matters most.
but what about this guy and his starving children lol : http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showt...ighlight=heartQuote:

OK folks. The marbles have been sorted and assigned their new homes. Re-wrapping them and packaging for shipping will have to wait for another day. I need a drink, a nap or both. Thanks go to Lysa and Cheri for helping make sure the trades were as even as possible and that (hopefully) no one got back their own marble or more than one from any other artist.
Brad, Mark, and Waffles; since it is unlikely that all of the boxes will be mailed by Monday I'll do my best to do at least a partial swap for you if your marbles get here by then.
Here's what the table looks like after shuffling:
Thanks for all the hard work! Can't wait for my new goodies!
Just wanted to let you know......I licked each and every one of those beautiful balls.
Cool, Lysa, I'll treasure them forever! (Actually, I will). Thank you all for your hard work making them and sorting through them all (I would have gotten SO confused)! Can't wait to see them.
Peg
Seeing them all out on the table like that is furthermore exciting. Even retroactively grafted upon my previous excitement. I can even pick out my little green boxes about to be off towards their new homes. Goodbye, my little creations! I hope your new owners are as happy staring at you as I was making you! Ahhh, the anticipation is killing me. :D
Hey y'all,
I had a dream. I had a package that I had opened up and inside were the exchange marbles. It was so real. It was like opening a long awaited for package that contains marbles...
Seriously, I did have the dream. So I guess I'm saying that I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the marbles from you guys. Just thought I would share a moment, hope y'all feel the same.
Later
Do you know why the felt on a pool table is green?
If you had 16 balls, you'd be green too!
groan....
stick to bad jokes and good pictures Rich....
Well after 14 years at 8th grade with 12 1nd 13 year olds even my wife groans at my jokes!
Super excited to receive some mibs!!! Thanks to everyone who participated! All of them will be going in my personal collection, or onto pieces for my personal collection :)
Anyone else getting nervous, thinking "man, I hope I wrote my return address right" ?
My home address and shop address are so similar I always stress it, but this time even more than normal :P
I promise an update with tracking numbers later today. The first (but not all) boxes went out on Monday.
I hope mine get here by Friday as my wife and I are going on a 10,000 mile photography road trip! We are taking 8 weeks for the trip. Leaving Saturday and won't be back until the middle of August. This is going to be such an exciting art trade and I don't want to wait to see the artistic talents of everyone's marbles i get.
Allrightythen, the last of the tracking numbers has been entered.
I'd love to see posts as your packages begin to arrive.

oooh, sorry about that unfortunate color choice.
My eyes!!! MY EYES!!!!
FRIST!
uJust got mine, they look great!
And I got the pipe...
the pipe?
... I guess the eyes are kinda smashed marbles... :P
Doug, the MARBLE is the exchange, the pipe is "just" the stand.
That particular exchange was for your beautiful big double sided wig wag.
Hopefully both of you will be happy :-)
Oh, I thought the pipe was the exchange and the marble was just ornamentation. I get it now...
^ That's another exchange... (not mine)
The STUPID Post Office at the final location before delivery to me sent my marbles I SHOULD have received WAY up north. I hope they get here Friday or it's a wait of 2 months for me to see the art you guys did! Oh well......
Got mine Tuesday !!!! WOOOW --- kickass,they are are "great"!!!
Wished my wrist wasn't screwed up = would have had better marbs to trade...
Thank You glassdoc for doing all this !
The skullls are awesome!!!!
Now how did you make them = I need a tool ,hint hint
Peace
Joe B.
Pics or it didn't happen Joe.
Got mine on wed. and they are georeous, I'll post pics in a few weeks. Leavin town for honeymoon so no time for pics now, thanx again for all the work Marina.
No question that a honeymoon trumps pics of marbles! Have fun Eric.
Glad you all are happy so far! I sure did enjoy oogling all of them!
Rich, your package shows "out for delivery" now so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to get them before your trip.
Got mine today and besides akmewon's encased opal spidering inside the implosion everything looks great!!
Akmewon- the mib is sweet, just had some issues with your opal i think :(
Getting mine Monday according to scheduale, everyone should post pics of what they got!!!
