Yo! I guess this is where I start huh? The name's Andy. I'm like 30 or something......... I don't keep track anymore.......... I live on the east coast of Florida in Palm Bay. I collect marbles.......hand made ones, old or new it doesn't matter, I just never got into machine made ones............ so I got to thinking one day....... wouldn't it be cool if I could make my own marbles? Well hell yeah it would! So..... I took a 2 day beginning boro class and made some......and had a crapload of fun doing it........ then I ended up draining the bank account to set up my own studio in the shed. Soon enough I'll be making marbles in my back yard if those aura lens goggles ever show up at my front door..........got my fingers crossed for this week. So far I've found lots of good info on this site, looking forward to joining in the fun! Peace..........
