| It's in great company, that's for sure, Wow! The egg yolk and "old style" -type oxblood (ie: handmade) + pops are what I've heard German, not that small tho. | |

| Yeah, it's kinda like the old adage, Give them books and all they do is chew the covers. I throw out directions. Bad habit of mine.
BTW Bob, install ispell on your tool bar and you won't have any probs. Now if I can just remember to use the darn thing |

| Thanks:-)
Lots of practice and then a lot more practice ....lol here's a sweet little slag in the same image above... There have been many threads on the boards about shooting marbles, if you do a search on each of the boards I am sure you can find them:-) If you can't find them feel free to email me:-) Although, there are many collectors taking awesome images with different set ups and cameras. Just goes to show us... there's more than one way to skin a cat:-) So it's not so much a matter of techniques as it is "knowing" one's tools for capturing images...

| You are right on two counts Roger... From the pics it's not easy to tell how small it actually is ...... and they were very skilled indeed!!! I have a hard time making marbles smaller than about 3/4"....
Here it is again in a group to give it perspective... Thanks for pointing this out... BT  |

| Yeeeeeeoow! Just from looking at the pics, I would never suspect it was so small. Proof of how skillful those early glassmakers were. ... Roger | |
