My First Marbles


Recommended Posts

Dang...those are great. Sure wish I could do that. I've tried marbles once, and didn't even come close. Did you happen to follow the marble instructions on this site?

Actually I did. I let the wax get a little drier than what it describes but only because I got distracted. I've got four more to unmold tomorrow and I hope they turn out as well.

I don't know that the colors are all that odd for med fig. I finally tried a sample of that FO. Although I like it, I can't really place it (like you can when you smell rose or sage & lemongrass, for examples); so, those colors are GREAT w/ that FO! :wink2:

The design of your marbles is very interesting - puts me in mind of tiger stripes. MEOW! :cheesy2:

Nice looking! How did you get the gold color... kinda looks like what the gold pigments look like in wax. Bruce

I used some block ivory and then added 2 drops of coffee brown to 3 lbs of wax. I was going for more of an oatmeal color but I still like it even though it did turn out with more goldish.
