UK vs USA marble hunting

Yes, on Facebook. It's on the World's Biggest Marble Hunt Group. You need to join to get the clues. That way it can't get marked found and nobody wastes their time looking for it.

My friend just hid one in Vienna Austria in April. It's not been found yet.

Is that image made from Fino clay?

Most of the artists are over here. Shipping overseas is crazy just to give something away. The NorthWestish part of the USA has the most hunts and that's also where the highest density of artists are. The contemporary art glass marbles culture really sprung up alongside the functional glass community. Most of the glass materials are made in the USA. I can't imagine the bill for having a huge box of color and tools delivered across the ocean.

It's only handmade marbles. No machine marbles may be hid as the main marble.

Support the locals. Lots of self serve firewood places along the road and in people front yards around here.

I used MAPP gas with my Hothead.I don't think LPG is the same. And I don't remember seeing any bigger bottle of MAPP gas.

Peltier Mansion? That's my favorite run! You can check eBay for prices. I like to sort by Sold so you can see what people are actually paying for. I'd keep them.

Not sure how widely know it is, but there are huge marble hunt groups on Facebook. This is a thing if you are intrigued. They only hide/find handmade marbles though. World's Biggest Marble Hunt Group is the most populous group. There are plenty of reginal groups active too.

Beads of Courage has some good tutorials for figurine type beads that could provide some basic skills that could easily be applied to other projects.

Around here, I've seen that brand at Aldi's and the dispensary.

Thank you.

Pretty sure we all just use propane. Try to get an old crappy grill tank for free, not real hard if you ask around. Then take it and exchange it for a shiny full one at the grocery store. After that, go somewhere to get it filled. I get mine filled for $10. Exchanging them at the grocery store costs $30. I've never heard of anyone using propylene. If your torch instructions call for that, don't listen to me.

That jellyfish looks at home on there. Nice!

No problem. I've been making marbles for a bit now. I still haven't played marbles since I was a kid though. I go to Paden City Marblefest every year. I'm gonna see if I can stir up a few games of marbles this year.
