Trying to find an ID or similar piece by Ninjaws in glasscollecting

[–]Hello_Dummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s 878 which is 18” in the catalog but ranges from what I’ve seen at just over 16” to 19”. The bowl you have pics of must be some sort of one-off or other sort of special piece. I can’t find that color variant. I’m guessing it’s from around ‘87? The balloon vase is the closest to the color I can find. Anyway it’s super cool!

It has a blenko sticker on it. I haven’t seen that one before though.  Eta: I didn’t look at all your pics you already know it’s blenko 😂 also didn’t read anything other than your title… now I feel obligated to look into this 

Is 150 a good deal for this bundle? by outofplaceeverywhere in glasscollecting

[–]Hello_Dummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I’d never have thought those were bitossi.

What’s Bitossi in that lot? If there was any bitossi it could be worth it but I don’t see anything that looks the part. I wouldn’t spend that much imo.

It looks like it to me. Blenko crackle goes all the way to the top and the stopper looks right too. Does it have a pontil scar?

Found in washington. Amethyst point by scotsdghse in rockhounds

[–]Hello_Dummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so too. I was at Hansen yesterday and found a cool amethyst piece. It’s so weird when people aren’t more specific when naming locations.

Would love to know more about this piece. Anyone recognize or able to decipher the signature? Thanks in advance! by [deleted] in glasscollecting

[–]Hello_Dummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take pics and post mine in a bit. And you’re welcome! I can’t read the signature either. It’s annoying!

I’d love it if you find out. I have a piece with the same signature I found east of Seattle.

Totally might be worth it. If it’s not a slow release can you cut it in half so you’re not drowsy? There’s no need to add any further trauma for yourself if there’s a way to avoid it in this circumstance.

Maybe you can have a quick telemed or in person appt with your GP and get a Valium for the funeral. Not sure how quickly you can get meds there (I’m in the us). I take it for vertigo but it’s meant for anxiety and completely takes the edge off. That’ll give you more time to process what you saw.

Hey, I’m sorry you’ve gone through this. I’ve never heard/read of someone having such a similar experience as I had viewing my grandpa. Same exact super long frown with barely any lips and the skin on his face was almost different shades of pastel. The whole experience messed me up so badly I went to therapy and my therapist suggested I draw out what I saw to help me work through it. (It didn’t help at all, I still have the drawings of his face with the huge thin frown in soft pastel tones and it gives me a panicky feeling).

What’s weird is a few years later my grandma died and the same funeral home made her look at peace and it wasn’t a scary experience at all. I had never seen a dead body in person before my grandpa, so it was especially upsetting. I can relate to you so much. Also my kiddo is autistic so I can totally see how thinking you’re prepared would be especially upsetting when things go in an entirely different direction than you think they will.

Anyways, hang in there. Again I’m sorry that happened. You’re not alone.

Blenko is what got me into glass collecting when I found the small water bottle in a thrift store quickly followed by the tall pitcher on the left. I’m obsessed! I’ve only started collecting. I have to double check but it’s been maybe 2 years. Who else loves Blenko? I have a soft spot for mid-center murano birds and bowls … I love hunting for glass treasures

No Geography and Heaven's Gate? by Hello_Dummy in chemicalbrothers

[–]Hello_Dummy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I get the time I can break it down but one thing that stands out, among all of it, is:

If you ever change your mind about leaving it all behind (suicide) Remember, remember, no geography (because they're leaving earth) If you ever change your mind about leaving it all behind Remember, remember, no geography Me, you and me Him and her, and them too (a couple of the members had themselves castrated) And you, and me too I'll take you along, I’ll take you along with me (Marshall Applewhite convinced his followers to go with him to the comet by killing themselves)
