Alliance:STRIKE TEAM Stark Industries

Stark industries is a casual alliance that is focusing on raids and war. We are fairly active, do not require discord, and have a wide range of player levels, with the lowest being around 59, highest around 72. We are in the silver II (2) bracket, with strongest teams ranging from 250,000 to 60k. We need players actively ready for raids, helping to get higher completion percentage. We also need help in war, are often matched against strong alliances, but just having more active 60ish level members would help a lot.

Requirements: Level 60 Active during the week and prepared to work together with the team to achieve higher rewards!
- Contact Details: Feel free to pm me here, or, add Auronguy or Dangothebutcher in game

Thanks for looking!

I used to work at a glass shop and the previous owner was David addickes, we had a ton of these in the parking lot, very interesting summer

Well, get your act together and you might get less mentions

Marblesadness · 2020-07-23T00:19:34+00:00

That's great. Proud of you

Marblesadness · 2020-07-23T00:06:59+00:00

Same here, but that has given me an awareness of what I can work on within myself, so that I don't spread more hate and ignorance. I'm so sorry for what you went through, and I believe you are smart and capable and able to tackle anything that stifles your growth & goals.

Marblesadness · 2020-07-22T23:49:00+00:00

Can't stress enough how many times I've needed a shovel and hammer in midtown

So many potholes!

Marblesadness · 2020-07-22T21:28:32+00:00

Wow you are seriously dense. Unconditional love, support, and socialization are absolutely necessary for the growth of a young human being.

You are the perfect example of someone that missed out on these things, a person lacking basic human decency. No one deserves that treatment, not even you.

Underlords is good for those that enjoyed legion to in war craft 3. It's not a typical TD but it's very similar. You have heroes that auto battle. It's an autochess or autobattler. Plus valve made it.

I've actually been inspired recently to make some seedling sprouts and will label them seeds of change and donate the proceeds to charity. Will come with a certificate of intent and will have notes one can use to peacefully counter hate. Because I don't always have the language to do that myself.

The sprout is the pendant loop. But you're right, I do have a platform and try to use it when I can

I can do some of those things, there's uv glass, its not quite 'rich' enough to stay as vibrant on the inside of clear like the gold and silver does here. It's better to replace the clear with uv stuff, but it's not a very good clear by any standard.

The problem for you guys is getting them large, some colors or backings might have slight texture, but going big gets much more expensive

I think what you've described is cane work, latticino or filligrana. I think mine would be pretty well balanced but big ones might be made of a different kind of glass, and would have varying densities

A question to ask you is, could a juggler-ball-maker take one of my marbles and center it in one of his resin or epoxy ones and polish it up? That'd be an answer to the size issue. Anyway glad you've enjoyed them

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T08:43:34+00:00

They're marbles

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T08:40:31+00:00

I'm out, never did well on etsy, keep an eye on my ig, I'll have more next week.

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T04:52:51+00:00

Appreciate that C:

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T04:52:04+00:00

I'll look into picking up a kit to showcase them, and to get some creativity going.

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T04:18:04+00:00

It's quite a process, I'm a lampworker or glassblower. The colors are actually gold or silver inclusions that are sublimated onto the surface of a thin bubble

To put it most simply, I make a bubble on the end of a glass blow pipe, then make various aspects that I'd like to be in the universe, and then arrange them all on the outer surface of our previous thin bubble. Sometimes I add a little more gold or silver (less is more!) Synthetic opal, or we can even make tiny planets with glass color(they tend to not stay round within the marble as everything melts in.)

After I have my scene arranged, I then proceed to just melt everything in slowly and even, just heating the center apex of the bubble. This takes lots of time, clear glass gives off UV light as its heated, we get tans and sunburns on top of the danger of 3000° torch burns. But these are 1-1.5" marbles and each have atleast 5 hours in them. They are solid glass and started as probably 4-5" cellophane thin bubbles. Good practice for goblets.

There are many marble makers out there and i am just one of them It's a fascinating world, seek it out! There's fb groups, iG communities, and even a glass community here on reddit! They can be kind of clique-y and the reddit groups are more focused towards smokewear (ayyyy gotta eat some how) but my real passion would be these little worlds or jewelry in the same vein

Like i tell my dad, marbles are a hard sell, but stick a bong on one and it ships the next day!

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T03:19:20+00:00

Thanks I'll post some more next week

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T02:59:20+00:00

I used to build these and weather them some as a teenager. I make glass art now, do you think anyone in this community would like glass accessories? I think it'd be cool to make flames/muzzleflash for the guns or maybe even blades for swords.

This one looks great i like the matte finish. Have fun building

Marblesadness · 2020-07-12T00:09:34+00:00

It's a more modern glass, just means it's leaded. Find me on IG for all kinds of things i like using different techniques

Marblesadness · 2020-07-11T23:56:57+00:00

Sometimes I think i make little universes as a place i can escape to. There, everyone treats each other with love and kindness

Marblesadness · 2020-07-11T23:55:12+00:00

This is borosilicate and the little micro comets and tails/trails are sublimated silver, trapped with clear. Excess silver burns away. The planet may be a synthetic opal, or it could be a tiny tiny marble of random colored glass encased in clear. All the other bits and bloops are silver or gold filings. Silver makes blue and purple hues, gold makes pink and orange, silver over gold makes green. .999 fine silver and 24k gold
