Hi David.

I saw that post too and my jaw dropped! I only hope I can get my pieces half as good as that one, it's simply amazing...absolutely stunning. Like I mentioned above, I'm no painter but I'm trying to learn about highlighting and shading, etc. It's a little more advanced than paint by numbers, but it's much easier than trying to paint a picture on a blank page!

I've seen a couple other places who've painted marbles, but very few in person. I was actually inspired by another forum member after looking at her site http://www.rgilengravers.homestead.com/Photo_Gallery.html. I thought she did a wonderful job so I ran out and got me some paints and new brushes!

I'm always looking to put a new spin on my products. Hopefully it will start to pay off soon!
