I need a break from this .. still need to fix a few things but I'll get back to it soon

YEAH! Now that's what I'm talkin' a'bout!! This is fab, bette! Love the casting light reflections on the table/floor(?) surface and how you've captured the air bubbles inside the marbles. This is exceptional already!

bette_davis_eyes (May 11, 2009)

thanks elly! I'm starting to love drawing shiny things too :P so glad ya like it :D

firecracker (May 11, 2009)

This is totally awesome!! These marbles look so realistic.....it's amazing how you did this. I love it!! :)

violet_m00n (May 11, 2009)

I have I think about...30- 40 marbles, but none look as great as the ones you've drawn here

bette_davis_eyes (May 11, 2009)

thanks firecracker and violet! I have a collection of antique marbles violet, and I love each and every one of them :D

Beautifully done Bette, in fact, it's marbleous@!

jekyll (May 11, 2009)

Nice work, Bette! It's nice to know some of you still have some of these. I lost all my marbles......

QTgillie (May 11, 2009)

these are lovely. May I have them so I can draw them? I just did some on another sight but they were puries, not as impressive.

riccir (May 11, 2009)

HiroDaZero (May 11, 2009)

bette_davis_eyes (May 11, 2009)

oh ok .. I didn't know how to take it when I saw that link .. sorry if I jumped to conclusions.
and thank you for clearing that up and also for the nice compliment :)

firecracker (May 12, 2009)

I used to collect marbles when I was a kid.....I had tons of them! I also had some marbles that were really old....I think they were antique marbles, and they were in an old antique looking jar. They were in my garage.....I was dumb enough to give all my marbles to my neighbor, for his kids to play with. I don't know why I did that....I should have kept them. Some of the marbles looked like these ones that you drew here. Very beautiful looking marbles......great draw!! :)

bette_davis_eyes (May 13, 2009)

thank you firecracker :) and yeah, you should have kept them, you probably had a few valuable ones in that old jar :O

Wow, it's awesome! Long time since I've played with marbles... I miss them. ^_^
These are absolutely gorgeous.

montezmaria (May 15, 2009)

Oh yeah, this is awesome. The lighting, reflection on the table and glass of the marble itself is spectacular. Love this one of yours.

Aakyra (May 15, 2009)
