Help a girl out: 11 pendants on eBay going cheap!!

It's pretty sad. I still have yet to see any type of glass manipulation at all from this idiot Moonraker.

That would be fun, actually. :) I need some good clean stress relief!

Yeah, maybe it would cut the noise to bs ratio down significantly, but what a shame to punish the glass people by giving that dickweed more ammo. You're saying that Moonraker's friend has only two synapses? Or types with both hands under the desk, using his nose?

I gave up on that group so long ago it's just not worth re-visiting it.

I am still laughing about the irises and copper foil! Where's AH when we want him? Maybe we could send him photos of the amazing glass art of Moonraker and let him have a go at doing that... it would give AH the chance to produce things that are actually better quality than the original.

Well, normally I would agree with you Mary, but you know, it's really hot here, somehow the thought of torching is not too appealing right now and, well, stuff like this helps pass the time, it's mildly entertaining, releases a bit of tension, and can actually be healthy in small doses :D

Even trolls occasionally serve a purpose.

SNORT!!! hehehehehehehe

Sorry to be so late to respond to this, and I'm too lazy to read all the posts. I'm a huge Ebayer, but not with my SG stuff. You need to find a better way to sell your stuff. Here's the thing about Ebay that many don't get. You can put up a $100 bill for $1 and not get any bids. Why? Because no one can find it. It's no reflection on you or your stuff if you can't find an audience for it on Ebay. I've sold antiques, collectables, comics, and even autos on Ebay, but not too often SG successfully.

Gorgeous work!

Moonraker, you're just plain looking for a fight to entertain your lonely little self -- as usual. Kalera supports a family of five with her lampwork. What do you do, push papers at an office? Wait tables? Nothing wrong with that type of honest work. What Kalera does is honest work too, and lots of it.

Some people don't photograph as well as they look in real life. Kalera is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful, gorgeous, glowing people I've ever met.

It's nice you could join the thread.... albeit a week late.

Did you just get out of rehab and are catching up?

Yeah, leaning up against a lamppost.

I bet she even knows who the father of some of them are, too.

And you were certainly just waiting to pounce! Got nothing else to do, huh?

Rehab? Hell no. Stop using drugs? I'd probably die.

You'd be a halfway decent troll if you were original, funny, or even sorta half-right. You flunk out on the whole attempt.

You do nice work Amy. Ebay is flooded with dichroic glass so it makes it really tough. I've found that craft stores or even selling them on

or even might be right up your alley if you're wanting to get better prices on your work. Don't be afraid to contact stores and ask if they would like to put your work in their stores. Putting them up on a website may help as well. Hope some of this helps.

Useless trivia moment. The term Moonraker was originally from stories about the wreckers in Cornwall (Su can edit the particulars, I'm sure). The story goes that some smugglers had gotten a shipment of French brandy in small casks, and while they were taking them from the beach to better hiding places they got word that a excise (tax) man was coming. They rolled the barrels into a lake and hid out. The 'sizeman was as clever as they were, and approached them later on, while they were pulling the casks out of the water, with long clamming rakes. It was a full moon...the 'sizeman approaches them and asks what they're doing. A man replies "Arrrr, we be the moonrakers." "The what?"

"We be the moonrakers." He points to the full moon reflected on the lake, and gives a crazy grin. "We be raking the cheese off of the water."

The sizeman decides they're all crazy and leaves them to their raking. The brandy was rescued and they lived to smuggle another day.

The End

They did miss one cask and it smashed on the rocks. The seabirds loved it. Reports said no tern was left unstoned.
