My Collection

This is a good chunk of my collection of contemporary art glass marbles, pictured en masse. Sometimes it's fun to see them all together like this, the 'big picture' of what the collection looks like. Many are tucked away, not nearly enough room to display them all. They've sort of taken over the house....wanna come over and dust for me....please???

I had no idea your addiction was that bad. You might need to see a specialist for that.All kidding aside, your collection is amazing. Especially for collecting for that short of a period of time. Very impressive. -Rich
