I am looking for large marbles. To be more exact, clear ones. I need two that look very much alike but with one difference. I need one of the marbles to have no or very little air bubbles within it. And another that has a large air bubble. I always wanted to do ‘Bubbles’ from the book ‘The Garden of the Strange’ but could never find the marbles that was needed.
Any help would be cool. If you have any marbles lying around that fits the bill, I will buy them from you. I am Looking for large clear marbles, one with no air bubbles and the other with a large air bubble inside it Best Ray |

Ray,
Check out Moon Marble Company (http://www.moonmarble.com/). The owner, Bruce, used to build magical apparatus at one previous point in his life. His love of making marbles has taken hold of what he does now, and he sells both artistic marbles - hand blown - as well as mass-produced ones. He has them in all different sizes including some clear ones - over an inch in diameter. Check with him and see if he can help you out, as he may have in stock what you need. The mass-produced ones would definitely be the way to go (as far as cost), but it may be he could custom make whatever you need in dimensions specific to your effect. Best, David |

Thanks for the link Luca. But you need to hold the marbles in your hands and see if they are what you need. I have ordered a few bags of marbles in the pass and still couldn't find what I was looking for.
David, Thanks for the link. I will talk to him about what I need. Thanks guys Ray |

I typed "bubble" in the search box of the link Luca gave you. One came up in the UK for 4.77
here's a site, but they are large and a set of 10 (also in UK) http://www.specialistaggregates.com/glas......649.html you could also contact a local glassblower or school that teaches it and have some made. s |

Thanks Sponge for the link.
For those that was lucky enough to buy the book, 'The Garden of the Strange’ you will know all the great routines within it. The ‘Bubbles’ routine has an emotional impact that takes a person on a little journey within themselves and to evaluate how friendships can be something of great importance. Best Ray |
