Those are really fun!
I would point out you are ten days late on my January 1 prediction. And about 3 months faster than normal humans.
I was really teasing you about the 3 day turnaround. So instead you beat two weeks. Amazing.

Had a bad sleep night. Little cut but it was across the bottom of pinky fingernail in cuticle and the nail stopped the glass from going deeper. Sort of a constant bee sting level pain all night. Must be a blob of nerves there. Today no pain at all go figure. Poor rooster. He never felt a thing. First strike beheaded him. Thanks for all the kind words. Hold on to your hats, there is a bunch more on the way. The rest is almost exclusive Italian glass. Made in Italy using Murano process, but not true Murano glass. Chinese, Polish and a Romanian pieces thrown in for variety. Non is old, all newly made and purchased from discount stores. Did find an older piece at a thrift store, a thick Swedish Kosta Boda bowl 7 inches round weighing in at 4 pounds 15 ounces for $8. Darn, that's only $1.3/pound. However....the glass police disallowed reduction into tumble size pieces.

Some things are just better to keep to yourself. Don't ask, don't tell, lol.
Love the new tumbled rooster guts avatar, James.

Hurt eyes to look at due to extreme brightness. Looks like ultraviolet lighting the way it fluoresced the colors. You may have experienced this with digitals with rich colors/extreme light. Like flower innards with sun light hitting the outside of the flower. This effect
