Hello Lyn,
Any chance of some pictures of this "similar" glass?

Can anyone tell me how my tinypic links are now 'no show' - all my early ones are still OK

Sorry to peeps who now can't see my Mdina, Phoenician and Mtarfa

Good point the bit I listed as experimental Mdina with the split top is Mtarfa as I bought this 1990s bit today - I think the other bit is earlier but they are both same design even if the sigs are all over place

Adam, the pics on Tinypics sometimes just seem to vanish without any reason... I remember someone saying Photobucket doesn't have the same problem, so may be worth checking out? Failing that, if you have access to some webspace you could use a gallery script to create your own online photo album (this is what I do on my webspace).  Another option would be to create galleries on Webshots as I think they allow private as well as public albums now.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Thanks Anne

I get a lot of free webspace with aol - I use it for my business and the hyperlinks work well - I can create as big a page as I want I just link to the http://hometown.aol.co.uk/blackcatgla/images/axe%20head%20and%20p%20weight%20copy.jpg within that page

But I am lazy and Tinypics was so much easier

I will probably use my own space from now own, as long as I keep each pic down to under 200kb as I could end up with a gigantic database LOL

Hi Anne

Yeah but those lazy days are done - I can just create a huge page with all my new buys in it and cherry pick when I want to hyperlink something

Like this new piece of Mdina I bought today (I do work .. but I own my own company, mmmmm say my partners)

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/blackcatgla/images/mdina%20bottle%20lady%20copy.jpg

This is really heavy and about 8" high - it is like a 'bust' in glass form - I think it's 70s with the colouring and mark - £18.00 you gotta go for it eh

:shock::shock::shock:

8"!!!!

Are you sure? These are normally 6". If yours is 8", that was an incredible find! :mrgreen:  :D:D:D

(Do you not think you should start a new thread on this, Adam, rather than hiding all these beauties on this one?).

Off to London today, (for the Cambridge fair) but will put some pics up when I get back next week.

Well spotted Chopin

I was getting mixed up while multi tasking - the vase is 6"

Men can never multi task as well as woman and they have a tendency to exaggerate size
