They use the noun "collectible" to describe items that have good resale
value, on shows like Antique Road Show, etc. The adjective "collectable"
refers to something worth collecting.

I never thought of the word collectible to refer to the resale value -
it
depends on the collector.

You know, I really hate that word, "collectible", as well as the
concept.
It really kind of means that the value is in the *resale*, and not the
item
itself, not in the worthiness of the art.

In that context, I'd much rather pay $1,000 for beads for the art
value,
and
their value as good material for other art work, than pay $200 for a
doll
because someone else might take it off my hands for a comparable
value.

It's the difference, in a real-market kind of way, between art and
craft. They may be one and the same to the maker, but the collector
will
pay that kind of money for something they perceive as collectible
art.
I
think it's a wonderful step forward for lampwork as an art...
we're
already there as a craft, but we have yet to be truly accepted as a
fine
art. (I'm not saying that we're all artists, but there are some
lampworkers who are, and should be (and aren't) accepted as fine
artists).

Now you've got me confused. I could only find Zimmerman Opaque. I
guess I'll have to go look some more.

I remember a time when I *swore* I would never spend more than ten bucks
for a pair of jeans.

In 1973 my rent was $48 a month. And the place was nice, too.

But see, I don't want to live there. Or even near there. I like it here, and
I think housing costs are low for the joy and privilege of dwelling here. :-)

knees--lemme grab my local paper and share an ad or two with you guys.

At least we might be working for an American company if we moved there.
