How do I know that I can trust your agreement? You could be lying!

Ooooh, it's like one of those puzzles, where you have two doors and two guards, one who always tells the truth and one that always lies.

 

Except that there's only one of you... Or is there?

(from the original post in this thread)

"tehgallery.dazzanet.com is unavailable or may not exist"

There needs to be a gallery of your balls in the British Library or something so it doesn't ever die...

Are the balls in question still on display somewhere physically?

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

Have you checked? You could phone them up, JR Hartley style, and enquire after your ball. I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear from you.

OK, sorry for dredging this up, but I was talking to my cousin in Ireland and we talked of the family for a bit. The conversation reminded me of you because of this thread. So I looked at your profile and it says to ask you about artfaggery and things that happened long ago. So here 'tis:

My great grandfather, Thomas Holmyard, a.k.a "Mad Thos.", was [primarily] a stone carver way back when in Southampton and thereabouts. There is apparently a mirror frame carved out of rosewood by him in Tudor House. He also apparently received commisions privately or was commisioned by the U.K. to carve many gravestones in the area after World War 1 and possibly 2.

Is it possible you have heard of him or may know anything about his carvings? I don't know that he was well sought after or not or even if he was particularly famous. I'd gather he was not. Can you shed any light, possibly?

I don't think I ever did see Steve's balls. I think that might just put me in a minority of one here.

They were OK. No great though, one of them had a crack in it.

:-) I am happy that you can't see my crack, BP.

I would like to go to Jersey to see whether the passing years have made it more visible. Also to see them all together: I made them in batches of three & sent them, so I've never seen them all together.

What was the conclusion of this thread? Did you post it somewhere before? Did they accept your cracked ball?

It was one of a commission of twelve "Prayer Nuts", on permanent display at Mont Orgueil castle in Jersey. The nuts are featured on the castle's website, immediately above "The Medieval Wheel of Urine".
