Hi, I loved the glass quest. It was really fun for me and family. My mom won a glass ball . She found it at the market place. Her name is Sheryl. She was so excited to find one. She has been looking for one for three years. The glass ball she won was very blue with some pink and purple. Thank so much for this quest. I think you guys should have this quest next year too. IT IS MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! Love, Aanya Havens

What excitement when we found the first clue ball!!! Thank you so much to Mark Ellinger at the Glass Quest Art Gallery for the beautiful Glass Ball. Everyone admires it. We had so much fun walking the trails, the beach and searching through the various stores questing for the the clue ball. We'll be back next year for more fun and adventure. Thank you again to everyone who makes this event possible. Cheers Roz Johns Richmond, BC Canada

Thank you Mark - for sharing your wonderful talent with my family today. We got lucky and found a clue ball at the Camano Animal Shelter after our visit with you! I will treasure it always. My grandson, Lane has shown every person he saw today the glass "rock" you let him pick out this morning. He loves it and was very inspired by you and your son!

Thank you, Mark and Marcus, for your hospitality and having us at the studio. I was totally amazed at the process and have a whole new respect for hand blown glass art pieces. It was absolutely fascinating. This was definitely the highlight of Faith’s visit to the West Coast. Thank you again for making it so special for her and for getting me hooked on your beautiful pieces of art. You both are truly appreciated!

I found one of your beautiful floats at Jeckyl Island yesterday, it was the highlight of my trip.
-- Lisa Ocampo, 2/7/11

We "found" one of your Float treasures at Jekyll Island Sat, Jan 29. It was #56. It was my wife's birthday Jan 28 and she read about the Treasure floats, but we never expected to find one as we did not get to Jekyll Island until around noon. But serendipity ruled and we walked up on one just as we got to Driftwood Beach. She was ecstatic and we are both very happy to have such a beautiful memento of happy times. Thanks so much.

About 5 1/2 years ago we visited your place while visiting in Arlington. I have a starfish and also purchased a float that you did when we were there, shipped it to me along with two other floats. Anyway, what I was wondering if you put any of the other things you make on your web site? Be fun to see some of that too. Nancy Bergeson
