Perusing the stacks of a used book store recently I found this book on glass paperweights. With my recent focus on murrine making, I considered this find very fortuitous. Glass paperweights are fully of murrine and millefori. The book gave me a cursory background on glass paperweights which was fairly interesting. More importantly to me it is a wealth murrine examples. With torch time at Dream Fire Glass scheduled for tomorrow, I am studying this book as I work out a plan for how to approach my time at the torch. Spring is just around the corner, so millefori maybe...

Sounds wonderful. My mom use to have large glass paper weight when I was a child. It was clear and had orange flowers and bubbles inside of it. I loved looking at it. I guess that started my love for glass things. I have a large curio full of very colorful blown glass animals. It's amazing when the light is on and all those colors just sparkle.
