Art Frozen in Glass

Hello Everybody! 

 I want to let everyone know that, if all goes well, we are going to have a guest blogger do tomorrow's post on Writing Straight from the Heart.  

 I'm not going to tell you who it is because it's a surprise.         

But it's someone who is the epitome of kindness and generosity. She also has immense talent!                                                                                    

  I hope you'll stop by tomorrow and have a great day today!  And now for today's post!                                                          

                                  

          

 Glass paperweights come in all kinds of colors, designs,  shapes and sizes.

They make splendid collections as well as gifts. 

Around here, glass paperweights are among my favorite collections.

If interested, another post on the paperweights can be found here:   .http://writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com/2010/02/art-forms-in-glass.html

 
Since it's a good idea to rotate collections, it was a perfect delight to find the glass paperweights once again. 


They had been packed away in a box and stored in the attic.


So this time, the paperweights are being kept on a round shelving unit in the "necessary" room.  









My favorite is this one, with the pink flower inside, probably because my favorite  color is pink.

This red rose in a heart-shaped weight, shown  below, is pretty, too, don't you think?

The glass birdie is surrounded by colorful art forms encased in glass.

Isn't the turquoise creation, shown below, an eye-catcher?

 For the most part,  I have stopped adding to my many collections because, well, enough is enough and that includes the paperweights.

 Unless, of course, some time and some place I see one that absolutely screamed out to join the others....

WHAT IS A FAVORITE COLLECTION OF YOURS?
