The first paperweight contains several parrot feathers and this was made for a lady in America. The photograph really doesn’t do the paperweight justice since in real life the subtle colours and textures of the feathers are fantastic.

This next paperweight is the first one I have made to contain a real flower. The flower was actually brought back to the UK from a funeral that was held in Cyprus and I am sure made a lovely keepsake.

This next paperweight is a square option that I provide and in this case contains a lock of hair...

The beauty about the square paperweight is that it can be stood upright on one of its edges to provide a display piece as illustrated in this example:

I appreciate I haven’t been blogging for a while but it should be back to normal next week since my children go back to school! It has been a little difficult juggling my jewellery business and entertaining them over the summer holidays but I have managed to survive!

Wonderful as always, I do love those square paperweights, glad you showed those off. The Parrot feather are rather cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynda and yes the parrot feather paperweight is one of my favourites too.
