Our Paperweights arrived today...
The parcel with the paperweights that Ross and I made at Hoglund Art Glass Studio arrived in the mail today, so I thought that now was a good time to post a few photos that I took in New Zealand:
My parents:
This is actually one of the nicest pictures of my parents that I have ever taken. Usually my father pulls a face, ruining almost every photo of them that I have. This time he was talking to my brother and ignoring the fact that I was taking a photo.
This is Ola Hoglund helping Mum remove the finished paperweight from it's punty (that's the long metal rod he's holding):
The glass is red hot, Mum choose a blue center for her paperweight, the same colour as Ross' in the picture below.
The pink paperweight is mine, and blue one Ross':
As you can see, I got a bit carried away trying to be artistic with mine, Ross' actually turned out really nice in a very understated way, mine is a bit over the top!

I only see your paperweight (half the photo) unless I click on it. Half pics everywhere. But very nice.
I can only see half of each pic too but they're full if I click on them.
Great photos.
I love the paper weights. What a lovely memory of your trip here.
Yours looks better here ~ more impressive. Outstanding.
Very nice!
